"Baby John," released on December 25, 2024, is a Hindi-language action thriller directed by Kalees. The film stars Varun Dhawan in the titular role, alongside Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jackie Shroff. It is a remake of the 2016 Tamil film "Theri," originally directed by Atlee.
Critical Reception:
The film has received mixed reviews from critics. The Times of India rated it 2.5 out of 5 stars, noting that while it has its moments as an action film, it could have been more impactful in terms of content and narrative.
M9.news commented on the film's predictability, stating that after a lively first hour, it becomes mired in predictability and makes little effort to surprise the viewer.
Audience reactions have been varied. Some viewers praised Varun Dhawan's performance, stating he "killed it," while others felt that the remake lacks the feel of the original "Theri."
Box Office Collections:
"Baby John" had a decent opening, earning approximately ₹11.25 crore on its first day. However, it experienced a significant drop on the second day, collecting around ₹4.75 crore, and continued to decline on the third day with ₹3.65 crore. By the fourth day, the film earned an additional ₹4.25 crore, bringing the total domestic collection to approximately ₹23.90 crore.
Considering its reported budget of ₹160 crore, the film's current box office performance indicates that it needs a substantial increase in collections to recover its production costs.
