Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta reunite as lovers after 50 years in Anurag Basu's film 'Metro In Dino', a beautiful story of emotional relationships.
Anupam Kher: Bollywood stalwarts Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta are set to take audiences on another emotional journey. Anurag Basu's much-anticipated film, 'Metro In Dino', is slated for release on July 4th, 2025. The film's unique aspect lies in its portrayal of two lovers separated 50 years ago, reuniting later in life.
Parimaal and his Classmate's Incomplete Love Story
In the film, Anupam Kher plays 'Parimaal', a retired man living with his daughter-in-law in Kolkata. Wrestling with the loss of his son, Parimaal feels a void in his life. He then encounters his old classmate (played by Neena Gupta), a woman from his past. They were once close, deeply in love, but circumstances and time drove them apart.
Their reunion after 50 years unearths not only old memories but also lingering, incomplete emotions. The film showcases that love knows no age and its impact endures beyond the passage of time.
Anurag Basu's Art of Storytelling
Director Anurag Basu's storytelling style has always taken audiences into the depths of human emotion. 'Metro In Dino' is another example of his unique approach. The film interweaves multiple narratives, encompassing love stories across different age groups – incomplete love, new beginnings, and the rediscovery of lost feelings.
Anupam Kher compared Anurag Basu to classic filmmakers Basu Chatterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee, stating, "Basu ji's films are deeply rooted in life. He possesses the skill of weaving his experiences into his stories. His storytelling is effortless and deeply heartfelt."
Neena Gupta's Dream Fulfilled
Neena Gupta, known for her powerful performances, shared that working with Anurag Basu was a dream come true. She said, "I never imagined Anurag Basu would cast me in his film. He's very creative on set and often enhances scenes spontaneously."
Neena and Anupam's pairing has captivated audiences in previous films. In 'Metro In Dino', their chemistry and emotional depth will not only move viewers but also prompt reflection on whether every incomplete love story deserves a second chance.
A Stellar Cast and a Powerful Narrative
Beyond Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta, the film boasts a stellar cast including Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Aditya Roy Kapur in prominent roles. Each character represents a unique love story, highlighting the struggles of finding and preserving love amidst the fast-paced lives of city dwellers.
Anupam Kher added, "Every actor desires to work with a great director. Anurag Basu is one such director. Working with him elevates every artist's performance."
A Film that Touches the Realities of Life
Anupam Kher explains, "This film is about relationships that remain incomplete or those we forget over time. But when a forgotten relationship suddenly resurfaces in life, it shakes us to the core. That's the soul of this film."
Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta's pairing will portray love in a phase of life where emotions are often suppressed. This film will compel audiences to ponder whether incomplete relationships should ever be denied a second chance.
