The box office race in India this week saw an exciting clash between Bollywood’s “Metro In Dino” and Hollywood’s “Jurassic World Rebirth”, as both films tried to pass the critical Monday test—a benchmark that often predicts the long-term success of theatrical releases. Alongside these, films like Aamir Khan’s “Sitaare Zameen Par”, Kajol’s “Maa”, and the sports drama “F1” continued to attract audiences with varied outcomes.

Let’s take a detailed look at the box office collection report as of Monday, July 7, 2025, and see which movies passed the Monday test and which faltered.

Metro In Dino: A Weekend Surprise but Monday Slip

Anurag Basu’s “Metro In Dino”, a film celebrated for its multi-narrative structure and soulful music, had a slow start, earning just ₹3.5 crore on its opening Friday. However, it picked up momentum over the weekend, collecting ₹6 crore on Saturday and ₹7.08 crore on Sunday.

Despite this positive upward trend, the film faced a significant drop on Monday, collecting only ₹2.50 crore. This dip pulled its total earnings to ₹19.25 crore so far. While the film enjoyed a steady weekend rise, the sharp fall on Monday raises questions about its sustainability in the coming week.

Jurassic World Rebirth: Hollywood Dominates Again

In contrast, “Jurassic World Rebirth” showed strong resilience, proving that Hollywood still has a stronghold in Indian theatres. The film opened with a powerful ₹9 crore Friday, followed by ₹13.5 crore on Saturday and ₹15.7 crore on Sunday.

On Monday, while a dip was expected, the film still raked in ₹4.25 crore, bringing its total box office collection in India to ₹43.25 crore. This performance clearly indicates that Jurassic World Rebirth has passed the Monday test, maintaining decent footfalls even after the weekend surge.

F1: A Steady Performer in Its Second Week

The American sports drama “F1”, which released on June 27, continues its strong run in Indian cinemas. The film had a solid first week collection of ₹35.5 crore, and is now enjoying a healthy second week, thanks to word-of-mouth and critical acclaim.

By Monday, F1’s total collection reached ₹53.20 crore, proving it has long legs at the box office and is likely to cross the ₹60 crore mark within the next few days. For a sports-based international release, this is a commendable performance in the Indian market.

Sitaare Zameen Par: Aamir Khan’s Streak Continues

Aamir Khan’s “Sitaare Zameen Par” remains a box office juggernaut, even in its third week. The film opened with a strong ₹10.7 crore and crossed ₹135.4 crore by the end of its second week.

In the third weekend, the film managed to add another ₹12.35 crore, and on Monday, despite the weekday dip, it still collected ₹1.35 crore. This brings the film’s total box office collection to ₹150.05 crore—a massive success in today’s competitive market, showcasing Aamir Khan’s continued box office pull.

Maa: Strong on Content, Weak on Box Office

Kajol’s emotionally-driven drama “Maa” earned critical acclaim for its storytelling and performances, but struggled to convert praise into ticket sales. It opened with ₹4.65 crore and saw only mild growth in the second weekend.

On Monday, it earned a mere ₹0.57 crore, taking its total to ₹32.17 crore. While not a complete failure, the film’s earnings suggest that good content doesn’t always guarantee commercial success.

Audience Trends and What Lies Ahead

The week’s numbers reinforce the idea that weekend momentum is important, but Monday collections are crucial for longevity. Films like Jurassic World Rebirth and F1 have shown staying power, while Metro In Dino, despite a talented cast and positive reception, needs a mid-week boost to recover from the Monday slump.

Meanwhile, Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par continues its dream run, and Kajol’s Maa, though appreciated for its content, appears to be tapering off commercially.

As we approach the next weekend, industry experts will be watching closely to see whether Metro In Dino can regain its footing or if it will continue to slide. Meanwhile, Hollywood dominance, as seen with Jurassic World Rebirth, remains consistent, and strong content with word-of-mouth like F1 continues to thrive.

The box office landscape for July 2025 is shaping up to be diverse and competitive, with a mix of genres, languages, and global content giving audiences plenty to choose from. Whether the upcoming weeks bring new records or early exits will depend entirely on how these films sustain audience interest beyond the initial buzz.
