Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi’s Baby John released in theatres on 25 December. It’s a remake of Theri, which starred Vijay. As per the latest update on Sacnilk.com, Baby John has now crossed ₹10 crore on its opening day at the box office in India.
Baby John had a decent opening day at the box office, having released on a holiday. The report adds that Baby John collected ₹12.5 crore, as per early estimates. The film had 24.53 percent Hindi occupancy on Wednesday. It will be interesting to see how the film performs on its extended opening weekend with the holiday season starting today.
However, Baby John has failed to cross the opening day box office collection of Theri. As per India Today, the film’s opening day collection standS at ₹13.1 crore based on its release only in Tamil Nadu. Moreover, it is Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa 2 which is still giving a tough competition to Baby John even in its third week. Pushpa 2 collected ₹20.7 crore. Mufasa, on the other hand, minted ₹14.25 crore on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Baby John is an action thriller directed by Kalees and produced by Atlee. The film also stars Jackie Shroff, and Rajpal Yadav, with Salman Khan in a cameo appearance. The Mashable India review of Baby John read, “The film does have some great changes including making Jackie Shroff more menacing while giving the second female lead Wamiqa a stronger character turning her into a cop. However, the best thing about the film is Rajpal Yadav’s character going through a major change turning a new leaf for the actor too. Overall, Baby John is a fun watch only for fans of action without substance. Varun, Wamiqa and others deserved a better screenplay and chance to show off their skills. Rajpal Yadav and Jackie Shroff are lucky enough to be able to do that, and it’s unmissable.”
