It was a low weekend for Vanvaas as Rs. 3.28 crores came in. Ideally, this should have been the first day numbers for the film and the weekend should have get into that Rs. 10-12 crores range. However, first and foremost the genre by itself has its limitations. Secondly, Pushpa 2: The Rule (Hindi) has been running riot and yet again took the biggest share amongst all films by accumulating a weekend of over Rs. 55 crores. As a result, Vanvaas had to make do with the best that it could gather in its first three days.

In any case, the opening day of the film was low at Rs. 73 lakhs and though collections did manage to touch Rs. 1.02 crore on Saturday, the growth was quite limited. There was similar trend on Sunday as well with collections growing nominally to Rs. 1.53 crore, as a result of which the overall weekend number stayed on to be underwhelming. Considering the fact that the film has seen theatrical release, box office collections are important and from that perspective, all eyes are now on whether Monday stays close to Friday collections at least.

The bigger issue ahead is that Baby John arrives mid-week on Wednesday itself and that will further turn out to be competition for Vanvaas. It’s not as much about screens or shows either since Vanvaas needs just a few of these allocated to it at reasonable slots to have an audience inflow. However, with so much happening around it already, the film will need a lot to go in its favour if it has to proceed well into the second week.

Note: All collections as per various box office sources
