Decoding The Economics Of Metro In Dino: Anurag Basu's ensemble recovers a substantial amount BUT there's work still to be done
Metro... In Dino's Total Costs Are Rs 100 Crore Including Print & Publicity
Metro...In Dino has a cost of production of Rs 85 crore and another Rs 15 crore has gone into the publicity and advertising of the movie. This brings the total cost of the movie to Rs 100 crore. The film was sactioned at Rs 65 crore but it went overbudget by Rs 20 crore. The total costs include a very nominal fee for director Anurag Basu, who acts as a co-producer on the film.
Metro... In Dino has recovered Rs 70 Crore From Non-Theatrical Revenue Sources
Talking about the pre-release revenues, the movie has already been sold to Netflix for a sum of Rs 40 crore. The music rights have been assumed to be Rs 15 crore and that's quite conservative for a music album that has the potential to grow on people. The satellite rights of the movie remain unsold at the time of this article, but it is safe to assume the movie will manage around Rs 15 crore if not more. The total revenues of Metro... In Dino before release, stand at Rs 70 crore, meaning the movie needs atleast Rs 30 crore of global theatrical share to breakeven.
The Economics Of Metro... In Dino Is As Under
How Much Metro... In Dino Requires To Breakeven?
A Rs 30 crore theatrical share would require the movie to gross Rs 75 crore or more, globally. This may not be a steep figure, but in the current market scenario, it is. We have seen relatively bigger films like Deva and Baby John fall flat at the box office. Metro... In Dino, being a much nicher film, will require its target audience to really turn up to the theatres because its profitability depends on it. Ideally, a film like Metro... In Dino should be completely safe before release but that's sadly, not the case.
Metro... In Dino Has Stiff Theatrical Competitors
Metro... In Dino locks horns with Jurassic World: Rebirth; and there are strong holdover releases like Sitaare Zameen Par and F1, apart from an average runner like Maa, already fighting for screens. Not just that, it has three new stiff rivals in the form of Superman, Maalik and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan in its immediate next week. Of these films, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan targets the same gentry audience but the other films will eat into its screens if it doesn't get acceptance.
Anurag Basu Has Another Release After Metro... In Dino, Already Stacked
Director Anurag Basu has had a mixed theatrical track record. While Barfi! was a bonafied superhit, Jagga Jasoos was a disaster. Ludo did well digitally and now it is over to Metro... In Dino to really turn it on at the box office. The busy director has his next release already stacked. Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela's untitled next is nearing completion. It has been announced for Diwali 2025 but it is unclear if the film will make the cut.
Metro... In Dino In Theatres On 4th July, 2025
Regardless, the focus for now is on Metro... In Dino, which releases in theatres on 4th July, 2025. We wish the director and his team, the very best.

Mohammed Shami ordered to pay Rs 4 lakh in alimony to wife and daughter after court verdict
On July 2, 2025, the Calcutta High Court directed star pacer Mohammed Shami to pay Rs 1.5 lakh per month to his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, and Rs 2.5 lakh to their daughter, Aaira, totaling Rs 4 lakh in interim maintenance. The judgment, delivered by Justice Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, comes after a long-drawn-out divorce battle that began in 2018 when Jahan accused Shami of domestic violence and neglect. The court recognised Jahan's lack of personal income, as she was forced to abandon her modelling career. Aaira's educational needs were also acknowledged, and a significant change was made to the alimony amount as the earlier district court order had set maintenance to be far lower. Long-running legal struggle Shami and Jahan married in April 2014 and had their daughter Aaira in 2015. Their separation in 2018 triggered allegations under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, alongside claims of dowry harassment and financial negligence, as per The Hindu. Jahan's maintenance plea initially sought Rs 7 lakh for herself and Rs 3 lakh for Aaira, but the sessions court granted just Rs 50,000 and Rs 80,000 respectively in 2023. This prompted her appeal to the High Court, where she argued that Shami had compelled her to quit modelling, leaving her with no means of support, according to NDTV Sports. She stated to ANI, 'I used to model and act before I got married. That was enough for me then. Shami forced me to quit my profession. He wanted me to live only a housewife's life.' She also explains that, at the time, she loved him enough to accept his wish. Bench's reasoning: What did the Judge say? According to Bar and Bench, Justice Mukherjee emphasized Shami's substantial earnings and the standard of living Jahan and Aaira had during the marriage. 'The petitioner wife… is entitled to a levelled maintenance that she enjoyed during her continuance of marriage and which reasonably secures her future as well as the future of the child,' he noted. The ruling also grants Shami's daughter, Aaira, additional voluntary assistance for education of over Rs 2.5 lakh. The High Court has instructed the trial court to 'dispose of the main application of the interim order within six months,' as per Jahan's lawyer Imtiaz Ahmed.
