Varun Dhawan’s 'Baby John' Struggles at the Box Office

'Baby John,' a Hindi remake of Tamil hit 'Theri,' faces low earnings and stiff competition despite a holiday release and significant budget.

The film opened on December 25 with an underwhelming global first-day collection of $2 million, including $1.5 million in India.
'Baby John' has earned a total of $3.2 million globally over three days, far below expectations for its $22 million production budget.
Competition from blockbusters like 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' and 'Mufasa: The Lion King' has significantly impacted its box office performance.
Directed by Kalees and produced by Atlee, the film is a Hindi adaptation of Vijay's Tamil hit 'Theri,' featuring Varun Dhawan as a dual-role protagonist.
Critics have described the movie as lacking depth, with mixed reviews for Dhawan's performance and the film's execution of action-heavy, mass-appeal elements.
