Metro In Dino, starring Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh in key roles, has wrapped up its run after staying in theatres for almost six weeks. While in the last few days, it had almost lost its steam, the arrival of War 2 and Coolie pushed it entirely out of theatres. It couldn’t fetch a big total during its run, but still earned a decent number at the worldwide box office. Keep reading for a closing collection report!

Reception of the film

Directed by Anurag Basu, the Bollywood musical romantic drama was released on July 4, 2025. It opened to mostly positive reviews from critics, and even among the ticket-buying audience, it enjoyed favorable word-of-mouth. Though this positivity helped it make consistent earnings, it couldn’t...

If you are an Indian who spends just enough time on social media, you might have come across the stupid sensationalization around a set of pool pictures posted by Mandira Bedi. The hate comments for uploading pictures with another man within one year of her husband’s demise poured in so profusely that she had to turn off the comments on her post. I don’t intend to serve you with street-side pop-culture gossip, but tell you that it is the 21st century, and we continue to look at widows in a negative light. After all, haven’t popular religious texts suggested that the life of a woman is one half her husband, who, when dead, leaves his widow half dead?

What makes me cruelly angry is that mainstream Indian films have done little to break the oppressive shackles that bind the image of an ideal, respectful widow. Popular Indian films,...

Anurag Basu’s romantic musical drama is a sweet experience that every age group is cherishing on the big screen. Despite the dominance of Saiyaara, which belongs to the same genre, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sara Ali Khan starrer hasn’t given up. It is also withstanding the Mahavatar Narsimha storm and adding moolah. Scroll below for the 5-week update!

Metro In Dino Box Office Collection Day 35

New releases like Dhadak 2 and Son Of Sardaar 2 are dwindling amid strong competition from the aforementioned rivals. As per estimates, Metro In Dino added 44 lakhs to the kitty in its fifth week. It continues to add stable footfalls, although on the lower end.

The overall net collection in India concludes at an estimated 56.12 crores in 35 days. Including taxes, the gross earnings come to 66.22 crores. The run has been commendable so far.

Subhash K Jha looks back at Teree Sang, Satish Kaushik’s film on teen pregnancy that released in 2009, in a new installment of his popular feature series This Day That Year.

This is Raj Kapoor’s Bobby with furtive sex and a baby thrown in for good measure. Otherwise the boy-meets-girl formula never seemed more homage-bound. Soft to the touch, but underpinned by a strong message on sex and the single parent, Teree Sang is a sweet and likable spin on premature parenthood.

The prim ‘n’ propah Rajat Kapoor and Neena Gupta, playing the debutante Sheena Shahabadi’s stiff-upper-lipped parents, could well be the painfully-young Rishi Kapoor’s parents in Bobby-Pran and Sonia Sahni — with their social airs and graces borrowed from a tacky soap on Page 3 mores.

Sonia Sahni had dropped her pallu to show her disdain for motherhood. Neena Gupta doesn’t seem sure of what to drop.

Before The Sachiv Arrived: Why A Panchayat Spin-Off Exploring Pradhan Ji’s Origin Story Makes Perfect Sense (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Like the previous three seasons, Panchayat Season 4 is being widely admired and has become a major success for Amazon Prime Video. The village-set series, often hailed as a modern-day version of Malgudi Days, is loved for its rustic charm, simple storytelling, and relatable characters.

Given the show’s popularity and storytelling potential, now’s the time for the Panchayat universe to expand beyond the current storyline. Here’s a potential spin-off prequel idea that explores an origin story in the same rural setting – a slice of life before the slice!

Have you ever wondered what the village of Phulera was like before the arrival of the current Sachiv (played by Jitendra Kumar)? That very question forms the core idea for a potential Panchayat spinoff-prequel,...

Metro In Dino, starring Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkana Sen Sharma, and others, has underperformed at the Indian box office. Considering the goodwill of its predecessor, the film was expected to do well, but unfortunately, the ticket-buying audience isn’t showing much interest, and the overall collections are underwhelming. On the positive side, it has emerged as Anurag Basu’s 4th highest-grossing film of all time. Keep reading for a detailed report of day 6!

Fails to make it big despite positive reception

Released on July 4, the musical romantic drama received mostly positive reviews from critics. Even among the audience, it fared with favorable reactions, but that didn’t translate to footfalls much. It did grab some attention in the urban centres initially, but failed to generate the required momentum.

Panchayat Season 4(Photo Credit –Facebook)

After a successful three-season run, Panchayat Season 4 is widely admired and has become a major success for Amazon Prime Video. The village-set series, often hailed as a modern-day version of Malgudi Days, is loved for its rustic charm, simple storytelling, and relatable characters. Many fans consider it one of the finest Indian web series of recent times. They are now eagerly waiting for Panchayat Season 5, which is slated to release in 2026.

Should Panchayat Keep Fans Engaged Between Seasons Like Mirzapur?

