'Dil Ka Kya' a heady dose of nostalgia from golden era of modern Hindi film music

Anurag Basu's Metro sequel brings nostalgic musical journey with Pritam's soulful composition and star-studded ensemble cast

"The song is modern yet nostalgic, and deeply melancholic - Article Description"

Mumbai, June 9

The song ‘Dil Ka Kya’ from the upcoming film 'Metro...In Dino' was unveiled on Monday. The song is composed by Prtiam, and has been crooned by Raghav Chaitanya with lyrics by Anurag Sharma.

The song is a hat-tip to the cult song ‘Alvida’ from 'Life in a... Metro', which was also composed by Pritam. It is modern yet nostalgic, and deeply melancholic. The melodic structure is similar yet very different from Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga’s ‘Die With a Smile’.

Niladri Kumar once again brings his A-game to the table with his Zitar solo, an ornament in Pritam’s songs.

The video of the song is set across the intertwined lives of four couples, and explores the fragile nuances of romantic connection and separation amid the relentless chaos of city life.

'Metro...In Dino' marks the final chapter of Anurag Basu’s trilogy of hyperlinked cinema. The film’s recently launched trailer has received a positive response from audiences with a storyline that feels both intimate and universal.

The film features an ensemble cast including Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sensharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Neena Gupta, and Saswata Chatterjee.

The film is the sequel to 'Life in a... Metro', which was released during the golden age of modern Hindi film music. The album was the first all rock album in Bollywood, and set many trends, and inspired countless musicians across the country.

'Metro...In Dino' marks another collaboration between musical soulmates Anurag Basu and Pritam, who first worked together in the iconic album ‘Gangster’ setting the path to what would become one of the most memorable partnerships and director-music composer duo in Hindi cinema.

Presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series presents, in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd., 'Metro...In Dino' is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu.

The film is set to arrive in cinemas on July 4, 2025.

Wow! Just heard 'Dil Ka Kya' and it gave me goosebumps! Pritam sir never disappoints. The melancholic vibe reminds me so much of the original 'Alvida' but with a fresh twist. Can't wait for the full album now! ❤️

The zitar solo by Niladri Kumar is pure magic! Takes me back to the golden era of Hindi film music. Basu-Pritam combo is always special - Gangster, Metro and now this. Hope they don't overdo the nostalgia factor though.

As someone who grew up listening to 'Life in a Metro' album, this feels like coming full circle. But I hope the entire movie isn't just banking on nostalgia - need fresh storytelling too. The cast looks promising though!

Raghav Chaitanya's voice is perfect for this moody track! 😍 The video concept of interconnected lives in a metro city is so relatable for us Mumbai folks. Basu sir always captures urban loneliness so beautifully.

The comparison to Bruno Mars/Lady Gaga song is unnecessary - this has its own Indian soul. But I do wish Bollywood would stop rehashing old hits. Original compositions like 'Gangster' album are what made Pritam famous!

The ensemble cast is 🔥! Konkona, Pankaj Tripathi and Anupam Kher together? Basu knows how to get the best actors. Hope the story does justice to their talent. July 2025 seems so far away - can't wait!
