Many have called it a sort of spiritual sequel to Basu's popular 2007 film 'Life... In A Metro'. This time, too, he gives us a slice-of-life story that looks at different people and their tangled relationships. The film's box office run started off calm but picked up pace. On day 9, the film's collection saw a big jump.
A decent start at the box office
According to Sacnilk, 'Metro...
Dino' got off to a decent start in cinemas. In its first seven days, the film collected an estimated Rs 26.85 crore in India. On its opening Friday, it made Rs 3.5 crore. Saturday brought in better numbers with Rs 6 crore, and by Sunday, it reached its first peak of Rs 7.25 crore.
As the weekdays rolled in, the film's earnings dipped a little, which is common for most films. Monday saw Rs 2.5 crore, Tuesday grew slightly to Rs 3 crore, followed by Rs 2.35 crore on Wednesday and Rs 2.25 crore on Thursday.

By the end of its first week, the film was close to Rs 27 crore.
Big Saturday boost on day 9
Day 8, which was a Friday again, showed early estimates of Rs 2.25 crore. But on day 9, according to early estimates by Sacnilk, the film saw a surge in collection and minted around Rs 4.65 crore on Saturday. This took its total to an impressive Rs 33.85 crore. This jump on the second Saturday has come as a pleasant surprise and shows that audiences are warming up to the film more and more.
Day 9 occupancy
The occupancy in theatres on Saturday, 12th July, also showed how many people stepped out to watch the film. Overall, 'Metro... In Dino' had a 44.84% Hindi occupancy that day. The morning shows had around 18.63% seats filled. This went up sharply in the afternoon shows to 47.86%. By evening, it was even better at 56.28%, and night shows did the best with 56.59% occupancy.
'Metro... In Dino' review
'The Times of India' gave the film a fair review, pointing out both the good and the not-so-good bits.
The review read, "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.
"
However, the review also praised the film for giving Bollywood something it's been missing lately. It said, "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."

Watched and loved Brad Pitt's 'F1'? Then these thrilling movies and OTT shows will keep you in racing mode
For racing fans, Brad Pitt fans and those in between, the drama "F1" has made its way to theaters. Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, an aging driver enlisted to save a failing team fronted by a young hot shot (Damson Idris). The fast-paced movie aims for authenticity with help from a notable pro: Lewis Hamilton -- the face of Formula One and a seven-time world champion -- advised on technical details and has a producer credit. For those who have seen "F1," and are looking to get their next full-throttle fix, these movies and shows, all available to stream, are worth a spin. 'Grand Prix' (1966) Heralded as the lead car to which all racing films follow, John Frankenheimer's movie broke ground with its innovative use of vehicle-mounted cameras, jarring real-life footage and quick-jump editing (now a staple in the genre). "Grand Prix" throws viewers into the action with first-person driver perspective; the camera cars reached nearly 200 mph during shoots. The film's star, James Garner, drove in every race and even caught fire during a filmed crash. Viewers would be forgiven for fast-forwarding through the sleepy love stories to skip right to the action, which earned "Grand Prix" three Oscars in technical categories. This racing-movie primer checks many boxes: speed, glamour, drama and a slick opening sequence in Monaco, F1's undisputed Valhalla. ( Stream it on Watch TCM. Rent or buy it on major platforms.)