To fill the long gap between Seasons 4 and 5, should the makers of Panchayat consider trying something bold, just like Mirzapur has planned to do? After Mirzapur Season 3’s record-breaking performance on the streaming platform last year, a feature film adaptation of the series was later announced (via Variety). The Mirzapur movie is slated for a theatrical release in 2026, expanding the franchise beyond the small screen.

When Anurag Basu tells a story, it’s never just a story; it’s an experience that stays with you. Known for weaving raw, heartfelt tales that cut straight to the soul, Basu is back in his element. Much like his unforgettable masterpiece Life in a… Metro, this film promises a series of layered characters, bittersweet moments, and emotions so real, they’ll echo long after the screen fades to black.

Does Anurag Basu’s Metro In Dino Have A Higher IMDb Score Than Life In A Metro? (Photo Credit – YouTube)

Anurag Basu is a talented filmmaker known for directing several critically acclaimed films, including Gangster (starring Kangana Ranaut and Shiney Ahuja), the heartwarming romantic drama Barfi! (with Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra), and the dark comedy crime drama Ludo. And his latest release, Metro In Dino, is now making waves on IMDb.

In today’s Ott era, many viewers are hesitant to watch sequels in theaters— unless they’re star-studded or packed with action and spectacle. So, it wasn’t surprising that some audiences might have initially hesitated about watching a relationship-driven, character-centric spiritual sequel like Metro In Dino in cinemas.

However, defying all expectations, the latest Anurag Basu directorial has surprised IMDb with a fine score. But has it surpassed its predecessor, Life In A Metro (also directed by...

On the opening day, the film managed to register a ticket sale of 81.66K on Bms. It got a tough competition from the two Hollywood releases – Jurrasic World, and F1, apart from Kajol’s Maa!

One of the non-primary storylines in Anurag Basu’s “Metro…In Dino,” a spiritual sequel of his 2007 sleeper hit “Life in a..Metro,” deals with a teenage girl torn between her sexuality. The internet has put her under the pressure of deciding if she likes her girl-best friend, someone she can’t afford to lose, or a young boy that her friend likes. It’s a genuine dilemma – a confusion that I’m sure thousands of young girls and boys go through on a daily basis with little to no understanding of how to deal with it. This story thread places Basu’s new film at the center of aiming higher than just dealing with infidelity, the inability to commit, and finding the right person at the wrong time. However, what we get here is much of the same–old school romance, the changing patterns of loving the same person after falling out of love,...

Metro In Dino vs Life In A Metro Box Office Day 1(Photo Credit –YouTube)

Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, and the team have finally arrived on the big screen with Metro In Dino. The romantic musical has made an underwhelming start in advance bookings. It is heading for a 488% higher opening day than Life In A Metro, but is it good enough? Scroll below for a detailed analysis.

Metro In Dino Advance Booking Day 1

Life In A Metro has a cult-classic following. Metro In Dino trailer was a banger and one expected the buzz to be sky-high. But that was not the case; blame the dull promotions. The spiritual sequel is a romantic musical but there’s not a single track that is a chartbuster so far.

As per the latest update, Metro In Dino has sold around 18K tickets at the national chains, including PVR Inox and Cinepolis.

Some things never change. Pritam and his fellow musicians are still singing and playing on the rooftops of skyscrapers, while down below, the world goes on with its rituals of cute courtship and unnecessary breakups.

Obviously inspired by the mother of all segmented cinema, Love Actually, Anurag Basu tells an uneven but finally satisfying saga of four couples in fractured, incomplete relationships who try to find a middle ground between a compromised relationship and a breakup.

Some of it, especially the track featuring Ali Fazal as a struggling musician and Fatima Sana Sheikh as a his insanely patient pregnant girlfriend, work. Others don’t. C’est la vie!

What works wonderfully for me—though I doubt it will connect with the average viewer—is the musical format. The choreography of some of the musical pieces is exceptional, especially in one performance in a pub where couples sing about how they first met.

It is expected to break Aditya Roy Kapur’s 12-year-old bad spell at the box office. Scroll below for a detailed analysis!

What is Metro In Dino Budget?

As per multiple reports, Metro In Dino is made on a budget of 85 crores. The stakes are high given the strong competition at the box office from Sitaare Zameen Par, Housefull 5, and Maa. In order to achieve the success tag, Aditya Roy Kapur will have to reach the breakeven stage. But if it has to attain the hit verdict, it must earn double the investment, i.e., 170 crores in India.

The village-set series, often called a modern-day version of Malgudi Days, is widely admired for its rustic charm, simple storytelling, and relatable characters. Many fans consider it one of the finest Indian web series of recent times. But if you are under the impression that Panchayat holds the crown as the highest-rated Indian show, think again.

The immensely popular film and TV database portal IMDb houses a list of the Top 250 TV Shows of All Time, featuring critically acclaimed titles from across the globe — from Breaking Bad (top ranked), Chernobyl, and Game of Thrones to Sherlock and Narcos. While Panchayat proudly finds a place on this coveted list, it’s not India’s top entry. Surprisingly, two other Indian series are ranked even higher.
