The much-anticipated film Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh, has faced a disappointing start in terms of advance bookings. Despite the star power of its leads, the film has sold fewer than 50,000 tickets in advance and has managed to earn a subpar ₹1.46 crore from its pre-release ticket sales.
Baby John was expected to be a major draw for audiences, given the popularity of Varun Dhawan and Keerthy Suresh, both established stars in the Indian film industry. However, the underwhelming advance bookings indicate that the film’s buzz may not have lived up to expectations. With a big budget and heavy promotions leading up to the release, many industry insiders had anticipated a strong response from moviegoers. Unfortunately, the film’s pre-release earnings have fallen short of its projected figures, raising concerns about its future box office performance.
This lackluster response from ticket buyers has sparked discussions about the factors contributing to the film’s slow advance sales. The film’s plot, marketing strategies, and competition from other releases might have played a role in dampening the excitement among moviegoers. Despite the star cast, it appears that Baby John has not been able to generate the same level of enthusiasm that typically accompanies a film with such big names attached.
With fewer than 50,000 tickets sold in advance and a modest ₹1.46 crore earned, the film now faces a tough battle ahead. While this early setback may not necessarily determine its long-term success, Baby John will need to rely heavily on word-of-mouth reviews and strong performances in the coming days to turn its box office fortunes around.
For the moment, it remains to be seen whether the film can recover from this lukewarm start and gain momentum once it hits theaters. However, the disappointing advance booking figures highlight the unpredictability of the film industry and the challenges even high-profile projects face in capturing the audience’s attention.
