The film opened to largely positive reviews at the ticket counters.

"The stories in Basu's romantic universe are interesting, believable, and very romantic. Their conflicts are familiar, and their joys are worth celebrating. An older woman wanting to live her youth at a college reunion, a husband chasing his wife to Goa to apologise, a wife refusing to give up on her husband during hard times, or two strangers falling in love - you feel like you've known these people. You've perhaps been one of them," India Today's review of the film read.

Meanwhile, the film is set to stream on Netflix 45-60 days after its theatrical release, i.e., the film could release on OTT by late August or early September. 

Directed by Anurag Basu, the film is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 film Life in a... Metro. Metro... In Dino features multiple stories of contemporary couples set in four metro cities of India that are set to connect with each other at some point. 

The film features Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Pankaj Tripathi in significant roles. The film was released in theatres worldwide on July 4.
