Metro In Dino 3 Weeks India Box Office: Anurag Basu's movie gradually moves towards Rs 50 crore net club after poor start

Metro... In 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, has ended its 3rd week at the Indian box office on a slow but steady note, as has been the case for the film throughout its run. After a slow Rs 3.25 crore net start, it seemed as though there will be no way the movie will be able to manage even decent numbers. Dino Did Well To Hold Its Own Amidst Competition With Jurassic World: Rebirth and F1 doing the business that they were, and with Superman and a couple of other reasonably sized Bollywood films like Maalik and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan hitting theatres immediate after, it looked like the movie would get completely sandwiched by its competition. That however didn't happen to be the case as Dino stood its ground, week after week. It netted Rs 25.45 crore in week 1 and dropped by less than 40 percent in week 2, as it collected Rs 16.25 crore. In week 3, the movie has added Rs 6.65 crore. These are excellent numbers considering that blockbuster Saiyaara hit the screens in this week. The Day Wise Net India Collections Of Dino Are As Under Particulars India Net Collection Week 1 Rs 25.45 crore Week 2 Rs 16.25 crore 3rd Friday Rs 1 crore 3rd Saturday Rs 1.70 crore 3rd Sunday Rs 2 crore 3rd Monday Rs 50 lakh 3rd Tuesday Rs 60 lakh 3rd Wednesday Rs 45 lakh 3rd Thursday Rs 40 lakh Total Rs 48.35 crore in 3 weeks Dino Looks To End Its India Run Netting Rs 55 Crore With Rs 48.35 crore net after 3 weeks, the musical romance is just inches away from the Rs 50 crore mark. It is likely to end its run in the vicinity of Rs 55 crore net (Rs 66 crore gross). The overseas collections are expected to end at an above-expected USD 1.4 million (12 crore gross), meaning that the movie will end up with a gross total of Rs 78 crore. This is not a solid or even a good number. But it shall be looked at respectfully since it opened to numbers where even a Rs 40 crore worldwide looked like a distant dream. Dino May Barely Breakeven BUT... Due to high production costs, the movie may just about breakeven at the box office. Had the costs been managed well, this could have been a profitable movie. All is not lost as T-series stands to gain big from the film's music. The music of Dino is a bonafied hit. Dino In Theatres Dino still plays in select theatres across the globe.

'It ain't like I'm a small guy' — Markieff Morris dares Nikola Jokic's MMA-trained brothers to box

(Image Source - Getty Images) In a lively episode of "The Big Podcast" hosted by NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal on July 24, 2025, Markieff and Marcus Morris, twin brothers and seasoned NBA players, threw down a bold challenge. They dared Nikola Jokic's brothers, Strahinja and Nemanja Jokic, to step into a boxing ring to settle an old score. The conversation, sparked by co-host Adam Lefkoe's comment about fearing Jokic's towering siblings, turned into a heated exchange about size, strength, and a potential fists-only showdown. Markieff Morris flexes his 6-10 frame on The Big Podcast The joking began when Adam Lefkoe remarked to the crew, "I'm super scared of Jokic's brother. That guy is massive. He's got a mohawk and everything." Markieff Morris was quick to respond — 'What does it mean? The bigger they are, the harder they fall. We big too. I'm 6-10, 270. It ain't like I'm a small guy. I'm bigger than them.' On "The Big Podcast," Markieff showed off his confidence in his 6-foot-10, 270-pound physique, shrugging off any thoughts that the Jokic brothers' size would intimidate him. Shaq's Thoughts On Kobe vs T-Mac, Calls Out The Morris Twins On Their Jokic Beef + 2k Ratings Debate Marcus Morris, playing for the LA Clippers, jumped in to back his twin: 'Yeah, for sure! We can get as long as they don't use their feet, we can get it on.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo he reiterated the condition, stating, "As long as you can't use your feet. No kicking," in the same podcast conversation. The Morris brothers seemed to be aiming for a pure boxing match, mindful of the Jokic brothers' talents that extend past just boxing. Shaquille O'Neal, steering the conversation, asked, 'Oh because one of them is an MMA fighter?' to which Marcus replied, 'They'd be grabbing feet and all that. We can't do that. We can get it on straight.' This discussion, taken from "The Big Podcast," confirmed that Nemanja Jokic's MMA history was a major concern. Adam Lefkoe summed it up by saying, "So strictly boxing," and Marcus nodded in agreement, saying, "Only boxing," making the terms unmistakably clear. Markieff Morris recalls the 2021 incident with Nikola Jokic The dare from the Morris twins goes back to a heated moment in 2021, during an NBA matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat. Markieff Morris, who was playing for the Heat at the time, committed a hard foul on Nikola Jokic, elbowing him as Jokic was bringing the ball up the court in the fourth quarter. The Nuggets were already dominating the Heat, and Morris's foul seemed to ignite a response. Jokic retaliated by pushing Morris from behind, causing him to crash to the floor. Morris ended up with a neck injury that sidelined him for 58 games, while Jokic received a one-game suspension and Morris was fined $50,000. The fallout didn't stop there. Marcus Morris tweeted that night, 'Waited till bro turned his back smh. NOTED,' hinting at payback. Nikola's brothers, Strahinja and Nemanja, hit back by creating a Twitter account, @JokicBrothers, and posted: 'You should leave this the way it is instead of publicly threatening our brother! Your brother made a dirty play first. If you want to make a step further be sure we will be waiting for you !! Jokic Brothers. ' This online spat turned a one-off scuffle into a family feud. Fast forward to 2025, and the Morris twins are using Shaq's podcast to bring the rivalry back to life. In the episode, Markieff reflected on the 2021 incident and described Jokic's shove as a 'cheap shot,' saying, 'I did a basketball play... He hit me from behind... I'm not even in the mode of knowing you're about to hit me.'

Making it happen would involve navigating contracts, safety protocols, and securing approvals from the NBA and other organizations, not to mention the injury risks for professional athletes. Yet, the banter on the podcast illustrates just how genuine the rivalry appears. Shaq, who dubbed Nikola his 'favorite big man' on the show, even sided with the Morris twins against the Jokic brothers' antics, adding fuel to the fire. FAQs Which podcast featured this conversation about the Jokic brothers? The exchange happened on "The Big Podcast" with Shaquille O'Neal. What did Markieff Morris say about Jokic's brothers' size?
