Varun Dhawan’s latest film, Baby John, has crossed the Rs 20 crore mark at the domestic box office within its first four days of release.
Despite reports of some screenings being cancelled, the film, which opened to a strong response, experienced a boost in earnings on Day 4, its first Saturday. Baby John faced stiff competition from other releases, such as Kichcha Sudeep’s Max, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule and Mufasa: The Lion King, but has managed to maintain steady collections.
Following a decline to Rs 3.65 crore on Friday, the film experienced a modest rebound on its first Saturday, with estimated earnings of Rs 4.25 crore, according to early figures from industry tracking website, Sacnilk.com.
This brings Baby John’s total four-day domestic net collection to around Rs 23.90 crore. The film registered an overall occupancy of 14.64 per cent for its Hindi screenings across the country.
