Anurag Basu's "Metro... In Dino," starring a large ensemble cast including Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sara Ali Khan, has shown promising growth at the box office following its release. After a quiet start on Friday, the film picked up steam on its second day, Saturday, drawing audiences with its interwoven storylines and exploration of modern relationships.

Early estimates suggest the film earned ₹6 crore on Saturday, bringing its domestic total to ₹9.5 crore. Some reports indicate even higher figures, with collections ranging between ₹6.5 to ₹7 crore on Saturday, leading to a total of ₹10-11 crore for the first two days. This represents a significant jump from the opening day collection of ₹3.5 crore, signaling positive word-of-mouth and growing interest, particularly in urban centers.

The film witnessed an increase in footfall throughout Saturday, with evening and night shows driving the surge. The Hindi 2D version had an average occupancy of 32.20%, with evening and night shows clocking in at nearly 39% and 47% respectively. Cities like Pune, NCR, and Mumbai showed the best performance, with Pune's night shows reaching 55% occupancy. Bengaluru and Hyderabad also showed good occupancy rates.

"Metro... In Dino" brings together several parallel storylines, a format Basu has successfully explored before. The film delves into the complexities of urban relationships, dealing with love, loss, and redemption in a relatable manner. Konkona Sen Sharma noted that different age groups will be able to connect with different aspects of love portrayed in the film. Critics note the film carries the stamp of Anurag's previous works like Barfi, Jagga Jasoos and Ludo in terms of storytelling.

The film's music, composed by Pritam Chakraborty, has been particularly praised, with some reviewers noting that it is the best part of the film and that it defines the film. The songs are catchy and fit well with the scenes.

While some reviews have pointed out uneven storylines and a stretched second half, the film's overall performance indicates that it is finding its audience. Some critics have noted that the film tries to cram in too many themes, and ends up feeling superficial. Despite mixed reviews, "Metro... In Dino" aims to reach ₹15 crore by the end of its opening weekend. The film has already earned almost 70% of the total lifetime collection of its predecessor, "Life In A Metro," in just two days. "Life In A Metro" earned a total of ₹15.63 crore in its lifetime.

The film faces competition from other releases, including "Maa", "Sitaare Zameen Par", "F1", and "Jurassic World: Rebirth".
