Metro In Dino box office collection Day 1: Anurag Basu's musical earns only one-third of Jurassic World Rebirth in India, mints Rs 3.35 cr
The overall occupancy on first day stood at 17.99%, with morning shows recording a modest 8.64%. Attendance steadily picked up during the day, with afternoon and evening shows hitting 14.24% and 17.99% respectively, and peaking at 31.09% during the night shows. Surprisingly, major markets like Delhi-NCR and Mumbai lagged, with occupancies at just 19.25% and 19.50%.
While the opening day numbers are higher than Basu's earlier film Life in a Metro, which debuted with Rs 87 lakh in 2007 and eventually earned approximately Rs 24 crore globally, Metro In Dino falls well short when compared to some of his more recent work. His last theatrical release, Jagga Jasoos, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif, opened to Rs 8.57 crore, which at the time was itself considered a tepid start. The new film has also underperformed compared to Sara Ali Khan's last theatrical outing Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, which opened at Rs 5.49 crore.

Adding to its challenges, Metro… In Dino is facing stiff competition at the box office. Jurassic World Rebirth had a strong debut with Rs 9 crore on its opening day and is expected to maintain momentum. Meanwhile, films from the previous week continue to hold ground: Kajol's Maa earned Rs 1 crore on Day 8, while Brad Pitt's high-octane F1 collected Rs 3.50 crore on its eighth day and remains a popular choice among viewers. Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, now in its third week, is also going well as it grossed a staggering Rs 137 crore in wop weeks.
With 2025 entering its second half, Metro In Dino marks another lukewarm box office entry in what has been a mixed year for Bollywood. Only Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava has earned blockbuster status so far, grossing Rs 585 crore. Raid 2 trails far behind with Rs 173 crore, while Sitaare Zameen Par is poised to join the list of top performers if it sustains its current pace. Still, the year is shaping up to be another blend of fewer hits and more misses.
Metro In Dino does have a few things working in its favour: an already popular soundtrack and relatively positive word-of-mouth. But its true test lies ahead. As per a report by Pinkvilla, the film was made on a budget of Rs 100 crore, Rs 85 crore for production and Rs 15 crore for advertising. Given its underwhelming start, Metro In Dino will need a strong weekend and sustained weekday momentum to recover its costs and make a meaningful impact at the box office.

Riteish Deshmukh says 'you can't avoid camera' after Alia Bhatt-Ranbir Kapoor request paparazzi not to click Raha
Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza are undoubtedly one of the most beloved couples in the entertainment industry. Recently, several celebrities, including Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, as well as Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, took steps to shield their children from being photographed, prioritizing their privacy and safety. In contrast, Genelia and Riteish's children are often seen greeting paparazzi with folded hands and are frequently photographed. Riteish Deshmukh says 'camera cannot be avoided' In an interview with Hindustan Times, Riteish Deshmukh discussed how there is no norm on how celebrity parents should manage their children's exposure to the media. He said, "Just because one person does something doesn't mean others have to do the same. I think parents know what's best for their children and they come with a certain thought process. If people feel that they don't want their children to be in the media, it should be respected." Further, the Housefull 5 actor mentioned that avoiding the camera is impossible as their kids are out every day for their sports activities. Riteish shared that when they go and watch their children's matches, they will be clicked by the paparazzi and said, "You cannot avoid it." Deshmukh explained how one has to deal with the camera and shared what he teaches his children. Riteish shared, "The only thing I tell them is that when people click us, it's an honour. When they (paps) ask for pictures, you thank them for clicking and move on. They (kids) also need to understand that when someone comes and clicks you there is a certain work gone behind the need to come to click us. It's important to not make a big deal out of it." Speaking about Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza, the two are among the most popular celeb couple. From their love for each other to the values they have inculcated in their children, fans just adore everything about them. On the professional front, Riteish Deshmukh was recently seen in Housefull 5. Speaking about Genelia, she was seen in Sitaare Zameen Par.
