Metro In Dino box office collection day 1: Anurag Basu film opens 300% higher than Life in a Metro, earns ₹3 crore
Metro in Dino box office update
The report states that Metro in Dino has collected an opening day figure of ₹3.04 crore, as per early estimates. The number may appear small if compared with some of the big Bollywood releases of recent times but is a good achievement for a film of this scale and genre. Romantic dramas do not take big openings in India. For instance, Life in a Metro, the 2007 sleeper hit, opened at just ₹80 lakh upon release. However, it built on its word of mouth to end up with a lifetime domestic collection of over ₹24 crore. Basu would hope that Metro In Dino can do something similar. Given the positive reviews the film has received, there are high chances of a positive word of mouth.
About Metro in Dino
The film revolves around four couples navigating the ups and downs of love and commitment in different cities.. The music has been composed by Pritam. It is the spiritual sequel to Life... In A Metro (2007), which was also directed by Anurag Basu, and starred Irrfan. Only Konkona from the main cast has returned for the sequel.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, 'The film is an anthology, all connected by the thread of love, in different forms, at different ages. Falling in love with another person, falling in love with the same person again and again (that's marriage, as someone quips)... It's tough to pin down the plot neatly. Perhaps that's the point. One character rediscovers love in his wife, another reconnects with an old flame, while a third couple grapples with the conundrum: life or passion?'

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 3: Anurag Basu movie earnings soar 18%, inches closer to ₹20 crore mark
Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 3: Anurag Basu's romantic drama found it difficult to cross ₹ 10 crore mark at the domestic box office despite registering an 18 percent uptick in collection on Sunday, July 6. The filmmaker, who marked his return to the film industry after a hiatus of eight years, is finding it hard to impress the audience with the heartfelt narrative of four couples in a contemporary setting. Notably, this relationship drama has crossed the entire lifetime earnings of its prequel — 'Life In A Metro,' which collected ₹ 15.63 crore at the box office, Koimoi reported. Released on May 11, 2007, it missed the hit mark by a very small margin but proved to be a successful film. According to film industry tracker Sacnilk, the movie did a business of ₹ 7.08 crore net in India on its first Sunday, July 10. Wrapping up the weekend with a total collection of ₹ 16.58 crore net, the Bollywood movie witnessed 39.75 percent Hindi occupancy on Sunday. On Saturday, the film saw 71.43 percent increase in earnings and raked in ₹ 6 crore net. On its opening day, July 4, the movie collected ₹ 3.5 crore net. Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel in a post on X stated, '#MetroInDino continues its struggle on Day 2 - adding just ₹ 2.30 Cr over a dismal Friday ( ₹ 3.20 Cr nett) to collect a flat ₹ 5.50 Cr. A ₹ 10 Cr Saturday was the bare minimum for a respectable weekend total, but the film falls way short yet again.' At the worldwide box office, the Sara Ali Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma starrer collected ₹ 12.40 crore gross in 2 days, Sacnilk reported. A total of ₹ 1 crore gross came from overseas earnings.
