‘Metro... In Dino' Box Office collection day 4: Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta starrer inches closer to the Rs 20 crore mark
's new film 'Metro... In Dino' has made a decent mark at the box office in its first four days. Starring a crowd of popular actors like , , , Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, , Ali Fazal and Fatima Sana Shaikh, the film opened in cinemas on 4 July. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This musical drama dives into love and relationships in today's busy city life. A modern twist on urban love 'Metro... In Dino' is called a spiritual sequel to Anurag Basu's 2007 film 'Life... In A Metro'. Back then, Basu explored how love and heartbreak play out in crowded city streets. Now, he returns with fresh stories, following four new couples as they face their own ups and downs. Interestingly, Konkona Sen Sharma is the only actor from the original film who has come back for this new chapter. The rest of the cast brings a mix of fresh faces and seasoned stars who help paint a lively picture of love in the modern age. Box office numbers so far The film had a fair start at the box office, picking up more pace over the weekend. On its first day (Friday), 'Metro... In Dino' earned around Rs 3.5 crore. Saturday saw a jump to Rs 6 crore, and Sunday went even higher at Rs 7.25 crore, taking advantage of the weekend crowd. However, like many films, it faced a dip on its first Monday. Early estimates by Sacnilk show the movie collected Rs 2.5 crore on day 4. This brings its total collection in India to Rs 19.25 crore. Here's a quick breakdown of its day-wise collections: Day 1 (Friday): Rs 3.5 crore Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 6 crore Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 7.25 crore Day 4 (Monday): Rs 2.5 crore (early estimates) Total: Rs 19.25 crore Music that touches the heart Pritam has worked his magic once again by giving the film soulful songs. Just like he did with 'Life... Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In A Metro', his music this time lifts every emotion in the story. It adds an extra layer to the scenes of joy, confusion and heartbreak, helping the audience connect even more deeply. Critics weigh in on the box office run Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh spoke about why the numbers could have been higher. According to him, while the film did well over the weekend, it lost out on some business because of tough competition. He shared on Twitter, 'Metro In Dino shows encouraging trends over the weekend, clearly indicating that its target audience – urban centres – has responded positively to the film... However, the weekend total remains on the lower side. ' The film minted Rs 16.58 crore net over its opening weekend. Adarsh added, 'The weekend numbers could've been stronger in an open run, but the presence of two major #Hollywood films – 'Jurassic World Rebirth' and 'F1 The Movie' – along with the steady performance of the holdover title 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has resulted in a division of business.' He also pointed out that the coming weekdays are going to be very important for the film. 'Metro In Dino needs to hold steady at Friday levels [or thereabouts] to register a healthy total,' he said. 'Metro... In Dino' review The Times of India, in its review, highlighted that while the film is quite pleasant, some parts felt a bit scattered. The review 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. " But they also praised the movie for doing something Bollywood has missed recently. '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."

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar co-star Sara Arjun once played alongside Salman Khan in Jai Ho; take a look
Ranveer Singh, 40, might be leading the charge in the upcoming action thriller Dhurandhar, but all eyes are on his co-star Sara Arjun — and for good reason. The 18-year-old actor, who will be seen sharing the screen with Ranveer for the first time, isn't exactly a newcomer. In fact, she's acted opposite another Bollywood giant, Salman Khan, long before Dhurandhar was even imagined. Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun and Salman Khan Yes, you read that right. Sara Arjun played the role of a schoolgirl in Jai Ho (2014), featuring Salman Khan in the lead. At the time, she was only a child, but already making waves in both Bollywood and the South film industries. Now, over a decade later, she's back in the spotlight, and this time, she's the leading lady. From child prodigy to pan-India performer Born on June 18, 2005, Sara Arjun is the daughter of actor Raj Arjun, known for Secret Superstar. By the time she was six, Sara had already starred in over 100 commercials. Her big break came in the Tamil film Deiva Thirumagal (2011), where she played the daughter of a mentally challenged father. She then went on to deliver powerful performances in Saivam (2014), Ek Thi Daayan (2013), Chithirayil Nilachoru (2013), and the acclaimed anthology Sillu Karuppatti (2019). More recently, audiences saw her portraying a younger version of Aishwarya Rai's character in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan 2 (2023). Dhurandhar: A big debut (again) Directed by Aditya Dhar (Uri: The Surgical Strike), Dhurandhar is being touted as one of the biggest action spectacles of 2025. Unveiled by Jio Studios and B62 Studios on Ranveer Singh's birthday, the film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. The high-octane first look is set to a pulsating soundtrack by Shashwat, featuring vocals by Jasmine Sandlas and a special collaboration with genre-blending artist Hanumankind. But while the film's visuals are grabbing attention, so is the casting. Sara's pairing with Ranveer Singh — who is nearly 20 years her senior — has raised eyebrows online. Some netizens have expressed surprise at the age gap, sparking a familiar conversation in Bollywood about onscreen pairings.

