Anurag Basu’s musical romantic drama Metro… In Dino maintains its steady run at the Indian box office. Starring an impressive cast of actors Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, and Neena Gupta the film has collected Rs 2.25 crore on its opening Wednesday, taking its 6-day total to Rs 24.50 crore, reports Sacnilk.com.
The movie will reach the Rs 25 crore mark at the end of its first week. Although its figures might seem small against recent blockbusters, it’s a significant feat for a movie that came out with minimal pre-release hype and tough competition from Jurassic World: Rebirth, featuring Scarlett Johansson. Metro… In Dino began on Rs 3.5 crore and wrapped up its opening weekend at Rs 16.17 crore, indicating good audience interest.
Upcoming Releases Can Affect Collections
The momentum of the film may be challenged this weekend with three big releases: Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (featuring Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey), Maalik (with RajKummar Rao), and the Hollywood blockbuster Superman (starring David Corenswet).
