Varun Dhawan starrer Baby John has managed to cross box office collection of Rs. 20 crore domestically despite having a challenging start. However, its performance remains underwhelming amidst stiff competition and reports of cancelled screenings.
After a dip in collections to Rs. 3.65 crore on Friday, the film saw a slight improvement on its first Saturday, earning an estimated Rs. 4.25 crore, according to early data from Sacnilk.com. This brings the total net collection to approximately Rs. 23. 90 crore over its four-day run. The film recorded an overall 14.64% occupancy for its Hindi shows across the country.
The movie, which also features Keerthy Suresh in the female lead, is directed by Kalees. It has been facing major struggles due to the clash with two big release such as Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, and Mufasa: The Lion King, released in Hindi.
While the VD starrer is yet to cross the Rs. 5 crore daily mark, Pushpa 2 has been dominating the box office collection by surpassing Rs. 1,500 crore. Meanwhile, Mufasa has already Rs. 100 crore domestically, which makes it the third Hollywood film to achieve the feat.
On the work front, Varun has interesting movies lined up such as Border 2, No Entry 2, and Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.
