Metro In Dino box office prediction day 1: Anurag Basu's romantic drama may earn only Rs 3 crore
Metro In Dino box office prediction day 1: Metro In Dino, one of the most eagerly awaited films of the month, hit the screens on July 4 much to the delight of fans. It garnered attention with its trailer and songs. This, however, may not be enough to help the romantic drama pack a punch at the box office. 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.

Maaman box office verdict: Soori's Tamil family drama earns 60% more than Vidhuthalai 2, trade analyst reveals if it's a hit
Maaman box office verdict: Maaman, starring Soori, hit the screens on May 16 and opened to a good response at the box office. It also received decent reviews with critics lauding the performances and the theme. However, some felt that the treatment could have been better. The family drama has now completed its run in theatres and the verdict is out. Maaman becomes a hit Soori has been constantly experimenting with his reel image. The actor, who essayed comic roles in the initial phase of his career, has added a new dimension to his Kollywood innings with Maamam. According to Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst, the family drama has emerged as a hit. 'Maamam has grossed Rs 40 crore in Tamil Nadu. The film is a hit,' he told Indiatimes. The film has outperformed Viduthalai 2, Soori's last major release. The action drama grossed Rs 25 crore in Tamil Nadu and ended up being a disappointment. It received mixed reviews, which prevented it from reaching the standards set by the first part. Maamam beat DD Next Level at the box office Maamam was released alongside DD Next Level. Many in the industry expected the Santhanam-led flick to dominate Maamam. This, however, did not happen. Maamam held its own against DD Next Level and stunted its prospects. The horror comedy earned nearly 19 crore in Tamil Nadu during its full run. According to Ramesh Bala, Maamam benefited from the family elements. 'The title is an emotional one. It means mother's brother. For most families, especially the women, the brother sentiment is very strong. Women here love there brothers just like there are specific festivals like Bhai Dooj in the North,' he said. Soori has been experimenting with his image of late. The actor, who was once typecast in comedy roles, surprised many with his portrayal of a policeman in Viduthalai. He also left fans asking for more with his work in Garudan (2024). The same year, he was seen with Vijay Sethupathi in Viduthalai 2. The fact that Soori has now established himself as a 'serious' performer too worked in Maamam's favour. What's Maaman about? Maaman centres on the events that take place when Inba, the protagonist, faces problems in his marriage because of his sister's son. His strong bond with his nephew, who can't stand his wife, adds a new layer to his worries. Maaaman features Soori and Aishwarya Lekshmi in the lead.
