Metro In Dino Box Office Day 2: Anurag Basu's Film Picks Up Steam, Mints Rs 6.33 Crore
Metro In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu, saw a significant rise in box office collections on its second day, earning Rs 6.33 crore.
Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 2: Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino is slowly but surely finding its rhythm at the box office. After a modest start, the film saw a healthy jump on its first Saturday, collecting Rs 6.33 crore, according to early estimates by Sacnilk. Backed by a stellar ensemble including the likes of Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and Ali Fazal, the romantic drama had opened in theatres to a decent start, earning Rs 3.04 crore on Day 1 at the box office.
Metro In Dino's first-day collection marked a 300 per cent improvement over Basu's 2007 sleeper hit Life In A Metro, which had opened at just Rs 80 lakh. However, it slowly gained momentum through word of mouth and eventually ended up with a lifetime domestic collection of over Rs 24 crore. The film is like a follow-up to Life In A Metro and tells four connected love stories, showing how people deal with relationships in today's world across different cities.
As per early estimates, Metro In Dino saw a solid jump in numbers on its second day, collecting Rs 6.33 crore on Saturday. This takes the film's total to Rs 9.83 crore so far. The romantic drama had opened at Rs 3.5 crore on Friday but seems to be picking up pace with strong weekend support.
When it comes to occupancy, Metro In Dino recorded an overall 27.18 per cent occupancy in Hindi on Saturday. The morning shows had a slow start with just 11.65 per cent footfall, but things picked up in the afternoon with 30.95 per cent, and the evening shows saw a further rise with 38.95 per cent footfall. The romantic drama hit theatres on July 4.
Metro In Dino has been praised for its nuanced take on love and commitment. An excerpt from News18's review states, 'It's not every day that we get to see a Bollywood love story written with so much heart, maturity, intensity, intimacy and subtlety. Metro In Dino is a masterclass on modern-day love. It's for the lonely, for the ones who won in love and then lost some. It's as much Anurag's film as Pritam's. Zamaana Lage, Dil Ka Kya, and Mann Ye Mera stand out particularly. Rush to the cinemas now!"

BTS' V, Jungkook could attend Sojang defamation case hearing: Reports
BTS members V and Jungkook might attend Soojang defamation case. (Credit: Instagram/thv) India Today Entertainment Desk The Seoul court scheduled a mediation settlement session for July 21 Sojang was ordered to pay 76 million KRW in damages for defaming BTS members BTS confirmed their long-awaited reunion during a July 1 Weverse livestream BTS members V and Jungkook's ongoing defamation case against controversial YouTuber Sojang has taken a fresh turn, with the court now urging both parties to consider a possible settlement. According to a July 3 report by Korean media outlet Star Today , the Seoul court has scheduled a court-mediated session between the parties, which may require the K-pop stars to appear in person. The session, set for July 21 at 9:40 AM KST (6:10 AM IST), replaces the previously planned full trial. It aims to facilitate a mutual agreement, following a June 16 decision by a higher court to shift the case towards a settlement format. While it remains unclear whether V and Jungkook will be required to attend, reports suggest their personal presence may be necessary, unlike previous hearings. The settlement session, directed by the court, is designed to help both sides reach a mutually acceptable resolution. Under Article 28 of the South Korean Civil Procedure Act, such a settlement, if agreed upon, would carry the same legal effect as a final court ruling. This development comes months after Sojang, who runs the YouTube channel Taldeok Camp , was found guilty in February 2025 of uploading 23 defamatory videos between October 2021 and June 2023. The Seoul Western District Court's 12th Civil Division ordered her to pay 76 million KRW (approx. Rs 47 lakh) in damages. Of this amount, V was awarded 10 million KRW (approx. Rs 6 lakh), Jungkook received 15 million KRW (approx Rs 9.3 lakh), and BTS' agency BIGHIT MUSIC was granted 51 million KRW (approx Rs 31 lakh). This figure was adjusted from the original 90 million (approx 56 lakh) KRW sought in the January 2025 lawsuit. The legal update comes shortly after BTS confirmed their long-awaited reunion during a Weverse livestream on July 1. As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle , the group's return marks the end of a hiatus lasting over three years, intensifying global excitement over what lies ahead for the band.

