Excited for this! The original Metro was such a refreshing take on urban relationships. Aditya's right - when stories feel real, success follows naturally. Hope they maintain that raw emotional honesty. 🤞

Not sure about this sequel. The original had Irrfan Khan's magic which can't be replicated. But Aditya-Sara pairing looks fresh. Will give it a chance if reviews are good.

Basu-Pritam combo is always gold! The music of first Metro still plays in my playlist. Aditya has grown so much as an actor since Aashiqui 2 days. July 4 - marked on calendar! 🎬

Love how Aditya keeps it real - no fake box office number promises. Just wants people to connect. That's the sign of a true artist. Hope the film lives up to the original's legacy.

The ensemble cast looks promising but I worry it might be trying too hard. Original worked because it was simple and heartfelt. Hope they don't overcomplicate things with too many subplots.

Konkona Sen Sharma returning is the best news! She was brilliant in the first one. Aditya-Sara chemistry looks sizzling in the teasers. Basu better deliver another masterpiece! 😍
