In its review of 'Metro…In Dino', NDTV's Radhika Sharma wrote that Anurag Basu's "much-awaited" sequel to 'Life in a...Metro', which released 18 years ago, is "worth the wait". Noting that actresses drive the narrative in the sequel, Radhika wrote, "These women speak out...They don't make compromises...They're people with agency." "Irrfan Khan would be proud of Pankaj Tripathi," review concluded.