(2011) No documentary captures the heart of Formula One better than "Senna," which won two BAFTAs and masterfully weaves the story of Ayrton Senna da Silva, the Brazilian racer who figures prominently on F1's Mount Rushmore. Including never-before-seen footage from the F1 archive, along with personal footage, the doc follows young Ayrton, seemingly born to race, as he relocates to Europe, battles discrimination and later, battles Formula One itself for driver safety. The model-handsome Senna typified the daring nature of F1 as he quickly became unstoppable in the rain, which can debilitate drivers. His three world championship wins made him a one-word brand and put Brazil on the racing map. Sadly, Senna's determination to keep drivers safe was marked by his own tragic death in a 1994 crash. Poignant and powerful, "Senna" transcends racing as it documents a worldwide icon gone too soon. ( Stream it on Netflix.) 'Rush' (2013) Directed by Ron Howard and written by Peter Morgan ("The Crown"), this big-budget biopic pits the bad-boy British racer James Hunt against the methodical Austrian driver Niki Lauda as they battle during the 1976 F1 season. Chiseled and dripping with '70s-era swag, Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) is a talented scoundrel who clocks racy hookups with nurses, flight attendants and fans as fast as he takes 100-mph curves. Lauda (Daniel Brühl) is Hunt's perfect foil, methodical and almost nerdy. The feisty feud is spirited and at times petty -- until the catastrophic crash that left Lauda badly burned and facially disfigured. Hemsworth and Brühl perfectly portray two impulsive pros who lose it all, but find purpose, mutual respect and their own version of success. ( Rent or buy it on major platforms.) 'Ford v Ferrari' (2019) Another tale of two huge and wildly different real-life personas marks a pivotal partnership in 1960s-era racing. Matt Damon stars as Carroll Shelby (a familiar name to racing fans), a LeMans champion tasked by Ford Motor Co. with beating the juggernaut Ferrari on the international stage. Christian Bale craftily channels Ken Miles, a maniacal British driver who is cast off by the racing companies he infuriates. The strategic Shelby convinces Miles to develop a car for Ford to win the 1966 LeMans race, which will determine the future of Ford Racing and, in many ways, America's standing. Coolheaded Shelby and fiery Miles make for a dynamic duo in this keen depiction of racing's redemption and its costs. Notably, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were once tapped to lead. ( Stream it on Hulu.) 'F1: The Academy' (2025) Short of Danica Patrick, a former American NASCAR and IndyCar driver who's now an F1 broadcaster, Formula One suffers from a dearth of female faces -- despite a passionate female fan base. Eyeing a key demographic, Netflix cannily greenlit the series "F1: The Academy," produced by Hello Sunshine, a company of which Reese Witherspoon is a founder. The reality show stars young, aspiring female racers as they race for a potential F1 berth in a sport dominated by men. F1 Academy, run by its managing director, Susie Wolff, scores points for its diverse roster of hopefuls -- two are of Emirati descent -- and might just showcase the next great female racer. ( Stream it on Netflix.) 'Gran Turismo' (2023) Inspired by the cult-favorite (and driver-favorite) video game, this loose biopic centers on Jann Mardenborough, a young Brit recruited to a program targeting top gamers and transitioning them into actual racers. Orlando Bloom plays the smooth-talking team founder who pairs up with a grizzled American former racer (David Harbour) to run the underdog operation. Harbour's ever-doubtful Jack sees little potential in Jann (Archie Madekwe), but tenderly mentors him after Jann's crash that kills a spectator. Harbour is the true standout playing sensei to the protege. Although the film drifts at times into near promotional fawning for PlayStation, its action redlines into a popcorn pleaser that should leave fans cheering by the checkered flag. ( Stream it on Hulu.) 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive' (2017-present) Netflix has invested heavily in this bingeable reality series that goes behind the scenes with F1's biggest stars. Season 6's "Leap of Faith" episode is a must-watch: In it, Lewis Hamilton mulls his decision to re-sign with Mercedes, his longtime home. Season 7's "In the Heat of the Night" episode follows five of F1's most dynamic, next-gen drivers as they head to Singapore, handing them the camera to document the action. Although it has faced some critique for staged or scripted story lines, "Drive to Survive" is still the definitive F1 reality series, blending blazing cockpit footage with sneak peeks of the glam, pressure and even the mundanity of that F1 life.

