Box Office: Metro In Dino emerges surprise success of 2025; Headed for a Rs 50 crore finish in India
According to early trends, Metro In Dino is showcasing an 80 percent spike in business on the second Saturday, with estimates in the range of Rs 4.00 crore. This could go higher too, depending on the walk-ins for evening and night shows. There will be another surge on Sunday, and the second weekend business is expected to be around the Rs 11.25 crore mark, which will be a nominal dip of just 30 percent from the first weekend.
The trend so far indicates appreciation in the urban markets, and the film is looking at a healthy run even post the second weekend. What looked like a sub-30 crore finish on first-day, is now poised for a Rs 50 crore lifetime in India. The 9-day total of Metro In Dino stands at Rs 31.50 crore, and it's looking to stand around the Rs 36 crore mark at the end of second weekend. The film is a surprise success of 2025, as not a lot was expected from it due to the changing dynamics of cinema in the post-Covid world.
The good news is also in the fact that audiences are stepping out to consume non-event films on the big screen, and the summer of 2025 has played a big role in changing the tide. The industry was struggling as the mid-level successes had disappeared and the last 4 months has seen plenty of them in the form of Jaat, Kesari 2, Raid 2, Sitaare Zameen Par, and now, Metro In Dino. Even Maa had put up reasonable numbers over the weekend upon its release.
Metro In Dino will end up being an Average/Semi Hit film depending on the lifetime business, but the second Saturday growth has confirmed the 'SUCCESS' tag for the romantic comedy. The film has done the best business in urban markets, and this audience has carried the film to a reasonable number to emerge a success story despite higher costs.
For those unaware, the film features Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkana Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Shaikh in lead roles.
Metro In Dino Day Wise Box Office Collections:
Week One: Rs 25.25 crore
2nd Friday: Rs 2.25 crore
2nd Saturday: Rs 4.00 crore (Expected)
Total: Rs 31.50 crore

Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 update shared by director Kabir Khan; reveals details about script
A decade after the release of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, one of Bollywood's most beloved films, director Kabir Khan has confirmed that discussions are actively taking place regarding a potential sequel. While excitement among fans continues to grow, both Kabir and Salman Khan remain cautious, prioritising a powerful script over commercial motivations. Kabir Khan revealed in an interview with Pinkvilla that he and Salman have been engaging in frequent conversations about various story ideas, including a follow-up to Bajrangi Bhaijaan. However, he clarified that the decision to move forward with Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 would not be influenced by public demand or box office prospects. Their shared view is that the sequel must offer something equally meaningful and emotionally resonant as the original, which struck a chord with audiences worldwide. No Rush to Capitalise on Film's Legacy Addressing the growing speculation around the sequel, Kabir stated that he has never leaned into the trend of making sequels and does not intend to approach Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 as just another franchise opportunity. He admitted that while there is immense potential for joy in returning to that world, it has to be done for the right reasons. The goal, according to him, is not to chase numbers but to honour the heart and soul of the original film. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Kabir also acknowledged the risk of tarnishing the legacy of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which is often hailed as one of the most emotionally impactful films of recent times. For that reason, he and Salman are committed to waiting until they discover a story that holds the same depth and power. What Could the Sequel Explore? While no script has been locked yet, Kabir hinted at possibilities such as a new journey for Salman Khan's character Pawan or even an evolution in the story of Chand Nawab, originally played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Themes like cross-border friendship, human connection, and faith—core to the original—are expected to remain central if a sequel is made. Some fans have speculated about revisiting Munni, the mute girl from Pakistan, possibly as a teenager. A Strong Collaborative History Kabir Khan and Salman Khan have previously collaborated on Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), and Tubelight (2017). Although their past work has seen varying degrees of success, Kabir has consistently acknowledged Salman's significant influence on his career. Despite Tubelight receiving mixed reviews, their partnership remains strong. Most recently, Kabir directed Chandu Champion, featuring Kartik Aaryan, which performed moderately well at the box office. Currently, he is exploring multiple concepts, any of which could become his next directorial venture. As Bajrangi Bhaijaan approaches its 10th anniversary on July 17, fans are hopeful for a sequel. But Kabir Khan remains firm that the film will only be made if the right story comes along—even if that takes a year or more.
