Exclusive: 3 Reasons Why Baby John Crashed at the Box Office

The much-anticipated Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan, has turned out to be a box office disaster, struggling to make an impact despite its Christmas release. With a Day 1 collection of ₹11 crores and a sharp drop to ₹3.90 crores on Day 2, the film is far from its breakeven target of ₹75 crores. Here’s why Baby John failed to resonate with audiences:

3 Main Reasons Why Varun Dhawan Starrer Baby John Crashed at the Box Office

1. Pushpa 2’s Dominance

Even in its third week, Pushpa 2: The Rule continues to dominate the box office, leaving little room for new releases. The Allu Arjun-starrer has captivated audiences with its gripping storyline and mass appeal, overshadowing Baby John in both urban and mass circuits. Competing against such a juggernaut proved to be a losing battle for Varun Dhawan’s action thriller.

2. A Familiar Story

Baby John is a remake of the Tamil blockbuster Theri, which many viewers have already seen. The lack of novelty in the storyline made it difficult for the film to attract audiences, especially when the original, starring Thalapathy Vijay, is still fondly remembered. For a remake to succeed, it needs to bring something fresh to the table, which Baby John failed to do.

3. Varun Dhawan’s Underwhelming Performance

While Varun Dhawan is a talented actor, he couldn’t recreate the magic that Thalapathy Vijay brought to Theri. Vijay’s charisma and emotional depth were key to the original’s success, and Varun’s portrayal fell short in comparison. This lack of connection with the audience further contributed to the film’s downfall.

Final Thoughts

Baby John faced stiff competition, lacked originality, and struggled to live up to the expectations set by the original. With such factors working against it, the film’s box office failure was almost inevitable. For future remakes, filmmakers must focus on innovation and casting choices that resonate with the audience.
