Varun Dhawan’s ‘Baby John’ Fails to Impress, Collects Less than 21-Day-Old ‘Pushpa 2
Varun Dhawan’s latest film, ‘Baby John’, has got off to a slow start at the box office, with the film collecting less than the 21-day-old ‘Pushpa 2’ on its opening day. The film, which was expected to be a big hit, has failed to impress audiences, with many critics panning the film’s storyline and direction.
According to reports, ‘Baby John’ collected a mere Rs 8.5 crore on its opening day, which is significantly less than the Rs 12.5 crore collected by ‘Pushpa 2’ on its 21st day. The Allu Arjun-starrer has been doing exceptionally well at the box office, with the film already crossing the Rs 300 crore mark.

However, critics and audiences alike have been underwhelmed by its storyline and execution. Many have described the film as lacking substance, with its unique concept failing to resonate.

Meanwhile, Pushpa 2 continues its remarkable success, crossing the Rs 300 crore mark and solidifying the dominance of South Indian cinema in recent years. The Allu Arjun-starrer has become a cultural phenomenon, winning audiences across India with its gripping narrative, high-octane action, and powerful performances.
The poor opening of ‘Baby John’ has come as a shock to many, given Varun Dhawan’s popularity and the film’s big-budget production. The film’s director, Nitesh Tiwari, had high hopes for the film, but it seems that the audience has not responded well to the film’s unique storyline.
The film’s failure to impress has also raised questions about the current state of Bollywood, with many films failing to perform well at the box office in recent times. The success of ‘Pushpa 2’ and other South Indian films has highlighted the growing popularity of regional cinema, and the need for Bollywood to reinvent itself to stay relevant.
It remains to be seen how ‘Baby John’ will perform in the coming days, but for now, it seems that the film is facing an uphill task to recover its costs and impress audiences.
