Challenges and Competition
Despite a promising opening weekend of ₹16.75 crore, Metro… In Dino has faced challenges in sustaining its box office run. The film, made on a reported budget of ₹100 crore (including ₹85 crore for production and ₹15 crore for marketing), has recovered only about 38.85% of its budget so far, raising concerns about its financial viability. Industry analysts, including posts on X, have labeled the film a “flop,” noting that while it avoided a “disaster” verdict due to a modest hold over its second weekend, it is unlikely to break even.
The film faces stiff competition from other releases, including Hollywood blockbusters like Jurassic World Rebirth (₹9 crore on Day 1) and F1, as well as Bollywood films such as Sitaare Zameen Par (₹137 crore in two weeks) and Maa. New releases like Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan and Maalik on July 11 further intensified competition, impacting Metro… In Dino’s performance in its second week.
Reception and Factors Affecting Performance
Metro… In Dino has received generally positive reviews for its ensemble performances, Pritam’s music, and its exploration of modern urban relationships, though some critics noted pacing issues and uneven storylines in the second half. The Times of India praised it as a “breezy, intimate watch” that fills the gap for love stories in Bollywood, but highlighted that certain narrative tracks, particularly those involving Konkona Sen Sharma and Neena Gupta, could have been deeper.
The film’s performance has been stronger in urban centers like Mumbai, Pune, NCR, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, with multiplexes driving most of its footfall. However, its lack of popular songs, unlike its predecessor Life in a Metro, and limited appeal in non-metro cities have hindered its overall box office potential. Posts on X noted that the film’s ₹99 ticket pricing on Tuesday failed to significantly boost collections, with Tuesday earnings only marginally higher than Monday’s.
Outlook
With a second-week drop and increasing competition, Metro… In Dino is unlikely to surpass the ₹40 crore net mark in India needed to rank among the top 10 highest-grossing Bollywood films of 2025. Its current trajectory suggests a lifetime India net collection below ₹50 crore, far short of recovering its ₹100 crore budget. However, positive word-of-mouth and the film’s appeal to urban audiences may help it maintain modest collections in the coming days.
