The Rule, Varun Dhawan-starrer Baby John failed to churn out big on its opening day. On the Christmas Day holiday, even the dubbed Hindi version of Allu Arjun-starrer outshined Varun's film in terms of box office figures.

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.

Varun Dhawan starrer Baby John is receiving a good response by the audiences for Varuns raw avatar. Baby John day one is on the track to be the biggest opener post pandemic for a non- franchise film.

Varun Dhawan's eagerly awaited film 'Baby John' underperformed at the box office, earning Rs 12.5 crore on its opening day, falling short against 'Pushpa 2' which continues to dominate ticket sales during the holiday season.

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.

The first-day collection figures for Varun Dhawan's highly anticipated film Baby John, released worldwide on Christmas, are out. Reports suggest the movie hasn't performed as well as the hype it received.
