Is Metro In Dino a hit or flop? As Anurag Basu's musical crosses ₹50 crore, we decode its box office performance
Metro In Dino, Anurag Basu's spiritual successor to Life in a Metro, is running in theatres right now. After its second weekend, the ensemble film has crossed ₹50 crore at the box office worldwide. In the days of ₹500-crore blockbusters, the number may seem small, but it is actually impressive. All one needs to do is understand the scale of Metro In Dino. Metro In Dino stars Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal and Neena Gupta. (PTI Photo)(PTI) Metro In Dino box office collection As of Monday (July 14), Metro In Dino has earned ₹38.50 crore net in India. Its collections over the second weekend are impressive, with a 98% jump on Saturday and a clear hold on Sunday. Despite newer releases taking a lot of Metro's screens over the weekend, the film held its own, registering a healthy 44% occupancy on its second Sunday. Metro In Dino has earned over $600k overseas, taking its worldwide collection to ₹51.50 crore in ten days. Trade analyst and film critic Taran Adarsh said, 'Despite the odds, the film has shown consistency through the weekdays and is headed for a promising second weekend. The footfalls are steady, and that says a lot. What's working is the relatability. Anurag Basu's storytelling has struck a chord. It's one of those rare films where audiences see their own stories unfold on screen.' Metro In Dino budget and landing cost Prior to Metro In Dino's release, several reports had claimed that the film had been made on a budget of ₹85 crore. Speaking with Hindustan Times, Ali Fazal, one of the film's stars, addressed the reports and called the number 'obnoxious' and untrue. A source close to the project told HT exclusively, 'Contrary to what many might assume, Metro In Dino was made on a fairly modest scale with ₹40 crore for production and ₹7 crore for print and advertising. It's a film that relied not on size, but on sincerity and substance.' This means that Metro has already crossed its landing cost with its gross collection. Given the film earned ₹4.65 crore on Sunday, it is likely to make a few crores more and cross the landing cost in net collection as well. Is Metro In Dino a hit or a flop? Metro In Dino is on course to be a box office success. As soon as its net collection crosses its budget (which should happen by next weekend), the film will be a hit. It has already recovered its investments in T-Series through the sale of music, digital, and satellite rights, but box office success will also come its way. Talking about the film's box office performance, Kamal Gianchandani, Chief Business Planning & Strategy at PVR INOX Limited, said, 'Metro In Dino has shown remarkable consistency at the box office. In a competitive landscape, it's encouraging to see audiences returning to cinemas for a film that's driven purely by strong storytelling and emotional depth. The growing happy footfalls at the theatres have increased the business at the box office, and underline the demand for such well-crafted content. Metro In Dino is touted to be one of the successful movies of the year 2025. Bhushan Kumar and Anurag Basu have brought together a film that speaks to the urban audience in a relatable, heartfelt way.' All about Metro In Dino Directed by Anurag Basu and produced by Bhushan Kumar under the T-Series banner, Metro In Dino is a musical containing four interconnected modern-day love stories set in different metropolitan cities. The film stars Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal and Neena Gupta.

Fatima Sana Shaikh On Women Marrying After 30: "The Taboo Is A Little Less Now"
Fatima Sana Shaikh recently shared her thoughts on the evolving societal landscape surrounding marriage. The actress shared that the perceptions around women and marriage after the age of 30 are shifting. While traditional views are still prevalent, there's a growing acceptance of individual choices. Fatima Sana Shaikh Opens Up About Marriage After 30 In an interview with IANS, Fatima Sana Shaikh claimed that society's expectation of an individual to get married by a certain age is far less now than it used to be. Fatima Sana Shaikh said, "It happens, but it's less, I think. Earlier, it used to be more prominent. Now, relationships have changed, the meanings of relationships have changed. A lot more people are okay to be alone or they are concentrating on different things. So, society is accepting that. I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I think the taboo is a little less." Sharing a sweet memory of her first love, Fatima recalled that her then-partner once decorated the path from the door to the room with flowers on her birthday. "There were flowers everywhere, and around the cake, there were candles lit all over," she recalled. However, the surprise didn't go as planned as most of the candles had melted away by the time she arrived. "We had to clean it all up later," the actress said. Fatima described it as a special kind of love that was "simple and sincere." She added, "I was very young and didn't even have Facebook or Instagram back then." About Fatima Sana Shaikh's Work On the work front, Fatima Sana Shaikh starrer Dino is currently running in theatres.
