After Jagga Jasoos' disastrous box office log, Ranbir Kapoor cuts down fees for Anurag Basu's Rs 130 crore budget film
Ranbir Kapoor and Anurag Basu share a great bond. The duo have worked on two movies- Barfi and Jagga Jasoos. While their maiden project together was a success and was even sent to the Academy Awards from India, the latter couldn't lure the audience into cinemas and ended up being a box-office failure. Basu, who is currently on a promotional spree for his latest movie, Metro…In Dino has opened up about the failure of Jagga Jasoos. Anurag Basu states that all his movies recover their budget In a recent chat with Galatta Plus, Anurag Basu noted that all his films have been financially successful. That's the first thing he assures the producer whenever starting a new project. Although the movie might not have performed well at the box office, they recovered their production costs from non-theatrical deals and subsidies. Talking about the same, Anurag Basu said, "It (budget) is always covered. None of my producers will complain about that. So, I know this is the budget I should play with. Metro is made on a modest budget because I knew this is an ensemble cast, no big stars. That I am very conscious about. And the industry is very ruthless". Anurag Basu reveals how he and Ranbir Kapoor slashed their fees after Jagga Jasoos' failure Anurag Basu went on to reveal that he and Ranbir Kapoor had slashed their fees so that producers wouldn't bear the loss for the box office failure of Jagga Jasoos. "Jagga didn't make a lot of money, but we were just quite there. Ranbir took less money. He cut down his fees, I cut down my fees—all of us. Because we were passionate about the project, we were not running behind money. But we made sure that we cut down on our fees so that the producer doesn't suffer. Because it was our vision, our project," Basu concluded. For the unversed, Jagga Jasoos was mounted on a big budget of Rs 131 crore. It opened with just Rs 8.21 crore and ended its theatrical run with a net of Rs 52.60 crore at the Indian box office. The Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif starrer was a big box-office disaster. Although it was planned as a trilogy, the plans never continued further, as the first movie itself bombed. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 2: Aditya Roy Kapur-Sara Ali Khan's Film Sees Growth
New Delhi: Filmmaker Anurag Basu's latest release, Metro In Dino, is slowly gaining momentum at the box office. What's Happening After a modest start with Rs 3.04 crore on its opening day, Metro In Dino showed growth on its first Saturday, collecting Rs 6.33 crore. This takes the film's total earnings to Rs 9.5 crore so far. The romantic drama features an ensemble cast that includes Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and Ali Fazal. On Saturday, the film saw a better turnout, especially during evening and night shows, with average occupancy touching 47% during the night. 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.

It's not really that there's a moral or message to love; it's just relatability. It's just life showing we all go through this; you are not alone.'