Step away Prada, make way for Pharrell Williams as Desi ambassador
Mumbai: In the midst of the Prada-Kolhapuri chappal furore, the recent Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2026 show has been lauded for taking Indian inspiration through a truly global fashion route. Pharrell Williams , LV Men's creative director, turned his seven-day India visit in March-to New Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur-into an immersive fashion moment at Paris's Centre Pompidou on June 24. From a Snakes & Ladders-themed runway conceptualised by architect Bijoy Jain to collaborating with music legend AR Rahman for the show's soundtrack, and a collection steeped in Indian craftsmanship , LV's show was all about respect and strategy. Every collaborator was acknowledged and credited. Dubai-based fashion writer Sujata Assomull, who tracks India's impact on the global luxury landscape, says that the message here was clear: India is no longer the distant muse or the luxury world's afterthought. "The Louis Vuitton show with Pharrell has been one of the most positive moves by a European house to talk about India's important role in global material culture," says Assomull. It's in stark contrast to the Prada-Kolhapuri controversy, where the fashion house has faced backlash for not giving credit where it's due. Gayatri Khanna, who is the chief executive of Milaaya Embroideries-an atelier headquartered in Mumbai but with offices in New York, Paris, Milan and London - has been talking about a Made in India tag. The company caters to several luxury houses across the globe. Hermes now puts the Made in India' tag on its ponchos, scarves and rugs. "When powerhouses like Louis Vuitton and Dior spotlight their Indian collaborators and inspirations, they don't just set a trend, but they help shift an entire industry's mindset," says Khanna. She calls Williams's show as significant for its visual homage to India and for publicly crediting the Indian artisans and ateliers involved. Brands like Dior have begun to understand this. Its collaboration with the Chanakya School of Craft in Mumbai signalled a celebration of Indian embroidery, as well as the community behind them, evident in their 2023 pre-fall show in Mumbai. Luxury brands have been wooing Indian customers, with Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin and even Valentino launching special edits. Gucci released limited edition 'Made for India' capsule collections back in 2011, the same year that Hermes released 28 saris for this market. Jean Paul Gaultier showed his love affair with India during his 2017 show at Paris Haute Couture Week, where he presented sari-inspired drapes. The recent inspiration was Alia Bhatt's Gucci lehenga-sari that she wore to Cannes this year. Williams, meanwhile, loves India. That was evident as he walked at the end of the show in track shorts and sweats, hands folded in a namaste to acknowledge the applause. Aptly called 'Paris to India', Williams was inspired by "the multifaceted sensibilities of present-day Indian sartorialism". The LV creative head said he was inspired by India's "colours". "You'll see turmeric. You'll see cinnamon. You'll see 'coffee indigo' denim," he told the fashion journal WWD backstage. For years, India's storied craftsmanship remained uncredited-often seen only as a workshop or as an exotic muse. But now, economic growth, digital adoption, younger clientele, growing appetite for luxury and an assertive consumer are powering it. India's luxury market, currently estimated at $17 billion, is forecast to reach $85 billion by 2030. Reliance Brands, with international luxury brands like Zegna, Canali, Tiffany & Co, Valentino, Tod's, Versace and Bottega Veneta, feels that the Indian consumer is no longer a passive recipient-they're informed and co-authoring the luxury narrative. An RBL spokesperson told ET: "Every detail of the LV show reflected a genuine intent to engage, not appropriate. And that's largely because Pharrell visited India; he listened, observed, absorbed nuance, and it showed. Cultural fluency like that isn't drawn from a mood board; it comes from true immersion."
