“It Was Never About Scale, But Story” – Source on Metro In Dino’s Modest Budget

Anurag Basu’s Metro… In Dino is quietly emerging as one of the most talked-about releases of the season. Telling the story of four couples grappling with love, loss, and life in the modern world, the film is winning hearts with its honest, slice-of-life narrative.

A source closely associated with the project revealed:

“The film was made on a surprisingly lean budget, around ₹40 crores went into production, with an additional ₹7 crores allocated for print and advertising.”

“It was never about creating something grand. From the beginning, the idea was to keep it rooted and relatable, a film that reflects real people and emotions.”

Backed by strong word-of-mouth and tight budgeting, the film is on track to becoming a potential sleeper hit.
