Metro In Dino box office collection day 3: Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan's film beats Life In A Metro's lifetime collection, inches closer to Rs 20 cr
On its first Sunday, the film had an overall 39.75% Hindi occupancy at the theatres, with morning shows at 15.98%, afternoon shows at 46.62%, evening at 57.14%, and night shows standing at 39.27%. The highest theatre occupancy was in the Chennai region at 78.50%.
The first part Life In A Metro's total net collection was Rs 15.63 crore and worldwide gross collection stood at Rs 24.15 crore. While the film received critical acclaim and eventually increased theatre footfall with the positive word of mouth, it still didn't end up becoming a blockbuster hit. The spiritual sequel easily beat the first instalment's box office numbers in the first week itself.

Metro In Dino is also facing stiff competition by other clash of releases at the theatres. Indian films such as Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 148.8 cr) Kajol's Maa (Rs 31.6 cr), and Vishnu Manchu starrer Kannappa (Rs 31.84 cr) are also raking numbers. Hollywood movies, including Brad Pitt's F1 and Scarlett Johanson's Jurassic World: Rebirth are also bringing audiences to the theatres. However, Anurag Basu's film is standing a strong ground between other releases.
An excerpt from SCREEN's review of Metro..In Dino read, 'What I really enjoyed in the film were the nimble writerly leaps and the people speaking to each other as people do, in sentences which feel as if they are coming from the character's lives, rather than rehearsed dialogues on the page. Things do slacken post-interval; a couple of crucial situations repeat themselves, and the film strains to fill its nearly three hour length. A few characters in this large ensemble do not get enough play: in a truly great film, even walk-ons have flash, even if they were always meant to be on the sidelines.'
Besides Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur, the Anurag Basu film also stars Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh in lead roles, and Saswata Chatterjee, Darshana Bainik, Kush Jotwani, and Rohan Gurbaxani in key roles.

After Kareena Kapoor, Neena Gupta Calls Out Prada For Copying Indian Kolhapuri Chappals
Mumbai: After Kareena Kapoor, veteran actress Neena Gupta took to social media to call out luxury brand Prada for allegedly copying the traditional Kolhapuri chappal design. Taking to Instagram, the 'Metro In Dino' actress posted a video where she flaunted a handmade pair of Kolhapuris gifted to her by the late Laxmikant Berde. In the clip, Gupta could be heard saying, 'So, these Kolhapur slippers are in great demand these days. So, once I did something with Laxmikant Berde. I don't remember what it was. So, I asked him, can you get me these slippers from Kolhapur? He said, yes. So, he got them for me. This is the most beautiful slippers I have ever had. Most beautiful and handmade. I love them. Thank you Laxmikant. You are not there anymore, but love you.' She simply captioned the video, 'Real is real.' In the clip, Neena Gupta is seen walking while wearing Kolhapuri chappals. On July 6, Kareena Kapoor took to social media to call out luxury fashion brand Prada. She shared a photo of herself wearing her original Kolhapuri chappals, subtly taking a dig at the brand. Posting the image on her Instagram Stories, Bebo flaunted the footwear and captioned it, 'Sorry not Prada…but my OG Kolhapuri.' Prada recently faced backlash for showcasing a pair of sandals that looked very similar to India's traditional Kolhapuri chappals without giving proper credit to their Indian origin. The luxury brand introduced the sandals as 'Toe Ring Sandals' during their Men's Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show in Milan on June 22. Many noticed that the design was almost identical to Kolhapuri chappals, but Prada presented it under its own label without clearly acknowledging the Indian roots of the design. Following this, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed in the Bombay High Court. The petition demanded compensation for the Indian artisans who make Kolhapuri chappals, claiming their designs were copied without recognition.

Apoorva Mukhija, aka Rebel Kid, says she never struggled in Mumbai, YouTube paid for 2 BHK apartment: ‘I earned my annual salary in a month from Instagram'
Another day, another round of playful banter! Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan is back with another episode of fun, this time featuring YouTuber and influencer Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as The Rebel Kid. Known for her fearless opinions and recent appearance on Amazon Prime Video's reality show The Traitors, Apoorva has been in the spotlight ever since her name came up during a controversy involving comedian Samay Raina and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia. In her latest vlog, Farah welcomed Apoorva into her home. Farah's long-time house help and fan-favourite, Dilip, greeted Apoorva with a cheeky house tour. In typical Dilip style, he jokingly referred to Farah's place as a 'gareeb ka ghar,' which left Farah wide-eyed and laughing. The vlog started with an excited Dilip rebelling against his employer to create the hype for their newest guest. As the conversation flowed, Apoorva opened up about her journey from growing up in Kurukshetra, moving to Noida, and finally settling in Mumbai at 21. When Farah asked if she had struggled in Mumbai, Apoorva replied honestly, 'Not really. I always lived in a 2 BHK here.' Curious, Farah asked, 'So your dad helped you with rent?' Apoorva quickly responded, 'No, I did it all by myself.' Impressed, Farah gave her a high-five. Apoorva added, 'Aapko toh pata hi hai, YouTube se kitne paise aate hai (You already know how much YouTube pays.)'

