Metro In Dino Faces Box Office Struggles

Anurag Basu's 'Metro In Dino,' featuring a star-studded cast, has received positive critical reviews and favorable word-of-mouth, particularly for its music and performances. The film had a modest start but grew over the weekend, collecting approximately ₹19.25 crore by day 4 and passing ₹20 crore by day 5. Despite this growth, the movie is underperforming relative to its ₹85 crore budget and struggling to sustain momentum due to competition from new releases like Sitaare Zameen Par and Hollywood's Jurassic World: Rebirth. Analysts note that while 'Metro In Dino' has outperformed Basu's previous film 'Life In A Metro,' its earnings remain lackluster for a film of this scale. The film's future success depends on its weekday performance and potential resurgence in the second weekend. Its urban romantic storytelling and evocative settings have been praised, but its long-term box office outlook is still uncertain.
