Baby John Box Office Collection Day 2: The Varun Dhawan starrer took a great start by earning in double digits on the first day. However, the momentum of the film did not last long as its collections at the box office dropped drastically on the second day.
Baby John had a good opening at the box office, but the Varun Dhawan-starrer action thriller’s collections declined on the second day on Thursday. The Hindi adaptation of Atlee’s 2016 Tamil blockbuster Theri earned just Rs 4.40 crore on the second day of its release, down 50 per cent from the Rs 11.25 crore it earned a day earlier.
The Kalees-directed film is expected to perform better at the box office over the weekend. Baby John’s box office performance was most affected by the continued dominance of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 and its clash with Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King.
The Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh and Wamiika Gabbi starrer was also challenged by a surprise blockbuster at the box office – Kiccha Sudeep’s Kannada action thriller ‘Max’.

About the film
The action-packed thriller starring Varun, Keerthy Suresh and Wamiika Gabbi is directed by Kalees and produced by filmmaker Atlee, who also directed Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawaan. The film boasts of an impressive cast including Jackie Shroff, Rajpal Yadav and a special cameo appearance by Salman Khan.
The film tells the gripping story of a cop who assumes a new identity to provide safe haven to his daughter, but is forced to confront his troubled past when his life comes under threat.
According to a Hindustan Times review, the film “starts off very chaotically, and for about 40 minutes there is no soul”. It further wrote, “There is no sense of direction, and the cute girl bossing her father around doesn’t make any impact.
Atlee, who has previously made both Jawaan and Theri as director, is responsible for the story here. He did the same with Shah Rukh Khan in Jawaan. Oh, another thing he loves is pigeons. He loves using them to create a fluttering effect. There is a lot of copy-paste from Jawaan here. But it’s all a mess.”
