Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 1: Aditya Roy Kapur-Sara Ali Khan's Film Off To A Slow Start
Anurag Basu's latest officering Metro In Dino, a spiritual successor to his 2007 film Life in a... Metro hit theatres on Friday.
What's Happening
Metro In Dino explores themes of urban relationships, heartbreak, and love, and features a notable cast including Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sara Ali Khan.
Despite the star-studded cast and anticipation around the film, Metro In Dino opened to a slow start.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 3.35 crore on its opening day.
The overall occupancy stood at 17.99%, with morning shows recording a modest 8.64%. Attendance gradually increased throughout the day, with afternoon and evening shows at 14.24% and 17.99%, and peaking at 31.09% during the night shows.
Key markets like Delhi-NCR and Mumbai saw occupancies of 19.25% and 19.50%, respectively.
Background
While the opening day numbers are higher than Anurag Basu's 2007 film Life in a... Metro, which earned Rs 87 lakh on its first day, Metro In Dino has not matched the opening figures of his later work. Basu's last theatrical release Jagga Jasoos, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, opened with Rs 8.57 crore. The current film has also underperformed when compared to Sara Ali Khan's last release Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, which had an opening of Rs 5.49 crore.
Metro In Dino is also facing stiff competition at the box office. Jurassic World Rebirth opened strongly with Rs 9 crore and continues to attract audiences. Films from previous weeks are still holding well-Kajol's Maa earned Rs 1 crore on Day 8, Brad Pitt's F1 collected Rs 3.50 crore on its eighth day, and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has already earned Rs 137 crore in two weeks.
The film comes at a time when Bollywood has seen a mixed first half of 2025. Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava remains the only major blockbuster with a gross of Rs 585 crore. Raid 2 has made Rs 173 crore, while Sitaare Zameen Par could soon join the top performers if it maintains its current pace.
As per Pinkvilla, the film has been made on a budget of Rs 100 crore, including Rs 85 crore for production and Rs 15 crore for marketing.

Vivek Oberoi says he felt stuck in Bollywood, turned to business and raised over $1 billion in last year alone: ‘You have to marry Silicon Valley with a Marwari mindset'
Vivek Oberoi has revealed that a sense of stagnation in the film industry led him to pivot more aggressively towards business. Having spent over two decades in Bollywood, the actor said he grew increasingly disillusioned with the lack of meaningful collaboration in the entertainment world. That realisation pushed him to pursue entrepreneurship, which he now calls his 'primary source of sustenance.' Speaking to CNBC TV-18, Vivek shared, 'After a while in the industry, I realised I was going around in circles and ending up where I started. I didn't enjoy that. It wasn't empowering. I enjoyed being there and collaborating with certain people, but collaboration needs to be a circular give-back.' Suresh Oberoi sparked his early interest in business The foundation for his entrepreneurial spirit, Vivek said, was laid in childhood thanks to his father, veteran actor Suresh Oberoi. He recalled how his father would often bring home inventory, sometimes perfumes, other times electronics, and ask a young Vivek to sell them door-to-door. 'When I was nine or 10, he would suddenly show up with inventory. One year it was perfumes, another year it was electronics... I'd fill it up in my backpack and go door-to-door. At the end of the day, he'd ask me for my 'khata book' and let me keep only the profit. He'd take the cost from me,' Vivek shared. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Two of his companies are set to go public The actor claims to be actively involved in 12 companies, and two of them are gearing up for an IPO. In the last year alone, he says he's helped raise approximately $1 billion (Rs 8,500 crore) in capital. According to reports, Vivek Oberoi's net worth now stands at around Rs 1,200 crore. 'I'm not averse to obnoxious capital,' he remarked. 'That is a substantial sum. But where that capital pipeline deploys and how is that growth protected... Somewhere, you have to marry Silicon Valley with a Marwari mindset. That marriage has to happen.' Vivek Oberoi confesses he wanted to 'end things' at one point: 'Which is why I related to what happened with Sushant Singh Rajput..' Tapping into the 'desi tadka' mindset in business Reflecting on Bollywood's penchant for adding a local twist to global concepts, Vivek added with a laugh, 'Even when we copied international films, we added our desi tadka. So, why not in business?' The shift, he explained, came when he chose to stop 'banging his head' against closed doors in the film industry and opted instead to build his own. 'It was about either going down a spiral of pessimism, or stop banging my head against that door and open another one instead.'

Jackie Shroff stood in queue to use common toilet in chawl even after becoming an actor, his neighbors then gifted him a washroom
Jackie Shroff may be one of the biggest stars in Bollywood, but his fame never changed who he was. The actor tasted stardom in '80s but despite that, he continued to stay in a chawl in Mumbai's Teen Batti. After gaining popularity in the film industry, his friends and neighbours from the chawl gifted him a private washroom. This was because there are only common washrooms in the chawl that everyone uses. Talking to Filmfare, Jackie Shroff recalled how he did not have a cupboard to keep his suits after becoming an actor. The actor revealed that first his suit came and then the cupboard. The entire chawl had assembled to see it when the cupboard came. 'I learnt the value of things there. There were three washrooms, and after I became an actor they gave me one washroom.' In a chawl of 30 people, Jackie stated that there were only 3 washrooms. Despite the scarcity, the chawl people gifted him one complete washroom after he became a star so that he did not have to stand in a queue. 'After I became an actor, producers and directors would come to meet me in that chawl. Whenever they had to use the washroom, they had to stand in line. The Chawl people didn't like it. So they told me, 'You have become such a star. We don't like it when you or your friends stand in a queue to use the washroom. We are gifting you the washroom.'' The actor recalled telling his friends from Chawl that he did not need another washroom and that his directors and producers did not mind standing in the queue. But his neighbours did not listen and put a lock on the washroom. On the work front, Jackie Shroff has quite an exciting project in his kitty. We all know that after the historic success of Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Siddharth Anand are reuniting on King. The film is slated to go on floors on May 20, 2025, and the team has got a solid ensemble on board the action thriller. King is led by SRK and DP with Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, and Abhay Verma in key roles. And apart from them, Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that the film is getting even bigger. According to sources close to the development, Siddharth Anand and Shah Rukh Khan have roped in Jackie Shroff for a key role in the film.
