Anurag Basu's ensemble drama Metro… In Dino saw a strong surge at the box office on its ninth day, collecting Rs 4.65 crore on its second Saturday. This is nearly double its Day 8 earnings of Rs 2.35 crore, reflecting growing interest among moviegoers.
The film's upward trend is largely being driven by positive word-of-mouth, especially in urban centres, where audience turnout has significantly improved.
The Hindi (2D) version recorded steady growth in occupancy through the day. Morning shows reported 18.63% occupancy, which jumped to 47.86% in the afternoon and peaked at 56.28% during evening screenings. The increase signals renewed interest, particularly from viewers in metropolitan areas.
Metro… In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu, continues to hold its ground at the box office. The musical romantic drama features a star-studded cast, including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, and Neena Gupta.
While the film's earnings may not match the scale of recent Bollywood blockbusters, its performance is noteworthy—especially considering there was little pre-release hype and it released alongside major Hollywood competition like Jurassic World: Rebirth starring Scarlett Johansson. Metro… In Dino opened with Rs 3.5 crore and wrapped up its first weekend with Rs 16.17 crore, marking a promising beginning.
Set in metro cities, the film tells multiple interconnected stories of couples navigating modern-day love and relationships. It delves into how emotions, choices, and life's unpredictability shape love in today's fast-paced world. The film serves as a spiritual successor to Basu's 2007 hit Life… In A Metro.
Among the returning faces, only Konkona Sen Sharma reprises her involvement from the original film. Pankaj Tripathi's character draws similarities to the late Irrfan Khan's Monty—quirky, layered, and reflective of the emotional challenges in contemporary romance.
Audiences and critics alike have praised the film for its touching narrative, solid performances by the ensemble cast, and a soulful soundtrack by Pritam, which includes songs like Zamaana Lage, Aur Mohabbat Kitni Karoon, Qayde Se, and Dil Ka Kya.
