Varun Dhawan’s ‘Baby John’ Faces Theatres Cut Amid Fierce Competition

‘Baby John’ Struggles as ‘Pushpa 2’ and ‘Mufasa’ Dominate

Varun Dhawan’s Christmas release, ‘Baby John’, has seen a sharp decline in its box office performance. Despite opening to decent numbers with ₹11 crore on day one, boosted by holiday bookings, the film’s momentum slowed down drastically from its second day.

As of Day 9, the film has garnered ₹35.58 crore in India, including Thursday morning’s ₹18 lakh contribution, as per Sacnilk. Even the New Year holiday failed to lift the movie’s numbers, with only ₹2.75 crore on Day 8 (Wednesday) and ₹2.15 crore on Day 7 (Tuesday). The worldwide lifetime collection is projected to be around ₹60 crore, far below expectations.

The declining demand for the movie has led to a massive reduction in shows, with over 2,500 screenings pulled from single-screen theatres. Compounding the challenges, the blockbuster ‘Pushpa 2’ continues its dominance, on track to become the highest-grossing Indian film ever with an estimated worldwide collection nearing ₹1,800 crore.
