Box Office: Varun Dhawan’s Film Falls Short of Pushpa 2’s Fourth Weekend Numbers

The audience has given the verdict of Varun Dhawan starrer Baby John. Unfortunately, despite the actor's dedicated effort, the film has been fully rejected by audiences. It began with a solid opening over the Christmas holiday, but the numbers quickly fell short in the days that followed.

Except for the opening day, the film has struggled to reach double digits on any other day. On day 5, the numbers remained disappointing, with collections not even hitting the R5 crore mark.

If you look at the trend of the recent past, making remakes have become a tough sell, with audiences showing little enthusiasm for them.

 

Box Office: Varun Dhawan’s Film Falls Short of Pushpa 2’s Fourth Weekend Numbers

The exceptions have been rare, such as Drishyam starring Ajay Devgn and Shaitaan, while most remakes, even the well-executed ones, have flopped.

Unfortunately, Varun Dhawan’s film is no exception. With a reported budget of over 150 crores, the film's earnings are disappointing.

Baby John started strong with 11.25 crores on its opening day but dropped to 5.13 crores on the second day. By day 3, earnings declined further to 3.65 crores*, though day 4 saw a small uptick with 4.25 crores.

Early trends suggest the film saw a minor increase on day 5 (Sunday), with earnings estimated at 5 crores. So far, the Bollywood action thriller has garnered approximately 29 crores net at the box office.

Baby John had a lackluster performance during its 5-day extended opening weekend, with its earnings surprisingly trailing behind the estimated 31-32 crores collected by Pushpa 2 (Hindi) in its fourth weekend.

Baby John Box Office Collection Breaking (Day Wise):

• Day 1: 11.25 crores
• Day 2: 5.13 crores
• Day 3: 5.13 crores
• Day 4: 4.25 crores
• Day 5: 4.50-4.80 crores
• Total: 28.78-29.08 crores

Varun Dhawan's starrer looks all set to witness a major drop from Monday onwards, and it will be curious to see how it performs by the end of its opening week.
