Baby John Day One: Varun Dhawan's Film Poised To Be Biggest Non-Franchise Opener Post-Pandemic

Varun Dhawan's latest film, Baby John, is garnering positive feedback from audiences for showcasing Varun in a raw and intense role. The film is on track to become the highest-grossing non-franchise movie opening since the pandemic began.

Baby John has surpassed the opening numbers of several other films, including Satya Prem Ki Katha, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, Jug Jugg Jeeyo, Yoddha, Bad Newzz, Mr and Mrs Mahi, and Tere Baaton Main Aisa Uljha Juya.

The film is anticipated to earn between 13 to 15 crore on its first day. This is impressive considering other releases like Pusha and Mufasa: The Lion King are still showing in cinemas.

What sets Baby John apart is its success as a non-franchise and non-IP film. It joins a select group of movies that have opened with strong numbers without relying on established franchises.

Currently, Baby John is playing in theatres near you.
