Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 1: Aditya Roy Kapur-Sara Ali Khan's Film Off To A Slow Start
Anurag Basu's latest officering Metro In Dino, a spiritual successor to his 2007 film Life in a... Metro hit theatres on Friday.
What's Happening
Metro In Dino explores themes of urban relationships, heartbreak, and love, and features a notable cast including Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sara Ali Khan.
Despite the star-studded cast and anticipation around the film, Metro In Dino opened to a slow start.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 3.35 crore on its opening day.
The overall occupancy stood at 17.99%, with morning shows recording a modest 8.64%. Attendance gradually increased throughout the day, with afternoon and evening shows at 14.24% and 17.99%, and peaking at 31.09% during the night shows.
Key markets like Delhi-NCR and Mumbai saw occupancies of 19.25% and 19.50%, respectively.
Background
While the opening day numbers are higher than Anurag Basu's 2007 film Life in a... Metro, which earned Rs 87 lakh on its first day, Metro In Dino has not matched the opening figures of his later work. Basu's last theatrical release Jagga Jasoos, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, opened with Rs 8.57 crore. The current film has also underperformed when compared to Sara Ali Khan's last release Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, which had an opening of Rs 5.49 crore.
Metro In Dino is also facing stiff competition at the box office. Jurassic World Rebirth opened strongly with Rs 9 crore and continues to attract audiences. Films from previous weeks are still holding well-Kajol's Maa earned Rs 1 crore on Day 8, Brad Pitt's F1 collected Rs 3.50 crore on its eighth day, and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has already earned Rs 137 crore in two weeks.
The film comes at a time when Bollywood has seen a mixed first half of 2025. Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava remains the only major blockbuster with a gross of Rs 585 crore. Raid 2 has made Rs 173 crore, while Sitaare Zameen Par could soon join the top performers if it maintains its current pace.
As per Pinkvilla, the film has been made on a budget of Rs 100 crore, including Rs 85 crore for production and Rs 15 crore for marketing.

'Maa' box office collections day 9: Kajol starrer sees modest growth; Collects Rs 29.25 Cr in India
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Kajol's horror film 'Maa' continues its steady journey at the box office. After earning Rs 1 crore on its second Friday, the film saw a mild but welcoming boost on Day 9, collecting around ₹1.75 crore, based on early estimates by the Sacnilk website. Now the total collections stand at Rs 29.25 crore in India. Directed with emotional depth and backed by strong performances delivered by Kajol, Ronit Roy, and Indraneil Sengupta, 'Maa' has connected with a niche audience. Though not a mass-market blockbuster, the film has carved out a quiet space with its sensitive storytelling and grounded themes. Occupancy Grows Through the Day Saturday's overall Hindi occupancy stood at 22.07%, but the numbers rose gradually through the day. Morning shows were sparse at just 7.73%. By evening, occupancy had climbed to 26.37%, and night shows touched 32.19%. Pune was among the best-performing cities. It had an overall occupancy hitting 30.25%, and night shows reaching 42%. Kajol Reveals Intense Fights With Ajay Devgn During 'Maa', Shares Emotional Truth Mumbai and NCR regions also contributed to the day's total, though footfall remained modest. Slow and Steady as It Nears ₹30 Cr Mark With Sunday still to go, 'Maa' is expected to cross the Rs 30 crore mark by the end of its second weekend. For a mid-budget family drama without big-ticket action or spectacle, that's a good number Maa - Movie review ETimes rated the film with 3 stars and our official review reads, "Kajol delivers a compelling performance as a mother pushed to the edge, balancing vulnerability with fierce resolve. Kherin Sharma and Rupkatha Chakraborty are both impressive as young girls caught in the storm of ancient evil. Ronit Bose Roy lends solid support as the village sarpanch. While it doesn't reinvent the genre, the film delivers a mythologically rooted horror tale that makes for a decent one-time watch. " While its box office graph hasn't seen major spikes, 'Maa' has shown consistency — and in a market crowded with louder releases, that quiet stability counts. Kajol's performance continues to draw praise, and the film is expected to mint more numbers in the coming days.
