Varun Dhawan’s much-anticipated action thriller Baby John hit the big screens on Christmas Day, but its opening day performance fell short of expectations. Despite the festive boost, the film managed to collect ₹11.25 crore on its first day in India, significantly lower than the pre-release projections of ₹17-20 crore.

A Tough Start Amid Fierce Competition for Baby John
While a midweek release on a major holiday like Christmas usually guarantees a strong opening, Baby John faced stiff competition from two juggernauts:
- Pushpa 2, which continues to dominate mass circuits even in its third week.
- Mufasa, a family-friendly blockbuster that captured urban audiences.
This intense box office rivalry impacted Baby John’s ability to draw in larger crowds, especially in key markets.
The Road Ahead: Sustaining Momentum Is Key
For the Varun Dhawan starrer movie to achieve a respectable extended weekend total, it must maintain its momentum through Sunday. A strong word-of-mouth buzz and steady footfall in theaters will be critical for the film’s survival in a crowded box office landscape.
Final Thoughts
While Baby John had a modest start, the unpredictable nature of the box office leaves room for surprises. The coming days will determine whether Varun Dhawan’s action-packed return can hold its ground or fade under the shadow of its competitors.
