Baby John Box Office Collection: South diva Keerthy Suresh has finally made her Hindi debut with this Varun Dhawan starrer. The actioner arrived in theatres on 25th December 2024 coinciding with the Christmas holidays and opened to decent numbers. Here¡¯s a quick look at the Day 1 box office report of Baby John.
As per Sacnilk, Baby John earned Rs 12.57 crores on its opening day. This number makes the movie Varun's biggest opening in the last five years. Dhawan¡¯s last few big screen outings, Street Dancer 3D (2020), Jug Jugg Jeeyo (2022), and Bhediya (2022) couldn¡¯t manage a double-digit opening. It was his 2019 film Kalank, alongside Alia Bhatt, Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Dutt, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sonakshi Sinha, that opened at Rs 21.60 crore.
For the uninitiated, Dhawan¡¯s film is inspired by Atlee's 2016 Tamil film Theri, but it has failed to surpass its collections. India Today reported in 2016 that Theri opened at ?13.1 crore just in Tamil Nadu, making it Vijay¡¯s biggest opener of all time (till 2016). Currently, at the box office, Baby John is facing tough competition from Allu Arjun¡¯s Pushpa 2, which has been earning massively ever since its December 5 release this year.
Directed by Kalees, the actioner also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Zara Zyanna, Jackie Shroff, Sanya Malhotra (special appearance), Rajpal Yadav, B. S. Avinash and Sheeba Chaddha in key roles. Baby John has been bankrolled by Jyoti Deshpande, Murad Khetani, Atlee and Priya Atlee under the banner of Jio Studios, Cine1 Studios, Vipin Agnihotri Films and A for Apple Productions. This Thaman S musical is cinematographed by Kiran Koushik and edited by Ruben.
