Baby John vs Mufasa: Shahrukh-Aryan’s ‘Mufasa’ overshadowed Varun Dhawan-Salman’s ‘Baby John’, a fight broke out on Sunday There were expectations of success from Varun Dhawan’s ‘Baby John’ but despite this, it did not get a good response at the box office and everything seems shattered. Shahrukh Khan and Mahesh Babu’s animated film ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ has so far earned more than 2000 crores worldwide.
Before the release of Varun Dhawan‘s ‘Baby John’, probably everyone was expecting that it would shake the throne of ‘Pushpa 2’, but it did not happen. ‘Baby John’ is a remake of the blockbuster Tamil film ‘Theri’, which was made by Atlee. Now after about 10 years, this film has been made in Hindi, which is not getting the response that was expected.
In fact, it seems that even Salman Khan’s cameo is not able to save the collection of this film. On the other hand, Shahrukh Khan and Mahesh Babu’s animated film ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ seems to be in the lead.
Director Kalis’ story does not have the grip that Atlee’s ‘Theri’ had. The story is of Baby John aka Satya Varma (Varun Dhawan), who is living a normal life with his daughter Khushi after leaving his past.
His daughter is his life, but then something happens that puts his daughter’s life in danger. However, Satya teaches a lesson to his domineering father and rapist son by putting his family at stake. However, it has been just 5 days since the film was released and its earnings seem to be faltering.
‘Baby John’s’ earnings fell on the third day itself

According to the report of Sacnilk, it has been able to earn Rs 4.75 crore on the fifth day i.e. Sunday. Overall, this film has earned Rs 28.65 crore at the domestic box office. Worldwide, this film has earned around Rs 41 crore in five days.
