Featuring a star-studded ensemble including Sara Ali Khan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh, the film hit theatres on July 4.

The numbers saw a boost on Saturday with Rs 6 crore, and climbed further on Sunday to Rs 7.25 crore, benefiting from the weekend footfall.

Here’s a quick breakdown of its day-wise collections:

The film is being called a perfect monsoon romantic entertainer. IndiaToday.in gave four stars to the film in its review. A part of the review read, “The beauty of ‘Metro… In Dino’ lies in its setting. Basu doesn’t just tell stories – he stages emotions. Rain drizzles like a soundtrack. Cities breathe in the background. Love unfurls at a bus stop, on a footpath, under a dim streetlight. The mundanity of these locations is what makes them magical.”
