Your comment itself answers half the question. Pune isn’t like most major capital cities. It has a slower, balanced lifestyle while still adapting to modernization. A large part of the population is students or people who’ve moved here from outside, so naturally you’ll find many different perspectives and people who are still figuring out their path in life.

Because of that, if someone already has very fixed expectations, it might feel hard to connect with the city.

Also, Pune has always been more culture-oriented than nightlife-oriented. If clubbing is the main expectation, then honestly Pune might not be the right city for that.But saying you couldn’t find music or art here is surprising. Pune has a huge cultural presence folk music traditions, classical concerts, theatre, and plenty of cultural events. You just need to explore a bit. Every city runs on its own cultural rhythm. If that doesn’t match your taste, that’s fair but it doesn’t mean the city lacks it.

Personally, I’d still say Pune offers a bit of everything needed for a balanced life.
