Directed by Anurag Basu and featuring an ensemble cast, the film appears to have outperformed expectations despite stiff competition. Interestingly, it has even edged ahead of Maa, the horror film starring Kajol, which many expected to draw large crowds due to the current popularity of the horror genre.

"Interestingly, Anurag Basu‘s film has already registered 60% sales of the total BMS sales on the opening day. The relationship drama registered 81.66K on the opening day on BMS."

Along with ticket sales, the film also recorded stronger audience turnout in theaters across the country.

The morning occupancy on day 3 is better than day 2, which registered only 11.6% occupancy on a Saturday morning! Meanwhile, the film opened on Friday, with a morning occupancy of almost 8.9%."

With steady weekend growth, Metro In Dino seems poised for a solid first-week performance. While final numbers are still being calculated, the upward trend hints at the film carving out a strong place in the hearts of cinema-goers.
