Plus: Reviews of ‘Metro...In Dino’, ‘Kaalidhar Laapata’ and ‘The Hunt’. Here are this week's top reads from The Reel.
Anurag Basu’s Metro…In Dino is billed as a spiritual sequel to his Life in a Metro (2007). In the new film, Basu adds Kolkata, Delhi and Bengaluru to Mumbai as the cities where couples in bad marriages or dodgy relationships make decisions to stay or leave. Pritam is back, but does the film work?
Madhumita remakes her charming Tamil film K.D. as Kaalidhar Laapata with a few significant changes, one of which works against the film.
K.D. is available on Netflix. Here’s the review from 2019.
