Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh’s latest release “Baby John” had a decent start at the Indian box office, according to early trends. Despite the Christmas holiday, the film struggled to make a significant impact due to a three-way clash with Pushpa 2 and Mufasa. Without this stiff competition at the ticket counters, the film might have performed much better on its opening day. With an average opening, the movie’s box office fate now hinges on its weekday performance to determine whether it becomes a profitable venture for the producers.
Directed by Kalees, “Baby John” is a remake of Atlee’s 2016 Tamil hit “Theri.” The film marks Keerthy Suresh’s Hindi cinema debut and features a strong supporting cast including Wamiqa Gabbi, Zara Zyanna, and Jackie Shroff. It is produced by Jio Studios, Cine1 Studios, Vipin Agnihotri Films, and A for Apple Studios.
With the weekend ahead and the New Year holiday on January 1st, the film still has an opportunity to improve its box office collection, especially if public reviews turn out to be positive. However, based on the current trend, the movie’s lifetime collection is expected to settle in the range of ₹50 – 60 crore.
