Anurag Basu’s multi-starrer drama Metro... In Dino, which opened to a decent weekend at the box office, experienced a significant drop in collections on its fourth day (Monday, July 7, 2025). After a strong start, the film’s momentum slowed sharply as weekday audiences thinned.

Key Highlights

•⁠ ⁠The film collected approximately ₹3.5 crore on its opening Friday, followed by ₹6 crore on Saturday, and ₹7.25 crore on Sunday, bringing its three-day total to around ₹16.75 crore net in India.

•⁠ ⁠On Monday, the box office collection dipped drastically to an estimated ₹0.6 crore net, marking a steep fall of over 90% compared to Sunday’s earnings.

•⁠ ⁠Overall Hindi occupancy on Monday was low at about 7.82%, with the highest attendance during morning shows and negligible occupancy in afternoon and evening slots.

•⁠ ⁠Region-wise, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru recorded occupancies around 9-10%, while cities like Chennai and Surat saw minimal to no audience turnout.

•⁠ ⁠The film features an ensemble cast including Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh.

•⁠ ⁠Despite the Monday slowdown, Metro... In Dino’s total India net collection after four days stands around ₹17.35 crore, with the weekend buoyed by positive word-of-mouth and star power.

•⁠ ⁠The sharp drop on Monday raises questions about the film’s sustainability at the box office in the coming weeks, especially amid competition from other releases.

•⁠ ⁠Metro... In Dino’s performance reflects the common trend of films facing weekday dips after strong weekend openings, underscoring the importance of sustained audience engagement.
