Metro In Dino box office prediction day 1: Anurag Basu's romantic drama may earn only Rs 3 crore
Metro in Dino set for a slow start
Director Anurag Basu is in the limelight because of his latest film Metro In Dino, which offers a biting take on modern relationships. According to Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst, the romantic drama is likely to take a slow start at the Indian box office.
'This is a multiplex-centric film. I think it will earn around Rs 3 crore on the first day,' he told Indiatimes.
If this prediction holds, Metro In Dino will open lower than leading man Aditya Roy Kapur's previous film Gumraah (2023). The actioner, a remake of Arun Vijay's Thadam, had earned nearly Rs 8 crore (nett) on the first day. It will, however, be able to beat Rashtra Kavach: OM, which made Rs 1.51 crore on the first day.
Metro In Dino may work only in select markets, fail to benefit from 'sequel hype'
Metro In Dino is expected to fare well in markets like Delhi and Mumbai. It may also find patronage in Chennai and Bengaluru. However, given the urban theme, it is unlikely to make an impact in the mass pockets. According to Koimoi, the film had sold only 4k tickets across National multiplex chains at 8 am on July 3. This indicates that it has a limited reach.
Metro in Dino is a sequel in essence, to Basu's 2007 film Life in a Metro. It, however, is unlikely to benefit from this as the first film was released over 15 years ago.
' See, most people will view it as a fresh film. The first part came out long back. That said, some may still be drawn to the brand. So, it's mixed,' added Ramesh Bala.
Metro In Dino is a romantic drama directed by Anurag Basu, It centres on the lives of four couples based in different cities. The cast is headlined by Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, and Anupam Kher. Pritam serves as the music composer.
