The first song from Metro…इन दिनों is here and it is beauty! Titled
‘Zamaana Lage’, this soulful poetic track that features the return of the magical collaboration between composer Pritam and director Anurag Basu, introduces us to a world of modern love and relationships that will form the tale of Metro…इन दिनों.
A heart-touching ode to a love lost, ‘Zamaana Lage’ brings the union of the musical maestros—sung by Arijit Singh and Shashwat Singh, composed by Pritam, and lyrics by Indian poet Qaisar Ul Jafri and Sandeep Shrivastava. In Basu’s world of complex urban relationships, this song is a glimpse into the silent heartbreaks set against the bustling metro cities that keep moving.
Featuring the impressive cast of Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Neena Gupta, and Saswata Chatterjee, the song gives us the first look at these interconnected characters and the emotions of modern love that bind them.
Get lost in the heart of ‘Zamaana Lage’
The launch of ‘Zamana Lage’ was as heartfelt as the song itself. Held at Yuhi Lounge in Mumbai, the evening saw the entire cast including Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, and Neena Gupta, along with Director Anurag Basu, musical legend Pritam, Producer Bhushan Kumar (T-Series) and a stellar lineup of singers like Shashwat Singh, Papon and Raghav Chaitanya come together for a night filled with music, emotion, and cinematic soul. With the film’s stars and the musical team sharing their journey behind the album, followed by a live performance by the singers in attendance, the launch offered a moving glimpse into the soul of Metro…इन दिनों.
Built around Indian poet Qaisar Ul Jafri’s poignant line “Tumhaare sheher ka mausam bada suhana lage,” ‘Zamaana Lage’ brings the timeless ghazal form into a modern soundscape for a new generation of listeners. Earlier, Music director Pritam Chakraborty said, “With Qaisar Ul Jafri’s timeless poetry, we wanted to revive the ghazal as a form — not as nostalgia, but as something emotionally alive and relevant today, and bring it into the mainstream. With its rich history and timeless depth, we felt it doesn’t always have to live in a classical soundscape. A ghazal can be pop — it can be modern in sound and structure while still holding on to its poetic soul. That’s what we’ve tried to do with this song: reimagine the ghazal for today’s generation.”
After Life in a… Metro and Ludo, Metro…In Dino is the final chapter of Anurag Basu’s trilogy of hyperlinked cinema. Backed by producer Bhushan Kumar, the film weaves together a colourful, melody-soaked narrative of stories that reintroduces us to life in the metropolitan cities of India.
