'Baby John' box office collection day 5: Varun Dhawan’s massy action drama struggles to cross ₹30 crore, while Allu Arjun's ‘Pushpa 2’ continues to impress

Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamiqa Gabbi starrer ‘Baby John’ has been the talk of the town right from the word go. Several factors added to the hype like it is the official remake of the South drama ‘Theri,’ which was a massive success, John’s massy avatar, Atlee’s vision, and more. However, it seems the movie has failed to live up to the hype. Irrespective of its calculative release on Christmas, the movie still struggling to cross the Rs 30 crore mark.
