Climbing Basu’s Filmography Chart
With its current total, Metro… In Dino has surpassed some of Anurag Basu’s previous outings in terms of box office earnings, now ranking just below his biggest hits:
Top 5 Anurag Basu Films by Box Office:
-
Barfi! – ₹120 crore
-
Jagga Jasoos – ₹53.4 crore
-
Kites – ₹49.3 crore
-
Metro… In Dino – ₹26.84 crore (and counting)
-

While it won’t reach Barfi! territory, the film’s consistent earnings prove that Basu’s unique brand of emotional storytelling still finds takers among today’s audience.
Strong Urban Response Despite Competition
Despite clashing with major international titles like Jurassic World: Rebirth and domestic holdovers such as Sitaare Zameen Par, Metro… In Dino has held its ground, particularly in metropolitan areas like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. Night shows saw occupancy as high as 18%, with the film appealing to a niche but loyal urban demographic.
Audience Reception & Cast Impact
Critics and audiences alike have praised the film’s soulful soundtrack, heartfelt themes, and solid performances. The cast featuring Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fazal, and others has been lauded for their authentic portrayal of modern relationships.
The music by Pritam, especially the title track “In Dino,” continues to gain traction across streaming platforms, adding to the film’s emotional pull.
Looking Ahead
With word-of-mouth continuing to be positive and minimal drop-offs during the weekdays, Metro… In Dino is expected to cross the ₹30 crore mark comfortably by the end of its first week. Its real test will be the second weekend, where it hopes to benefit from the absence of any major Bollywood releases.
Metro… In Dino might not be a runaway blockbuster, but it’s a quiet success story that reaffirms Anurag Basu’s position as a filmmaker with a deep emotional connect with the audience. With a strong ensemble, memorable music, and relatable themes, the film’s current run proves that even in today’s high-octane box office battles, subtle storytelling still has a place.
