On December 25, 2024, Varun Dhawan’s much-awaited action-packed film Baby John was released in theaters. The movie was highly anticipated, with fans excited to see Varun in a new avatar. According to reports, Baby John did well on its opening day at the box office, earning Rs 12.50 crore. This is a strong start for the film, especially considering it was released on Christmas Day, a holiday that often brings in a good number of viewers.
However, the film faced tough competition from Pushpa 2, the sequel to Allu Arjun’s blockbuster hit, Pushpa: The Rise. Pushpa 2 was released earlier, on December 5, and continued to show impressive box office performance even after weeks in theaters.
Baby John vs Pushpa 2 on Christmas day
On Christmas Day, Pushpa 2 earned a massive Rs 16.82 crore, proving that it still holds a strong position at the box office. Despite being released earlier, Pushpa 2 continues to dominate, drawing huge numbers and ensuring its success.
In comparison, Baby John, though performing decently, could not outshine the sustained success of Pushpa 2. While Varun Dhawan’s fans flocked to theaters for the action film, Pushpa 2 maintained its winning streak with strong performances from Allu Arjun.
This battle between Baby John and Pushpa 2 clearly highlights the continuing power of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa franchise, as it continues to captivate audiences and secure a strong box office position. Meanwhile, Varun Dhawan’s Baby John had a good opening day but faces stiff competition in the coming weeks.
Varun Dhawan’s career best in 5 years
Baby John is a scene-by-scene remake of the Tamil movie Theri, which starred Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson. Despite the comparisons, Varun Dhawan has managed to achieve a significant milestone in his career with this film. According to trade website Sacnilk, Baby John earned Rs 12.50 crore on its opening day, marking Varun’s best opening in the last five years.
