Baby John Box Office Advance Booking Day 1: Varun Dhawan's film earns subpar Rs 1.46 crore; will it crash under Pushpa 2 effect?

Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh and Wamiqa Gabbi's Baby John by Atlee is releasing on December 25. Though there is good buzz around the film, the advance ticket sales indicate a subpar performance at the box office.

This Christmas is all about Baby John. Varun Dhawan has joined hands with Atlee to present a yet another dhamakedaar film. With Jawan, Atlee proved that he is the king of massy films. With Baby John, fans are expecting the same. The trailer and songs have created good enough buzz. The film is going to release on December 25, 2024. The advance bookings have started, however, it looks like Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 is going to have an effect on Baby John's box office numbers.

Baby John gets lukewarm response in advance booking

Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule released on December 5. It has been unstoppable since then. Crossing the mark of Rs 1000 crore in no time, Pushpa 2 has made several records. Now, Baby John has a big target to shoot. The advance booking of Baby John have begun and going by the numbers, it looks like Varun Dhawan's film is getting a lukewarm response. As per a report in Sacnilk.com, Baby John has sold around 50000 tickets so far and earned Rs 2 crore approximately. 49,557 tickets have been sold so far for the opening day and Rs 1.46 crore have been earned. The remaining is said to be from the blocked seats. The film in total has 6,489 shows reportedly. Given that extensive promotions were carried out and it has big names like Varun Dhawan, Atlee and director Kalees attached to it, the numbers seem to be disappointing as is being reported in entertainment news.

It looks Pushpa 2: The Rule is going to have its effect on Varun Dhawan's Baby John. The film also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Keerthy Suresh and Jacky Shroff in pivotal roles. Songs like Nain Matakka and others have already become quite a hit. Now, positive word-out-mouth for Baby John upon its release can help boost in numbers. It is a high-budget film and is releasing during Christmas holidays so the makers can expect a good footfalls in theatres and decent commercial success for Baby John. Fingers crossed!
