Box office details
'Metro... In Dino' had a slow start
The film's overall occupancy rate on the first day stood at 17.99%, with night shows leading the surge at 31.09%. It was released on over 1,200 screens across the country, with most of the audience coming from multiplexes in Tier 1 cities. The real test will be its performance over the weekend and whether it can sustain growth based on positive word-of-mouth.

Audience response
The film seems to be resonating well with audiences
The film seems to be resonating well with urban audiences, particularly those who enjoy slice-of-life stories. The multi-generational cast, including Neena Gupta, Konkona Sen Sharma, and Ali Fazal, has also added to its appeal. The music by Pritam has also played a major role in attracting viewers. The project is a spiritual sequel to Basu's Life...in a Metro.