Pakistani actress Humaira Asghar death mystery takes new turn as petition alleges murder: Police investigates phone data
The death of Pakistani actress and model Humaira Asghar Ali seems to have taken a new and troubling turn, as police intensify their probe following a petition that labels her death as suspicious. Humaira's decomposed body was discovered on July 8, 2025, in her locked apartment in Karachi's Defence Phase VI, sparking a comprehensive investigation involving digital evidence, forensic audits, and fresh witness statements. Citizen Petition Raises Murder Allegation As per ARY News, the investigation, which initially leaned towards a natural or accidental death, was jolted when a citizen, Shahzaib Sohail, filed a petition in Karachi's City Court. The petition asserts that Humaira was murdered and requests the inclusion of her family in the inquiry. Citing video evidence from the scene and her strained family ties, the petitioner questioned the circumstances under which the actress, known for Tamasha Ghar and Jalaibee, was found dead. The court has since directed the police to treat the matter as a potential criminal case. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dukung Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma: Mulai Di Sini Limfoma Klik Di Sini Undo Police Retrieve Crucial Digital Clues In a significant breakthrough, police have unlocked three mobile phones and a tablet belonging to Humaira using passwords noted in her personal diary. A laptop was also recovered, though access to it remains pending. Investigators are currently reviewing chat logs and other digital footprints from these devices to trace her interactions during her final months. Authorities have also initiated a forensic audit of her bank accounts to identify any irregular financial activity that might hint at foul play. So far, statements have been collected from two individuals. Additionally, police have summoned the apartment building's watchman and cleaning staff, and are gathering information from people associated with Humaira's routine, such as her gym trainer and beauty salon staff. This is part of the effort to reconstruct her life leading up to her death. Officials believe her last known communication was in early October 2024, and her social media presence ceased in September 2024. Autopsy Yields Limited Answers The post-mortem, conducted after the body was found, revealed that Humaira had likely been dead for 8 to 10 months. The remains were partially mummified and skeletal, making it difficult to determine the exact cause of death. Forensic experts have preserved samples for further tests, including toxicology and DNA analysis, in hopes of gaining clearer insights. Due to the state of decomposition, medical authorities have reserved their opinion on the cause of death for now. Interestingly, Humaira's family had not initiated any legal proceedings prior to the discovery of her body. After the post-mortem, her body was transferred to Lahore, where she was buried. Her father, Dr. Asghar Ali, refrained from commenting on the autopsy findings, noting only that the formal process for claiming a body from police custody takes time. A six-member special investigation team, headed by SP Clifton Imran Jakhrani, was set up by Sindh Police to explore all possible scenarios—natural causes, suicide, accident, or murder.

Wimbledon 2025: Prince William and Princess Kate attend final clash between Alcaraz and Sinner
Princess of Wales, Kate, returned to Wimbledon on Sunday, July 13, 2025, along with her husband, Prince William , and their daughter Charlotte to watch the men's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Kate is the patron of the All England Club and was scheduled to present the trophies after the match. On Saturday, she was the only member of her family in the Royal Box for the women's final and gave champion Iga Swiatek her prize after a 6-0, 6-0 victory and offered consoling words to runner-up Amanda Anisimova. They were joined by King Felipe VI of Spain, a number of former Wimbledon champions, and a slew of Hollywood celebrities for the Sunday final. Actors Keira Knightley, Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman, and John Lithgow were all seated in the Royal Box, as was London Mayor Sadiq Khan. In 2024, Kate did not attend the women's final as she was recovering from cancer but was on hand for Alcaraz's win against Novak Djokovic at the All England Club. She has been gradually returning to public duties and recently welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron during a state visit to Britain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Phum Bei: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo In the Wimbledon 2025 final, Sinner and Alcaraz are locking horns just five weeks after they played an epic match to determine the French Open champion. The matchup at Centre Court between the No. 1-ranked Sinner and No. 2 Alcaraz marks the first time the same two men have faced off in the title matches on the clay at Roland-Garros and the grass at the All England Club in the same year since Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal did it in 2006, 2007, and 2008. Alcaraz, a 22-year-old from Spain, defeated Sinner, a 22-year-old from Italy, in five sets spread over 5 hours, 29 minutes in Paris on June 8, coming back from a two-set deficit and saving three match points along the way. That made Alcaraz 5-0 in Grand Slam finals, including victories in 2023 and 2024 at Wimbledon. He also carries a career-best 24-match winning streak into Sunday and has beaten Sinner five times in a row. Live Events Sinner owns three major trophies and is playing in his fourth consecutive Slam final—but first at the All England Club. He won the U.S. Open last September and the Australian Open this January.
