Day 1 (Friday): Rs 3.5 crore
Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 6 crore
Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 7.25 crore
Total: Rs 16.75 crore
ETimes review for the film reads, "Despite being largely pleasant, some tracks don't quite add up, feel uneven and don't know where to end. After an engaging build up, the second half feels a tad stretched. You also wish the story scratched the surface a little more, especially for Konkona-Neena Gupta track, where the actors have the potential and gravitas to dig deeper. There has been a scarcity of love stories in Bollywood and Metro In Dino, elevated by some fine performances, fills that gap perfectly.
It is a breezy, intimate watch tailor-made for a rainy day."

'He didn't known where to get dinner...' Abhishek Bachchan recalls Amitabh Bachchan's darkest days, sacrificed college to clear his Rs 90 crore debt
'He didn't known where to get dinner...' Abhishek Bachchan recalls Amitabh Bachchan's darkest days, sacrificed college to clear his Rs 90 crore debt Amitabh Bachchan is one of the biggest superstars that Indian cinema has ever produced. Known as the 'Shahenshah' of Bollywood, his journey to stardom has been full of highs, lows and crushing moments that tested his strength. While he conquered the world of cinema, the most toughest challenge came not on-screen, but in his personal life, when he started his own company and went bankrupt, leaving him with debts of nearly 90 crore. Initially, Big B's career didn't start on a successful note. His first few films failed to impressed masses and critics. But in 1973, Zanjeer changed his destiny and he tested real success after that. From there, he rose to superstardom and gave Indian cinema some of his most iconic performances. When did Amitabh Bachchan shift his focus from acting to business? However in mid-1990s, Amitabh Bachchan decided to venture into business by starting his own company, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited (ABCL). Unfortunately, his entertainment establishment failed to run successfully, and became a nightmare. ABCL's financial mismanagement led him into massive debts of nearly Rs 90 crore. At that time, Abhishek Bachchan, who went to Boston University for further studies, rushed back after he heard his father's financial struggles. He made a bold decision to quit college midway and support Big B. While talking to Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast, Abhishek had recalled, 'My father was going through this really rough time. He had started this business called ABCL… I said, I can't be here in Boston when my father doesn't know how he's going to get dinner. And that's how bad it was.' What did Abhishek Bachchan tell Amitabh during his lowest phase? Abhishek said that it was his 'moral' responsibility to stand by his father's side. He then described how he told his father about quitting collage. Amitabh called him to his study late night and reportedly told him, 'Movies aren't working out, the business isn't working out, nothing is working out.' But through it all, Amitabh Bachchan decided to fight back and never gave up. With the unwavering support of his family, Amitabh slowly built his career from the scratch. He went back to films, and took on some roles and did shows like Kaun Banega Crorepati to clear all his loans. Today, at the age of 82, Amitabh Bachchan continues to work, inspiring generation of actors across with his hard work, dedication and perseverance.

‘Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' Box Office collection day 3: Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey's romantic drama draws lukewarm response; earns Rs 41 lakh on Sunday
Shanaya Kapoor 's big Bollywood launch in 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' was expected to make quite a splash. But three days into its release, the film's numbers show it has a long way to go. Despite the fresh pairing of Shanaya and Vikrant Massey and a unique love story, the romantic drama is finding it tough to pull crowds to cinemas. Box office collection after three days As per early estimates on Sunday, 13th July, by sacnilk, 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' managed to earn only Rs 41 lakh on its third day. This pushed its total collection to just about Rs 1.2 crore. The film had opened with Rs 30 lakh on its first day (Friday) and saw a slight growth on Saturday, collecting Rs 49 lakh. Though the weekend usually gives films a good boost, Shanaya's debut hasn't enjoyed that big jump yet. Occupancy on day 3 On Sunday, 13th July, the film's overall Hindi occupancy was recorded at 16.90%. Morning shows were quite empty at 7.40%, afternoons were a bit better at 20.09%, evenings touched 23.84%, but the night shows again dipped to 16.25%. This means not many people are stepping into theatres to watch this new love story. Facing tough competition Another reason why 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' is struggling is the strong competition at the box office. Rajkummar Rao 's 'Malik', which released on the same day, has already earned over Rs 14 crore in just three days. Meanwhile, the Hollywood biggie 'Superman' is doing even better, collecting more than Rs 25 crore in the same time. Older releases like 'Sitaare Zameen Par' and 'Metro… In Dino' are also still pulling audiences, leaving little room for Shanaya Kapoor's first film to grow. About 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' Directed by Santosh Singh , 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' offers an unusual plot. The film is set in the peaceful hills of Mussoorie and follows Saba, a theatre artist on a solo trip. In a surprising choice, Saba decides to stay blindfolded for more than two weeks, putting all her trust in a stranger she has never even seen. She meets Jahaan, who hides his impairment from her. For him, Saba's company brings a lovely sense of normal life, without pity or sympathy. This bond becomes the heart of their gentle romance. 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' review 'The Times of India' gave the film three stars, praising some parts while pointing out its flaws. The review reads, 'A theatre artiste on a solo trip to Mussoorie, blindfolded for over two weeks and relying entirely on a stranger she hasn't even seen, does stretch believability. Jahaan hides his impairment from Saba, finding in her company a rare sense of normalcy, free from pity or preconceived sympathy.' The review went on to say, 'The premise is offbeat, and if one looks past the implausibility, director Santosh Singh and writer Mansi Bagla 's film unfolds as a feel-good romance set against the serene beauty of Mussoorie in the first half. There are several light-hearted moments and poetic lines, but not all the comedy lands, and the narrative occasionally becomes repetitive.'

