Varun Dhawan’s action-drama Baby John, directed by Kalees and presented by Atlee, witnessed a disastrous second Monday at the box office. The film managed to earn only Rs. 25 lakh on Day 13, as per early estimates from Sacnilk. Despite its initial buzz, the movie has struggled to maintain momentum, with total collections reaching just Rs. 38.75 crore after 13 days.
Baby John Day-Wise Box Office Performance
Baby John, also starring Keerthy Suresh and Jackie Shroff, had a promising opening day with Rs. 11.25 crore. However, subsequent collections showed a sharp decline:
- Day 1: Rs. 11.25 crore
- Day 2: Rs. 4.75 crore
- Day 3: Rs. 3.65 crore
- Day 4: Rs. 4.25 crore
- Day 5: Rs. 4.75 crore
- Day 6: Rs. 1.85 crore
- Day 7: Rs. 2.15 crore
- Day 8: Rs. 2.75 crore
- Day 9: Rs. 1 crore
- Day 10: Rs. 55 lakh
- Day 11: Rs. 75 lakh
- Day 12: Rs. 85 lakh
- Day 13: Rs. 25 lakh
- Second Week: Steep drops with collections ranging from Rs.1 crore to Rs. 25 lakh.
Total Box Office Collection: Rs. 38.75 crore (early estimate).
Despite Varun Dhawan’s star power and a powerful cameo by Salman Khan, the film struggled to find traction. Baby John also marked the Bollywood debut of Keerthy Suresh, but her presence couldn’t salvage the film’s downward trajectory.

Baby John is an official remake of Atlee’s Tamil blockbuster Theri, which starred Vijay and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. While the original was a massive success, the Bollywood adaptation failed to replicate the magic, both critically and commercially.

With dwindling collections and reduced occupancy in theatres, the road ahead looks bleak for Baby John. The film’s underperformance highlights the challenges faced by remakes in meeting audience expectations.
