Anurag Basu’s romantic drama Metro… In Dino gets off to a good beginning at the Indian box office. The movie finished its first weekend with a healthy amount of ₹15.75 crore net, reflecting strong word-of-mouth and public interest.

Day-Wise Growth Reflects Healthy Trend

The movie began with ₹3.5 crore on Friday, followed by an impressive 71.43% boost on Saturday, earning ₹6 crore. Sunday also experienced an additional boost, as the movie grossed about ₹6.25 crore. The consistent increase in collections during the weekend indicates robust audience interest, particularly in urban areas and multiplexes.

Occupancy Gains Reflect Growing Interest

On July 6, Sunday, the movie had a total Hindi occupancy of 39.91% with evident momentum gaining strength all day long. Morning shows averaged 15.98% occupancy, which rose to 46.62% in the afternoons and reached 57.14% in evening shows an evident sign of positive reception.

Performs Better Than Prequel

Metro… In Dino has already surpassed its inspirational predecessor, Life… In A Metro (2007), which made only ₹3.48 crore on its opening weekend. This sequel’s better start indicates a possibly longer and more profitable streak.

Critics Laud the Movie’s Heartwarming Storytelling

The movie has been praised by critics for its realistic take on contemporary relationships. News18’s review touted the film as “a masterclass on modern-day love,” noting numbers such as “Zamaana Lage,” “Dil Ka Kya,” and “Mann Ye Mera” as the standout musical numbers. The movie has been credited as one of the genuine collaborations between director Anurag Basu and composer Pritam.

With multiplex and word-of-mouth strengths, Metro… In Dino is likely to be one of the year’s surprise pack.