Who was Bollywood's first graduate heroine? Worked with Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, was the first film star to endorse…, her name is…
The film industry has been a place where many prefer to leave their education to become actors. We have come across many actors who hold PhDs, Master's Degrees, and Doctor's degrees before entering the world of cinema. Many had quit their profession to become successful actors. Right from Sai Pallavi to Sreeleela, many of them may know that these divas are doctors. Many such divas possessed such prestigious designations before they became huge stars. However, today we will tell you about Bollywood's first actress to complete her graduation. You'll be surprised to know her name? Who was the first Bollywood actress to complete her graduation? The actress whom we are talking about inspired many people during her era. Bollywood's first heroine to complete her graduation was none other than Leela Chitnis. During her early days, Leela ventured into the film industry when the roles of heroines were limited. The divas were featured in the films to either attract the audience with their beauty or to portray emotional depth in demanding scenes. However, when Leela Chitnis entered Bollywood, she changed the dynamics of the roles offered to heroines. How did Leela Chitnis's education have an impact on Hindi cinema? Leela was the first actress to shatter such taboos of films, and it was through her that the Hindi cinema saw an image of an educated, self-reliant and sensitive woman for the first time. In her autobiography, 'Chanderi Duniyat', Leela revealed how she adapted to situations over time. Even before the great heroines like Nirupa Roy or Sulochana, Leela Chitnis was delegated to play the role of a compassionate mother on screen. Due to which she was honoured with the title of 'Duchess of Depression' and the first graceful mother of Hindi cinema. Leela Chitnis was graciously presented on screen, her impact was such that the audience sitting on the other side of the room was swept away by her performance. Leela never gave up a moment to leave a lasting impression on the people; her roles were such finely played that the audience stood in awe of her. Not only that, Leela nailed the role of sacrifice and human dignity. Did Leela Chitnis transform her personality after becoming famous? Leela Chitnis remained a down-to-earth person, despite her immense popularity in Hindi cinema. Leela never transformed herself. However, during her last years, Leela lived in an old-age home in America. Leela started living a life where there was no camera around her, and she died alone in the darkness of anonymity. How did Leela end up becoming a heroine? In her autobiography, 'Chanderi Duniyat' it mentions every detail about Leela Chitnis. Starting from her birth, family, her first meeting with her husband in college. She was born on 9 September 1909 in Dharwad (present-day Karnataka) in a Marathi Brahmin family. Her father was an English professor, and this family environment made her conscious of education. Leela Chitnis was married at a young age. She went abroad with her doctor husband. She gave birth to four sons. Later, when she got divorced from her husband, she returned to Mumbai. After coming to Mumbai, Leela again started working in a school. But she had the responsibility of four children, and it was difficult to make ends meet. It was during such times that she started Marathi theatre. Through her plays and films, she raised questions on casteism, the status of women, and social pressures. Did Leela fail as a director and producer? Despite this, Leela made her presence felt as an extra in films, and she struggled and became an actress. Then came films like 'Kangan', 'Bandhan', 'Jhoola', where she appeared as a modern, self-reliant woman opposite Ashok Kumar. In the films of that time, her character spoke, thought, and fought. This was a new heroine who was showing a mirror to society by going beyond flowers and saris. Many may not know this, but Leela tried her luck in directing and producing films; eventually, she failed at it.
