The Anurag Basu directed Metro In Dino has seen an upward swing in business in the opening weekend, as the word of mouth in the urban markets started to come into play for the romantic saga. After opening at Rs. 4 crore on Friday, Metro In Dino jumped at Rs. 6.80 crore on Saturday, and Rs. 7.50 crore on Sunday. With this, the three-day total stands at Rs. 18 crore.
The film, as expected, is doing the best business in the urban areas, and the national multiplexes have contributed about 65 percent to the total business. The film needs to show bare minimal drop on Monday, and then hold at similar levels through the week, leading to the second weekend. The weekend trend is encouraging, but the real test for Metro In Dino begins on the weekdays.
The film has a strong ensemble cast, and a situational music album which is drawing the audience to the big screen. If the film holds well in week one, this will end up being a success story in the long run.
