Karan Johar has lauded the teaser of the song "Zamaana Lage" from the upcoming film Metro In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu. The film, a sequel to Basu's 2007 hit Life in a... Metro, explores the complexities of modern love and relationships. Johar's praise highlights the growing anticipation for the film, which features a star-studded cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Anupam Kher, among others.
The teaser of "Zamaana Lage" offers a glimpse into the interconnected lives of the characters as they navigate the emotional battles of contemporary relationships. The song, composed by Pritam and sung by Arijit Singh and Shashwat Singh, is built around the poignant line "Tumhaare sheher ka mausam bada suhana lage" by Indian poet Qaisar Ul Jafri, with additional lyrics by Sandeep Shrivastava. Pritam has described the song as a modern ghazal, aiming to revive the traditional form for today's generation while retaining its poetic soul. He emphasized the desire to make the ghazal emotionally alive and relevant, moving it into the mainstream with a contemporary sound and structure.
Several voices from the film fraternity and fans alike have echoed the positive sentiment towards the teaser. Konkona Sen Sharma, who starred in the original Life in a... Metro, dedicated the song to her late co-star Irrfan Khan, evoking a sense of nostalgia and reminding audiences of their memorable performance as Shruti and Monty.
The Metro In Dino soundtrack seems to be generating significant buzz, with many expressing excitement for the full song release on May 28, 2025. Some observers note that the teaser has successfully piqued audience interest in Bollywood music after a long period of decline and that the movie's music may mark a rebirth of romance in the industry.
Metro In Dino is the third and final chapter of Anurag Basu's trilogy, following Life in a... Metro and Ludo. The film is jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Anurag Basu, and Taani Basu and is presented by Gulshan Kumar & T-Series in association with Anurag Basu Productions Pvt. Ltd. The film is slated to release on July 4, 2025.
