Varun Dhawan’s much-awaited movie Baby John has opened its advance booking window with a bang, with over 21,000 tickets sold across India for its opening day. This promising start has resulted in a collection of Rs 67.86 crore in advance bookings, excluding block seats. Directed by Kalees, Baby John has created a buzz in the entertainment world with its strong cast and compelling storyline.
The movie is a Hindi remake of the 2016 Tamil action thriller Theri, and it features Varun Dhawan in the lead role as a police officer and a single father. Joining him on screen are celebrated actors like Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jackie Shroff, who add to the film’s star power. With Jio Studios, Cine1 Studios, Vipin Agnihotri Films, and A for Apple Productions backing the project, Baby John stands as a joint production of renowned filmmaker Atlee, his wife Priya, Murad Khetani, and Jyoti Deshpande.
The release of Baby John is strategically planned for December 25, aiming to capitalize on the festive Christmas season. However, the film faces stiff competition from Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2, which is already breaking records at the box office and has surpassed blockbuster hits like Pathaan and Gadar 2.
Addressing speculations about a potential clash with Pushpa 2, Atlee clarified at a press event that there is no rivalry. He emphasized the camaraderie between the two film teams and stated that the release dates are not head-to-head. Atlee also mentioned that Allu Arjun congratulated him on the film’s success and extended his best wishes to Varun Dhawan. This camaraderie reflects a positive and collaborative atmosphere within the industry.
Baby John promises high-octane action, gripping drama, and emotional depth, making it an ideal watch for families during the holiday season. With advance booking numbers setting an encouraging tone, the film is well-positioned to draw audiences and carve its place among the year’s biggest releases.
As excitement builds, the film is expected to perform well both domestically and internationally, adding another feather to Varun Dhawan’s cap. Fans and critics alike eagerly await the grand release to see how Baby John fares in this fiercely competitive festive season
