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
Metro In Dino box office collection day 3: Anurag Basu's star-studded romantic musical drama received mixed reviews, but has been growing well at the box office. According to the early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, it collected Rs 7.25 crore on day 3, taking its entire net box office numbers to Rs 16.75 crore. The weekend and positive word of mouth have given a slight push to the earnings as it stood at Rs 6 crore on Saturday. The film has also surpassed the total net collection of its first installment Life In A Metro (2007), starring late actor Irrfan. 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. ALSO READ | With Metro… In Dino, Anurag Basu defies box office logic as he makes yet another mad, messy musical 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 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.
