Nice  {:)}

So what stage are you in your flying ? Circuits, loops/rolls, or (beginning) 3D ?

Post some videos.  Heli videos from Indian fliers are so rare !

Question : At what point should a newbie into heli consider upgrading to metal head . What advantages does a metal head offer ?
Will it make it more resilient to crashes ?

Of course the metal head would improve crash resiliency (but in the in-frequent case of a part of the metal head breaking up, the replacement cost also goes up).

The bigger reason is safety, when you start doing aggressive flights (especially pitch-pumping moves).  If you are doing just hovering and circuits, upgrade is not an urgent task (it is more of a "nice to have").

Another advantage is that wear and tear is also less for metal heads, and enhances overall performance (reduces vibration as there is less "slop" and "flexing").
