Metro In Dino Final Advance Booking: Anurag Basu's ensemble sells 18500 tickets in top national chains for day 1
Metro...In Dino Has Sold 18,500 Tickets In Top Indian National Chains For Day 1
Metro...In Dino has managed to sell 18500 tickets in top national chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for day 1, and it is below par. The movie should have had double the number of tickets sold for the opening day, if not more; since it is firstly the sequel of an acclaimed film like Life In A Metro, and secondly because it is a pricey film that really requires strong theatrical performance to breakeven.
Metro...In Dino Needs To Gross Atleast Rs 75 Crore Worldwide To Breakeven
Based on Pinkvilla's analysis on the Metro...In Dino's costs, the movie needs to gross atleast Rs 75 crore worldwide to ensure that the movie doesn't lose anyone associated with the film, any money.
The film was sanctioned for Rs 65 crore, but the budget shot up due to reshoots. With a Rs 85 crore cost of production and Rs 15 crore p&a expenses (bringing the total costs to Rs 100 crore), the movie has recovered Rs 70 crore from non-theatrical revenue sources. Rs 75 crore gross worldwide collections will ensure the Rs 30 crore share required for the movie to breakeven, is managed.

Metro In Dino box office collection day 1 early report: Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur film off to a weak start
Metro In Dino box office collection day 1 early report: Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur's Metro In Dino released on July 4 to mixed reviews. The romantic musical, directed by Anurag Basu, also features Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and Anupam Kher. Despite its ensemble cast, the film has received a lukewarm response at the box office. According to early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, it opened with Rs 2.63 crore nett in India on day one. On Friday, the film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 13.62% in theatres, with morning shows at 8.64%, afternoon shows at 14.24%, and evening shows at 17.99%, according to Sacnilk. Bengaluru reported the highest occupancy on day one, at 28.33%. Advance bookings for Metro In Dino brought in only Rs 50–60 lakh, a relatively low figure. Given the mixed response from both critics and audiences, it remains uncertain whether the film will gain momentum over its opening weekend. However, it's worth noting that the movie is already ahead of its predecessor, Life in a… Metro (2007), which earned Rs 87 lakh on its opening day and went on to collect Rs 24.31 crore worldwide over its lifetime.

The latest installment of the Jurassic franchise, starring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey, has already earned Rs 4.43 crore in India. An excerpt from SCREEN's review of Metro In Dino read, 'What I really enjoyed in the film were the nimble writerly leaps and the people speaking to each other as people do, in sentences which feel as if they are coming from the character's lives, rather than rehearsed dialogues on the page. Yes, there is the occasional floweriness, but that's just Basu leaning into his bent for amping up the mundane. As the architect of edifices full of messy emotions and registering graphs of hurt and happiness, Basu retains his old touch, and I found myself smiling in the dark, especially in the first half. Things do slacken post-interval; a couple of crucial situations repeat themselves, and the film strains to fill its nearly three hour length.'

Chosen as the season's first Traitor by host Karan Johar, Purav was eliminated during the tense Circle of Shaq round by fellow contestants Uorfi Javed, Nikita Luther, Harsh Gujral, and Sudanshu Pandey. A day after the finale, on July 4, Purav took to Instagram to share how overwhelmed he felt after his elimination. He posted a series of photos, including one of him crying on a flight back to Mumbai. 'I was crying last night in the flight not just because of I didn't win the show.. bhyiii mene jo aapke texts dekhe DM me.. ufffff bhyiii zindgi me nahe socha ki kabhi itna pyaar milega," he wrote. 'Like legit kuch log mere lie ro rahe ki aap kyu nahe jeete..O hello cuties me jeet gaya. isse zyda aur kya chaiye mujhe." Purav also reacted to a shocking revelation during the finale.

Despite not winning the game, Purav ended his note with gratitude and optimism. 'Baki innocents ko khoob badhai. #TheTraitors this show was truly Roller coaster for me. Thank you Again may be i failed as a Traitor But your love made me a winner." Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luther were crowned the winners of The Traitors, taking home Rs 70 Lakh in prize money.

Metro In Dino Was Meant For Irrfan Khan & Konkona Sen, Says Anurag Basu
Anurag Basu reveals Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma were always his first choice for the Life in a... Metro sequel, calling their story timeless. Anurag Basu has won hearts with his recently released film Metro… In Dino, a spiritual sequel to Irrfan Khan starrer Life in a… Metro. While it took Anurag almost two decades to return to the franchise, what stayed with him was the memory of Irrfan Khan. In an exclusive chat with News18, Anurag discussed his musical romantic drama in detail and revealed why Konkona Sen Sharma was the only returning cast member while the rest of the ensemble was fresh. 'Vo, kya hai… Sabse pehle jab maine likhna shuru kiya tha, toh 3–4 saal pehle ek baar likh ke maine usko side mein rakh diya tha. When I was writing that film, Konkona aur Irrfan ki story main aage le ke jaa raha tha — from the earlier Metro. Phir uske baad maine Metro banayi nahi, main dusri filmon mein busy ho gaya. Jab wapas visit kiya toh yeh hi kahani meri likhi hui thi. Konkona ki casting mere dimaag mein pehle se thi, toh naturally… I called her," Anurag shared. While most filmmakers cast actors first, Basu agreed when we asked if he had cast the singers first for Metro… In Dino. After laughing it off, he admitted that Pritam was always on his mind and said, 'Konkona and Pritam were the first final casting for this film." Anurag Basu has long treated music not just as a background element but as a character in itself. His musicals have a distinct soul. When asked if he believes India is ready for musicals, he said, 'Yes, absolutely. If you look back at the old films, where our cinema began, this is our history. We had lost our way somewhere in the middle." But does that deep connection to music leave him anxious about the outcome? Not quite. 'If you overthink so much, it becomes difficult to make a film with honesty. Then it turns into — will this work or not, let's do this instead, let's add that — that's dishonesty towards the film, isn't it? Just make it with honesty and give it your best. If you're making a film just to please everyone, then it's better to make rajma chawal instead — why make a film at all?" he concluded. On the work front, Anurag Basu is enjoying rave reviews for Metro… In Dino, which features an ensemble cast including Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Saswata Chatterjee, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sara Ali Khan. Up next, he is working on a musical drama starring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela in the lead roles. First Published:
