Varun Dhawan's 'Baby John' Declared a Major Box Office Failure

The high-budget action film, a remake of 'Theri,' struggles with poor reviews, low collections, and stiff competition from 'Pushpa 2.'

'Baby John,' starring Varun Dhawan, earned just ₹47 crore worldwide in its first eight days against a reported ₹160 crore budget.
The film opened with ₹11.25 crore on Christmas Day but saw a sharp decline in collections, failing to recover even during the holiday season.
Critics panned the film for its lack of originality, weak execution, and Varun Dhawan's performance in the mass action genre.
Trade analysts estimate the film will close below ₹60 crore, resulting in notional losses of over ₹100 crore for the producers.
Competition from Allu Arjun's blockbuster 'Pushpa 2' and Disney's 'Mufasa' further dampened 'Baby John’s' box office prospects.
