Box Office: Anurag Basu’s Last Theatrical Success Came 12 Years Ago, Will Metro In Dino Give Him A Much-Needed Comeback?

Metro In Dino, featuring a splendid cast, has finally arrived in theatres today. Being a spiritual sequel to a popular film, Life In A Metro, it has a chance of finding its audience in the long run. For Anurag Basu, it’s an important film as he hopes for a strong comeback at the Indian box office. Sadly, despite being a creative genius, he has struggled to taste success consistently. Will things change for him? Let’s discuss it below!

Anurag Basu had an inconsistent box office run

In a career spanning over two decades, Anurag has directed only ten films, including his latest release. He has tried his hand at different genres, and almost every time, he has succeeded in his execution, thus proving his versatility. Unfortunately, despite being good at his work, he has been inconsistent in terms of box office success.

Anurag’s last successful film came 12 years ago

For those who aren’t aware, Anurag Basu’s last theatrical success was Barfi with Ranbir Kapoor in 2012. So, his success came 12 years ago, which is really a long time. Barfi surprised everyone with its performance, earning over 120 crore net at the Indian box office, and was a super hit affair. So, he will be willing to see another surprise in the form of Metro In Dino.
