Get ready, Bollywood lovers, because Anurag Basu’s much-anticipated romantic musical drama, Metro In Dino, has finally graced the silver screen! Since its release on Friday, July 4, 2025, this film has been stealing hearts and earning rave reviews from both audiences and critics alike. As a spiritual successor to the beloved 2007 hit Life In A Metro, this new chapter is already making waves, proving that some stories are just meant to be retold with even more masala!
Remember the magic of the original Life In A Metro? Even today, when it airs on TV, it brings a smile to our faces, reminding us of its timeless appeal and fantastic ensemble cast. Well, Metro In Dino has already surpassed its predecessor’s entire lifetime box office collection in just three short days—talk about a dhamaka! The weekend buzz is always exciting, but as any true Bollywood fan knows, the real test of a film’s staying power begins on Monday. So, how did Metro In Dino fare over its opening weekend, and what can we expect as the weekdays kick in?
According to box office tracker Sacnilk, Metro In Dino started its journey with a collection of ₹3.5 crore on its opening day. But fueled by positive word-of-mouth and glowing reviews, it saw a massive jump of 71.43% on its second day, raking in ₹6 crore! And as expected, Sunday proved to be a golden day for the film, with collections soaring to ₹7.25 crore, a 20.83% increase from Saturday. This brings its glorious three-day total to a whopping ₹16.75 crore! It’s clear that audiences are loving the fresh narrative and the soulful tunes.

The Sunday shows were buzzing with excitement! Morning shows had a decent 15.98% occupancy, but as the day progressed, the numbers climbed dramatically. Afternoon shows hit 46.62%, while evening shows peaked at an impressive 57.4% occupancy. Even the late-night screenings held strong with 39.27% occupancy. A major reason behind this success is undoubtedly the stellar cast, including Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Pankaj Tripathi. Their performances are truly being lauded by audiences, adding layers of depth and emotion to this vibrant tale of city life and love.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing for Metro In Dino! This Friday also saw the release of another cinematic powerhouse: Jurassic World Rebirth. We all know how much Indian audiences adore dinosaur spectacles, and this one is proving to be a formidable competitor. Jurassic World Rebirth roared into the box office, collecting ₹15.75 crore on its third day, bringing its total to an impressive ₹38.25 crore in just three days. That’s a significant difference of 128.36% between the two films’ opening weekend collections! It’s a true David vs. Goliath situation at the box office, making the Monday test even more crucial for Metro In Dino.
Despite the tough competition, Metro In Dino has already achieved a remarkable feat: it has surpassed the lifetime collection of its predecessor, Life In A Metro (which ended its theatrical run with ₹15.83 crore in India), in just three days! That’s right, three days! Early estimates suggest that Metro In Dino could comfortably cross the ₹20 crore mark by the end of its first week. This truly signifies a strong start for Basu’s latest creation. Can it maintain this momentum and emerge victorious in the coming days? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Bollywood’s love affair with the city’s chaotic yet charming rhythms continues!
