Box Office: Metro In Dino emerges surprise success of 2025; Headed for a Rs 50 crore finish in India
According to early trends, Metro In Dino is showcasing an 80 percent spike in business on the second Saturday, with estimates in the range of Rs 4.00 crore. This could go higher too, depending on the walk-ins for evening and night shows. There will be another surge on Sunday, and the second weekend business is expected to be around the Rs 11.25 crore mark, which will be a nominal dip of just 30 percent from the first weekend.
The trend so far indicates appreciation in the urban markets, and the film is looking at a healthy run even post the second weekend. What looked like a sub-30 crore finish on first-day, is now poised for a Rs 50 crore lifetime in India. The 9-day total of Metro In Dino stands at Rs 31.50 crore, and it's looking to stand around the Rs 36 crore mark at the end of second weekend. The film is a surprise success of 2025, as not a lot was expected from it due to the changing dynamics of cinema in the post-Covid world.
The good news is also in the fact that audiences are stepping out to consume non-event films on the big screen, and the summer of 2025 has played a big role in changing the tide. The industry was struggling as the mid-level successes had disappeared and the last 4 months has seen plenty of them in the form of Jaat, Kesari 2, Raid 2, Sitaare Zameen Par, and now, Metro In Dino. Even Maa had put up reasonable numbers over the weekend upon its release.
Metro In Dino will end up being an Average/Semi Hit film depending on the lifetime business, but the second Saturday growth has confirmed the 'SUCCESS' tag for the romantic comedy. The film has done the best business in urban markets, and this audience has carried the film to a reasonable number to emerge a success story despite higher costs.
For those unaware, the film features Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkana Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Shaikh in lead roles.
Metro In Dino Day Wise Box Office Collections:
Week One: Rs 25.25 crore
2nd Friday: Rs 2.25 crore
2nd Saturday: Rs 4.00 crore (Expected)
Total: Rs 31.50 crore

Bhindi Bazaar recreated in Thailand for Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: Production designer reveals taking 300 people's help
Ever since Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar' s teaser has been out, fans have been eagerly waiting for the film. Whether it's the change in avatar or the casting, everything has already created hype. But did you know that it took more than a year of blood, sweat, sleepless nights, and an ambitious globe-trotting recce to create the final product we enjoy on-screen? In a recent interview, production designer Saini S Johray opens up about recreating Pakistani lanes in Thailand and more. What went behind creating the 'massive' sets of Dhurandhar? Saini S Johray revealed that it took him almost 3 months to build the 'massive' sets for Dhurandhar. From March to May, he and his team spent designing, June was for recce, and in July, they began shooting. He further revealed having 12 designers in his team who worked for 12 hours a day, as it was a very vast film. "I think in my career, it's one of those films that has the maximum number of locations," he added. Explaining how they re-created Pakistani lanes, Saini said that they relied on newspaper cuttings, old videos, and news to understand the geography of the particular area of Pakistan. Then they created a 6-acre set in Thailand and a massive one on Madh Island. Why did Saini S Johray zero down on Thailand? Johray explained that they couldn't shoot in Mumbai with the star cast they had. It wasn't possible for them to shoot in a studio, as they wanted a huge 6-acre plot. Moreover, the shooting dates were in July, which meant Mumbai would be facing severe monsoons, hence they couldn't put a set there. So, that is when they arrived in Thailand, and its beautiful landscape was just perfect for them to build a larger-than-life set. Saini worked with 200-300 Thai people for 20 days to create this massive set for Ranveer Singh starrer. He exclaimed, "Thai people don't know how Bhindi Bazaar looks, so I had to make sure that everything looks 100% real and not Thailand at all. If you look at the teaser, you wouldn't even notice it!" Well, we bet this is going to make you go back and watch the first look of Dhurandhar, only to find out parts of Thailand in Bhindi Bazaar. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more such news.

Konkona Sen Sharma opens up on casual sexism in Bollywood: 'Call it out, even if it's just a joke'
Actor-director Konkona Sen Sharma has spoken candidly about navigating casual sexism in the film industry. In a recent interview, she stressed the importance of addressing problematic behaviour, even when it comes masked as humour or within personal circles. In a recent interview, Konkona Sensharma highlights the importance of confronting casual sexism in the film industry, urging people to call out problematic behaviour.(AFP) Things must change, says Konkona In an interview with Zoom, Konkona reflected on her own journey as both an actor and a filmmaker. She acknowledged that while she has encountered instances of sexism, her experience has been relatively less intense compared to many others. She said that her smoother path as a director was partly due to her existing recognition as an actor and her unique background in the industry. "One has to be able to recognise that it's very wrong and bad and that things must change. I feel it's very important to call it out, even among friends, because there are a lot of things we normalise, like the words we use or the way we speak about people. I think you have to call it out every single time, even if it sounds boring or even if it's "just a joke." I always say it—even as a joke, I would like to call it out, and I do say it as much as possible," Konkana said. Konkona on growing a thick skin While advocating for change, Konkona acknowledged the harsh realities of working in a biased environment. "To a certain extent, you do have to grow a bit of a thick skin because you still have to do what you set out to do. You can't let other people's bad behaviour stop you, even though they shouldn't behave like that, and you shouldn't have to compensate for their behaviour, but practically speaking, that's how it is. So I do think it's important to call it out, especially among our own friends and circles, and to look out for other people." Konkona's latest work Konkona was last seen in Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino, which released in theatres on 4 July. The film also features Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta. Backed by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series, the film offers an emotionally layered take on modern relationships.

AIR 238 in JEE, IIT Delhi degree, well-paying job... then left everything for Rs 500 assignments. Now, he works with Ranbir Kapoor and Manoj Bajpayee
From cracking IIT Delhi with an AIR of 238 to stealing scenes as the iconic DJ Chitvan in TVF Tripling and portraying Bhagat Singh alongside Vicky Kaushal in Sardar Udham , actor Amol Parashar has lived one of the most unconventional Bollywood journeys of our time. In a recent conversation with Humans of Bombay, Amol shared how he walked away from a cushy consulting job — and proud parental expectations — to chase something that gave him true joy: theatre. With no contacts and little money, he arrived in Mumbai and began hustling at Prithvi Theatre, earning just Rs 500 to Rs 1000 per show while doing part-time jobs to stay afloat. It wasn't glamorous. But his persistence paid off — six months into the grind, a casting director who remembered him from his IIT days offered him an audition, which landed him his debut in Yash Raj Films' Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year , starring Ranbir Kapoor. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tiger meeting her former zookeeper after 5 years.