That success gave her the courage to quit and focus full-time on content creation. She also mentioned that both the Netflix film Nadaaniyan and reality web show The Traitors were shot before the controversy broke out. 'After that, no one's offered me work. You're the first one to invite me home,' she told Farah. Some time later, when they headed to the kitchen to cook Afghani eggs, a conversation made Apoorva confess, 'Mere paas driver nahi hai, gaadi nahi hai, ghar nahi hai. (I don't have a car, driver or even a house)' Apoorva was made to vacate the house after the Samay Raina controversy. Currently, she is living on rent in a different location. That's when Farah turned to Dilip, who earlier called her abode 'gareeb ka ghar' and said, 'See how rich we are! This is the first time we're saying that. Usually, we keep saying hum log kitne gareeb hai (We are so poor)!' Recently reports of Apoorva earning in crores surfaced online. One such post caught The Rebel Kid's attention who took to her Instagram Stories to clear the air. The post read: 'According to Business Today, Apoorva Mukhija makes Rs 2.5 lakh every single day, and with her savage online alter ego 'Kaleshi Aurat', she's built a Rs 41 crore empire, charging up to Rs 6 lakh for a reel and Rs 2 lakh for a 20-second story.' Reacting to the claims, Apoorva wrote: 'Galat hai bhai? (This is wrong?)' Earlier, in an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Apoorva spoke about the buzz around her income. She said, 'I am everywhere, but my net worth is not even close to ₹41 crore. I'm not even making one-tenth of that. These clothes are rented. I have to return them after this. My heels are dirty, nails are fake, and my watch — which is ₹20,000 –is the most expensive thing I'm wearing.' She added, 'If I ever make ₹10 crore, I'll retire. Someone take me there. Give me money!'

This female star beat Robert Downey Jr, Tom Hanks to become Hollywood's highest grossing lead actor, boasts of lifetime box office gross of $14.8 billion
Out of the five highest grossing lead actors in Hollywood history, four have been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These include Samuel L Jackson, Robert Downey Jr, and Chris Pratt, who played Nick Fury, Iron Man aka Tony Stark, and Star Lord aka Peter Quill in the MCU. Now, the fourth actor has surpassed all of them to become the highest grossing lead actor of Hollywood with a lifetime box office gross of $14.8 billion (₹126,895 crores) so far. The actor in question is Scarlett Johansson, who plays Black Widow aka Natasha Romanoff in the MCU. As per the trade portal The Numbers, the lion's share of the $14.8 billion figure belongs to Scarlett's MCU movies — The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019) — which add up to $8.7 billion (Rs 746 crore). Other films that add to her lifetime gross include MCU's Iron Man 2 (2010), and the two-part Sing animated franchise (2016, 2021) by Universal Pictures, to which she lent her voice. But it's her latest release that's helped push her total past the previous record holder, Samuel L Jackson. Gareth Edwards' sci-fi action adventure film Jurassic World Rebirth has amassed $318 billion over its extended opening weekend globally. Jackson previously held the record at $14.6 billion, with his voice role in Pixar's two Incredibles films (2004, 2018) also included. Third in line is Robert Downey Jr at $14.2 billion, out of which yet again, the lion's share at $11.8 billion (Rs 1,180 crore) belonging to the nine MCU films he's appeared in, from Iron Man (2008) to Avengers: Endgame. Downey returns to the MCU as Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday (2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027), which would help him challenge the newly established #1 lifetime box office gross of his MCU co-star Scarlett. She's assumed to be dead in the MCU, and has confirmed she won't return post her final appearance in the 2021 spin-off Black Widow. Scarlett has replaced MCU co-star Chris Pratt in the new Jurassic World instalment. The Universal Pictures release, directed by Gareth Edwards, opened on Wednesday and earned $147.3 million in its first five days in 4,308 North American theaters. An estimated $91.5 million of that comes from the traditional 'three day' weekend, which includes the Friday holiday, Saturday and projected Sunday ticket sales.

According to the studio, $41.5 million of that came from China alone, where it played on 65,000 screens, 760 of which were IMAX. It's the country's biggest MPA (Motion Picture Association) opening of the year. Rebirth, also starring Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey, is the fourth movie in the Jurassic World series and the seventh since Steven Spielberg's original Michael Crichton adaptation stormed theatres in the summer of 1993.
