Baby John, the much-hyped film backed by Atlee, hits theaters on Christmas 2024. The Hindi action thriller is directed by Varun Dhawan. It stars Keerthy Suresh as Varun’s on-screen love interest and Vamika Gabbi in a pivotal role. Amidst the unstoppable wave of Pushpa 2 and the strong hold of Mufasa in India, Baby John has failed to perform successfully at the box office.
Baby John clocks Rs 1 crore collection on 11th day in India; Total collection is Rs 34 crore
Baby John, which marks the dramatic comeback of Varun Dhawan after Bhediya (2022), has not performed as expected at the box office. In an extended first week, Varun’s Action struggled at the ticket window, earning Rs 33 crore nett in India. While Atlee’s production began its journey with a respectable start on Christmas, the New Year could not help boost the film’s performance.
A day after earning Rs 40 lakh, the action thriller earned Rs 1 crore on the second Saturday, taking its low collection to Rs 34.4 crore.
Here’s how much John has collected so far in India:
| day/week | net collection |
| extended week 1 | Rs 33 crore |
| day 10 | Rs 40 lakh |
| day 11 | Rs 1 crore |
| Total | Rs 34.4 crore |
Baby John’s earning will be less than Rs 40 crore
Going by the trends, Baby John has emerged as a disaster at the box office. The recently released Hindi film, starring Keerthy Suresh and Wamiek Gabbi, may not even touch the Rs 40 crore mark, while its theatrical run will end slightly below this figure. While the Varun Dhawan-starrer failed to survive amid the successful performances of Pushpa 2, Mufasa and Marco, the re-release of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani in theatres, has also affected its business.
