Metro…In Dino’s ‘Zamaana Lage’ song launch: Anurag Basu reveals that unlike Life In A Metro, sequel is set in 5 cities; also adds, “Konkona Sen Sharma cried remembering Irrfan Khan in a scene”

Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, music director Pritam Chakraborty, singers Papon, Shashwat Singh and Raghav Chaitanya, director Anurag Basu and producer Bhushan Kumar attended the grand launch of the song ‘Zamaana Lage’ from Metro…In Dino. The film is a sequel to Life In A Metro (2007), which was also directed by Anurag Basu. It was set only in one city while the video of ‘Zamaana Lage’ makes it clear that that’s not the case with the sequel.

Anurag Basu was asked about it and he listed the cities shown in Metro…In Dino, Kolkata, Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai and a little bit of Pune”. He added, “The story travels in all these cities. We are all connected today. There’s not much of a distance as such in today’s times. Also, our city also plays an important role in our lives, be it Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata etc. That’s how we have tried to show it in this film.”

Konkona Sen Sharma is the only actor to be a part of Metro…In Dino as well as Life In A Metro. In the earlier part, she was paired opposite the late Irrfan Khan. Konkona was asked if she and Anurag missed the legendary actor. Konkona said, “We were just discussing that zamaane toh lagega unko bhoolne ke liye na! It happened many times. I don’t want to get into what and when. When you’ll watch the film, you’ll know when!”

Anurag Basu, however, opened up, “There were many moments in the film when we missed him. We were shooting a scene and its tone was similar to the scene we had shot before. In the middle of the shoot, there was a silent moment. Me and Koko (Konkona) looked at each other and she started crying. I guess we should not go there now.”

He continued, “We miss him. We also miss K K, cinematographer Bobby Singh and art director Rajat Poddar; all of them were integral part of my team and are not there now. They would have been sitting here today.”

Metro…In Dino releases in cinemas on July 4.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