Smriti Irani back as Tulsi in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi reboot: Here's how much she's charging per episode
Smriti Irani's fees for KSBKBT: The iconic daily soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is making a grand return with a reboot, and fans are thrilled to see Smriti Irani step back into the role of Tulsi Virani. The show's first look dropped online recently, sparking excitement and a wave of nostalgia among viewers who grew up watching the original. Let's take a closer look at Smriti Irani's comeback, her emotional message, the show's return, and her jaw-dropping fees per episode. Smriti Irani as Tulsi: The Character That Became a National Emotion Smriti Irani, who played Tulsi in the original series, quickly became a household name in the early 2000s. Her portrayal of Tulsi—an ideal daughter-in-law, a strong mother, and a symbol of Indian family values—won millions of hearts. Now, after more than 20 years, she's returning in the same role for the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Reboot. Speaking about her return, Smriti Irani shared an emotional note, saying, 'Tulsi wasn't just a character. She became a daughter, a mother, and a reflection of many women's strength and sacrifices.' She also said that even after the show ended, people continued to call her Tulsi instead of her real name. That connection with the audience, she said, 'isn't written – it's a blessing.' Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Reboot: What to Expect The Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Reboot is a limited series with 150 episodes. It is set to air on Star Plus starting 29 July 2025 at 10:30 PM. Along with Smriti Irani, many of the original cast members are also returning, making the show even more special for long-time fans. When the first look was shared online, social media went wild. Fans filled the comments section with love, expressing how emotional and excited they felt about Tulsi's return. Smriti Irani's Fees: Now the Highest-Paid Actress on Indian Television Smriti Irani's return as Tulsi has not just made headlines for nostalgia, but also for her fees. According to a report by DNA India, Smriti is now charging a whopping Rs 14 lakh per episode, making her the highest-paid actress on Indian TV. This fee even surpasses that of Rupali Ganguly, who reportedly earned Rs 3 lakh per episode for her popular show Anupamaa, also aired on Star Plus. Smriti's comeback has clearly set a new benchmark in the industry. Smriti Irani Opens Up About Pay Gap and Gender Roles in TV Industry During her appearance on We The Women with Karan Johar, Smriti Irani discussed the challenges she faced as a female lead in television. She reflected on a time when gender pay gap and financial equity were not openly discussed. She added that her role as Tulsi helped break barriers—not just in terms of viewership, but also in showing the strength of a woman's character on prime-time television. Tulsi's Return Is More Than Just a Comeback—It's an Emotion Smriti Irani concluded her note with heartfelt words: 'Tulsi returns not just as a character, but as a memory, a feeling that never left. In today's world, where stories come and go, this return is an invitation to pause and feel again.' Her message shows how deeply she values the connection Tulsi had with Indian families. Is Smriti Irani Leaving Politics for Acting? In a recent chat with NDTV, Smriti Irani made it clear that although she's excited to return as Tulsi Virani, her main priority is still her political work. 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi is just a side project,' she said, showing her strong commitment to politics over acting. Irani joined politics around 20 years ago and is now an important leader in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). She described her return to acting as something she's doing part-time, much like other politicians who manage more than one role. Irani added, 'I may be the most recognised face among them, but I'm a full-time politician and a part-time actor.' Her comments show how she's managing both her political duties and her love for acting. With the Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Reboot, Smriti Irani is bringing back one of television's most loved characters. Her return as Tulsi, along with her record-breaking fees, proves that timeless roles and strong storytelling never go out of style. As fans count down the days to July 29, one thing is clear—Tulsi is not just back on screen, she's back in everyone's hearts.
