Varun Dhawan's latest release, Baby John, has had a challenging run at the box office, struggling to gain momentum against strong competition. Despite a slight uptick in collections on its seventh day, the film managed to earn only Rs 2.15 crore, according to early estimates. This brings the total collection for the first week to Rs 32.65 crore.
The film, directed by Kalees and featuring an ensemble cast that includes Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jackie Shroff, and Salman Khan, has been overshadowed by larger releases. Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule dominated the box office with a day-seven earning of Rs 7.65 crore, while Disney's live-action Mufasa: The Lion King brought in an estimated Rs 5.75 crore.
