Baby John vs Top 5 Christmas holiday-grossers in Bollywood
Baby John is the official adaptation of Atlee’s 2016 film, Theri. It was a super-hit at the box office. Varun Dhawan starrer was expected to replicate the success and rank among the highest-grossing Christmas films of all-time in Bollywood.
It needed at least 102 crores to beat 83, which is #10 on the list, but that is far from possible as it is expected to wrap its lifetime under the 60 crores.
Take a look at the top 10 Christmas releases of Bollywood:
- Dangal: 387.39 crores
- Dhoom 3: 280.25 crores
- Simmba: 240.22 crores
- Dunki: 232 crores
- 3 Idiots: 202 crores

- Dabangg 2: 185.5 crores
- Dabangg 3: 150 crores
- Ghajini: 114 crores
- 83: 102 crores
Budget recovery impossible?
Baby John is reportedly made on a budget of 160 crores. It currently needs 699% higher earnings to recover its basic cost. That will be impossible as the action thriller is close to crashing at the box office.
