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.

Despite getting the push from being a Christmas holiday release, Varun Dhawan’s Baby John had a decent opening day collection at the box office. The Kalees directorial's performance was mostly hit by the continued dominance of Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 and the clash with Disney's Mufasa: The Lion King.

Pushpa 2* continued to dominate the box office, while Varun Dhawan's much-anticipated film Baby John failed to outshine Allu Arjun's movie, despite the high expectations surrounding it.

Varun Dhawan's 'Baby John' captivates audiences with a gritty role, marking a major Bollywood milestone. Despite competition, it stands strong in the box office race.

With the release of 'Baby John' on the silver screen, Thalapathy Viajy's fans are anxious to know how they can connect with 'Theri' and what would be the similarities between the two movies.

Those who caught the first day first show of Kalees' action thriller Baby John on Wednesday couldn't help but show excitement for Salman Khan's cameo.
