How much have Dhadak 2 and Metro In Dino earned at the box office?

Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri starrer Dhadak 2 is reportedly made on a budget of ₹40+ crore. However, the box office performance of the film is not up to the mark. In less than a week of its release, Dhadak 2 has minted ₹15.62 crore in India. This earning of the film is in six days, which is very low.

In fact, the day-wise numbers are struggling to stay above the ₹1 crore mark. The fact that the figures have dipped to such low levels in a week is not a good sign. With the big scale release of War 2 and its complete takeover of cinema halls on August 14, Dhadak 2 will be taken down from the cinema halls before it even has the chance to recover its budget. The limited appeal of the movie's storyline, based on caste struggles, is one of the reasons whey Dhadak 2 has not been able to work at the ticket window.

Metro In Dino has minted over ₹50 crore in its lifetime run

Metro In Dino has minted ₹53 crore in India and ₹63 crore worldwide. In six days, Metro In Dino had collected ₹24.6 crore, which is more than Dhadak 2. However, the romance film has turned out to be average grosser at best. 

In all, while Saiyaara has become a ₹500 crore global grosser worldwide, both Dhadak 2 and Metro In Dino have not been able to match its biz.
