Weekend box office battles rarely stay predictable, and The Vaan: Force of Forrest just proved that with a strong Day 2 jump. Starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, the film is quietly building momentum right when its opening weekend mattered most.

The Vaan: The Numbers So Far
Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, the film grew by an impressive 45% on Saturday compared to its opening day — a trend that box office watchers see as a strong sign of positive word of mouth kicking in early.
| Day | Collection (Nett) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Friday) | Rs. 7.25 crore |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | Rs. 10.50 crore |
| Total (2 Days) | Rs. 17.75 crore |
What This Growth Means?
A 45% single-day jump this early is notable — most Bollywood films either hold flat or dip slightly on Saturday before a bigger Sunday surge. The Vaan skipping straight to strong growth suggests decent theatrical buzz, and trade estimates now peg the opening weekend total somewhere between Rs. 30-32 crore nett.
That number matters because of how modestly the film was made. With reasonable production costs, even an average extended run could put The Vaan in profit territory — while a strong weekday hold could push it toward a full-fledged hit.
The Real Test Starts Next Week
Here’s the catch: Drishyam 3: The Conclusion releases next week, and it’s already generating strong advance bookings. For The Vaan to sustain its current trajectory, it needs a healthy weekday trend before that competition hits screens. Sidharth Malhotra fans will also note this is a clear improvement over his previous outing, Param Sundari, which struggled to hold its own at the box office.
Conclusion
This release adds to what’s shaping up to be a genuinely strong stretch for Indian cinema — a welcome shift after a prolonged period where industry insiders worried about declining volumes and underperformance.
