Metro…In Dino Opens To Positive Reviews, Collects Rs 3.35 Crore On Day 1
Metro…In Dino, the Anurag Basu directorial musical romantic drama anthology that hit the theatres on July 4, opened to positive reviews from fans and critics alike. Despite a favourable word of mouth, the film got a slow start at the box office. According to sacnilk.com, the film minted Rs 3.35 crore Nett in India on its first day. While the film had a modest turnout in morning and afternoon shows, it picked up a significant pace by evening and night.
The Hindi-language drama had an overall occupancy rate of 17.99 per cent on its first day, with night shows leading the way at 31.09 per cent. Evening shows also contributed significantly, allowing the film to finish the day with respectable numbers for a non-action, dialogue-driven ensemble feature.
Going by the reviews, Metro…In Dino's collection is likely to grow significantly in the coming days.
One of the key reasons for the film's slow start could be its box office clash with the Hollywood action thriller, Jurassic World: Rebirth starring Scarlett Johansson. It collected a whopping Rs 9 crore net in India on Day 1.
Produced by Bhushan Kumar and Anurag Basu, the film features an ensemble cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta and Saswata Chatterjee.
The film is a spiritual continuation of Basu's 2007 anthology Life in a… Metro. Eighteen years after the original captivated hearts with its depiction of urban relationships, this new chapter delves once again into the complex emotions of people negotiating love and loneliness in modern city life.
Metro…In Dino explores modern love and relationships across different age groups and cities, with a focus on themes of commitment, infidelity and second chances in a relationship. The key highlight of the film is the music by Pritam, especially tracks like Zamaana Lage, Aur Mohabbat Kitni Karun, Qayde Se, Dil Ka Kya and Mann Ye Mera.
Coming back to Anurag Basu, his next film is with Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela. The untitled romantic drama will be released in theatres on the occasion of Diwali. It will be clashing with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's horror-comedy Thama.

Abhishek Bachchan Dismisses Divorce Rumours With Aishwarya Rai; Ram Kapoor Reacts To Smriti Irani Comment
Last Updated: Abhishek Bachchan shuts down divorce rumours with Aishwarya Rai; Ram Kapoor responds to backlash over his old comment on Smriti Irani's weight, calling it a misunderstanding. Abhishek Bachchan has finally addressed the ongoing buzz and speculation around his personal life, especially the rumours claiming that he and his actress wife, Aishwarya Rai, are getting divorced. Ram Kapoor's recent remark about his Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi co-star Smriti Irani did not go down well with a section of netizens. In a conversation with Humans Of Bombay, he praised Smriti for achieving greater success than him despite her weight. However, many netizens perceived his remarks as backhanded compliments laced with body-shaming, and he was trolled for calling her 'huge'. Ram Kapoor has now reacted to the backlash, stating that Smriti Irani knows exactly what he meant to say, and that the trolls do not matter to him. Apoorva Mukhija aka The Rebel Kid recently hit the headlines after reports about her alleged earnings surfaced on the Internet. Business Today reported that she makes Rs 2.5 lakh every day, and her built a 'Rs 41 crore empire'. Amid this, a post by a IIT alumnus went viral. The user, who goes by the handle @digitalsangghi on X (formerly Twitter), shared a note highlighting the value society places on content creation compared to academic achievements. The post sparked a debate about meritocracy, and the shifting definition of success. Now, Apoorva Mukhija has finally broken her silence about the viral claim. She set the record straight, clarifying that the reported figures are incorrect. After playing Rashmika Mandanna's mother in Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal, veteran actress Indira Krishnan is all set to reunite with Ranbir in Ramayana: Part 1, where she will be seen essaying the role of Kaushalya, Lord Ram's mother. In a throwback interview with Times Now/Telly Talk India, Indira revealed that it was Ranbir himself who recommended her for the role in Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming magnum opus. Salman Khan has once again seized the spotlight, this time with the electrifying unveiling of the motion poster for his upcoming film Battle of Galwan. Set amidst the brutal, icy terrain of Ladakh, the film will bring to life one of India's most unforgettable military standoffs — a high-altitude confrontation fought without a single bullet being fired.

Metro In Dino Day 2 India Box Office: Anurag Basu's directorial shows reasonable growth to net Rs 5.50 crore on first Saturday; Total remain under par
Dino, directed by Anurag Basu and starring Ali Fazal, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Nina Gupta, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma and others, showed reasonable gains on day 2, after a low opening day. With Rs 5.50 crore net on day 2, the total of the movie stands at Rs 8.75 crore. Sunday should see a slight jump from day 2, and the movie will end with a weekend of Rs 14.50 crore net or so. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Dino Are As Under Dino's Rs 8.75 Crore Net Total In 2 Days Is Under Par; Strong Weekdays Required The collections of Dino in India so far are not up to the mark. Being a multiplex-oriented, metro-centric film with a low opening day, a Saturday growth was obviously coming. What the film essentially needs is a very strong weekday trend so that it can retain good screens in week 2 amidst stiff competition from Superman, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan and Maalik, apart from the already strong holdover releases. Dino Needs To Net Rs 55 Crore In India/Gross Rs 75 Crore Worldwide To Breakeven The weekday trend will determine whether Dino will barely cross Rs 30 crore net in India, or go on to do around Rs 40 crore net if not more. With the overseas collections not as strong as they should be, all the pressure is precisely on the India theatricals. As stated earlier, a Rs 75 crore gross worldwide collection is the bare minimum that the movie needs to do, in order to ensure that no one in the value chain loses any money. Given roughly Rs 10 crore gross will come from international markets, the Anurag Basu directorial needs to net around Rs 55 crore net, atleast. Dino In Theatres After Dino, Anurag Basu moves onto his next with Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela. Dino plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Anurag Basu and his Dino.
