TL;DR: Anurag Basu’s much-anticipated musical-romantic anthology Metro… In Dino has earned roughly ₹24–24.5 crore in its first six days, adding ₹2.25 cr on Wednesday. With weekday numbers the lowest yet, competition from Sitaare Zameen Par and Hollywood giants (Jurassic World Rebirth, F1) is biting. Still, the film may just scrape ₹25 cr in its first week—solid, but slightly underwhelming for a film with Pritam’s tunes and a star-studded ensemble.
🎭 What's Up at the Box Office?
Day 6 haul: ₹2.25 cr net on Wednesday—lowest daily so far.
Total so far: Around ₹24.5 cr net in India after six days. Some trade sources estimate slightly lower ₹22.25 cr figure, citing stiff competition.
Opening weekend: ₹3.5 cr (Fri), ₹6 cr (Sat), ₹7.25 cr (Sun) = ~₹16.75 cr.
🎶 Reasons Behind the Dip
Heavy competition: Sitaare Zameen Par still strong, along with Hollywood imports like Jurassic World Rebirth and F1: The Movie.
Midweek slump: Occupancy slipped into single digits in morning showtimes.
🌟 Perks & Potential
The film’s music-led plot and A-list cast continue to draw audiences. Ensemble performance praised across reviews.
It may hit the ₹25 cr milestone by end of week—still a respectable feat for a non-blockbuster format.
🎥 What’s Inside the Film
A spiritual sequel to Life in a… Metro (2007) featuring four love stories from Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bangalore, tied by chance and emotion.
Ensemble cast includes Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, and more.
Pritam’s soundtrack—songs like “Zamaana Lage” & “Aur Mohabbat Kitni Karoon”—are central. Critics love the melody, though pacing criticism persists.
🗣 What Audience & Critics Think
Hindi press notes it’s a solid mid-week hold with strong ensemble and music.
Analysts predict it could surpass Maa (₹33 cr) over its run if it holds steady.
📌 Should You Watch It?
Yes, if you love heartfelt anthologies, meaningful music, and a powerhouse cast. 🎶❤️
No, if you're after mass entertainers or high-octane budget spectacles. 💥🎇
✊ MediaFx People’s Perspective
From the people’s viewpoint, Metro… In Dino stands for real love and emotional honesty, not overblown heroism. 💪 It’s a film of “working-class” hearts where everyday struggles and dreams take center stage. Though the box office dip shows the system favors big-budget and Hollywood giants, this movie proves stories rooted in common life still matter. Let’s keep supporting films that speak to our souls—not just our wallets. 🎬✨
