The Vvaan Opens With Conflicting Day-One Pre-Sales

Differing trackers put opening-day pre-sales between roughly 85,000 and 117,000 tickets, leaving the film's true box-office start dependent on walk-ins, early word-of-mouth, competing releases, show allocations.

Overview

  • The Vvaan opened in Indian cinemas on Friday, September 25, 2026, and final advance-booking tallies reported by outlets vary significantly.
  • Koimoi's final tally recorded 1.17 lakh tickets sold for day one and a Rs. 2.47 crore gross from advance bookings, which it said is Sidharth Malhotra's best post-COVID day‑one pre-sales.
  • Sacnilk, cited by the Free Press Journal, reported a lower figure of just over 85,000 tickets and Rs. 2.09 crore gross including blocked seats, with Rs. 1.25 crore when blocked seats are excluded.
  • Bollywood Hungama noted muted sales in national chains, reporting about 15,000 tickets sold across PVR, Inox and Cinepolis as of Thursday afternoon and suggesting a possible Rs. 7 crore opening-day net if walk-ins hold up.
  • Analysts point to limited show allocations caused by strong holdovers such as Hanuman Ansh and an Avengers re-release plus upcoming Drishyam 3, and say weekend walk-ins and early audience response will determine the film's longer run.
