Will Baby John Outperform Pushpa 2 and Stree 2? Advance Ticket Sales Surge

4 hours ago | 5 Views

Trade analysts believe that Baby John has strong potential, and advance ticket sales for the eagerly awaited film featuring Varun Dhawan have commenced. Projections suggest that the action film could generate approximately Rs 16 crore on its opening day, with total earnings for the first weekend expected to surpass Rs 50 crore. The director, Kalees, and producer, Atlee, seem to be focused on maximizing box office revenue to attract a wide audience.

Cautious comparisons with other blockbusters

According to a report, industry analysts are exercising caution when making comparisons to other releases this year. Girish Wankhede conveyed to the publication that current data is not available due to a surge in bookings. The imminent release of Pushpa 2—The Rule has hindered the ability to initiate bookings sooner, which has adversely affected the film's box office performance. Neither Stree 2 nor Pushpa 2 can match its revenue. Nonetheless, the film benefits from Atlee's involvement, Varun's star appeal, and a remarkable soundtrack. Starting Monday, the film is expected to maintain its momentum.

Along with Jackie Shroff, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi, Baby John is a remake of Theri, a 2016 Tamil film by Atlee.

Plot synopsis of Baby John

According to reports, in the narrative of Baby John, DCP Satya Verma IPS is involved in the murder of Babbar Sher's son due to a grave offence, leading to a fierce power struggle that culminates in Babbar wreaking havoc on Satya's family. With only his daughter Khushi managing to escape, Satya feigns his own death so that he and Khushi can lead a peaceful life in Kerala under the alias Baby John. Satya seeks revenge against Babbar Sher and safeguards Khushi after she threatens to disrupt their serene existence upon discovering his survival.

In a previous discussion about the film, Varun noted that Atlee's work contained logical elements, explaining that significant alterations to the film's geography were necessary. He expressed that by approaching it as an adaptation rather than a direct remake, they successfully accomplished their objectives.

Furthermore, he highlighted that the film sheds light on real issues regarding women's safety in India and provides a contemporary viewpoint on parenting.
