Metro In Dino Day 5 India Box Office: Anurag Basu's movie sees a slight surge in bookings courtesy 'Discount Tuesday'; Adds Rs 2.75 crore net

Metro... In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu and starring Ali Fazal, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Nina Gupta, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma and others, saw a 10 percent growth in its collections on day 5, from Monday, courtesy 'Discount Tuesday', where tickets are priced in the Rs 99 - 149 vicinity for the standard version. With Rs 2.75 crore net on Tuesday, the 5 day total of the movie in India, stands at Rs 21 crore. The Day Wise Net India Collections Of Dino Are As Under Dino Is Heading For A Rs 25 Crore Net Week 1; While It Is Low, The Trend Is Steady, Indicating Niche Level Acceptance Dino's week 1 is heading towards the Rs 25 crore mark, a low number for a film made at a budget of Rs 85 crore excluding p&a. However, it is the strong trend of the movie that will hopefully help it sustain in the metros. The competition in week 2 gets fierce with Superman, Maalik and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan flooding the marketplace. If the film manages a similar 2nd Friday as 1st Thursday, it will be on its way to net around Rs 45 crore net in India in its full run. If the drop on 2nd Friday is drastic, it may struggle to net even Rs 40 crore, and finish in the same range as Kajol's Maa. Dino Requires Atleast Rs 55 Crore Net In India To Breakeven Metro... In Dino requires atleast Rs 55 crore net in India to ensure that the movie breaks even. This number looks like a task at the moment but the niche acceptance of the movie has ensured that even in the worst case, the loss from the film won't be as much as it could have been, had the movie been rejected. Dino In Theatres After Dino, Anurag Basu gears up for the next and final schedule of his untitled next with Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela. While you wait for that movie, you can watch Dino in theatres. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more box office updates.

In Dino. Metro in Dino box office update The latest update points out that Metro in Dino collected ₹ 2.9 crore in its first Tuesday in theatres. It is slightly higher than the earnings of Monday, thus projecting a growth in numbers. On Monday, the film earned ₹ 2.5 crore. The film concluded its opening weekend with a total of ₹16.17 crore. So far, the overall collections stand at ₹ 22.15 crore. Given the positive word of mouth that the film is receiving on social media, it will be interesting to see whether the film is able to hold its momentum in the weekdays and show growth in its second weekend. The film is facing stiff competition from a big Hollywood release, Jurassic World: Rebirth. Next week, another big-budget Hollywood release, Superman, will hit screens. About the film The musical romantic drama is a spiritual sequel to Life in a Metro, and brings together multiple stories of modern-day couples through its ensemble cast, featuring Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. Produced by T-Series Films and Anurag Basu Productions, the film earned particular praise for its musical score which has been composed by Pritam. Konkona ensured that Metro In Dino had a moment which served as a nod to the iconic role played by the late Irrfan Khan in the original. In an interaction with HT, Konkona said she made the suggestion "because it is such a goofy kind of character", quite similar to Irrfan's character from the 2007 original. Director Basu clarified, 'The character is very different, though. Just the name is the same.'
