2024
has
ended
on
a
very
poor
note
for
Bollywood
as
the
last
release
of
the
year
has
turned
out
to
be
a
disaster.
Baby
John
has
met
with
a
disastrous
fate
at
the
box
office
as
the
film
will
end
up
with
a
very
poor
score.
At
the
very
least,
the
film
was
expected
to
be
a
Rs
100
crores
(Rs
1
billion)
earner
but
the
manner
in
which
it’s
currently
going,
it
will
struggle
to
score
even
a
half
century.
The
tell
tale
signs
were
there
even
before
release
when
the
hype
was
just
not
good
enough
for
it
to
take
a
start.
Add
to
that
the
whole
Pushpa
2
wave
and
that
further
dented
its
prospects.
This
isn’t
all
as
Mufasa
is
doing
well
too
and
that
meant
that
there
were
also
issues
around
the
allocation
of
appropriate
screens
and
shows.
All
of
that
can
change
as
well
when
a
film
is
liked
by
the
audience
as
the
reallocation
can
begin
soon
enough
and
the
tide
can
turn.
However
when
the
advance
booking
for
the
film
wasn’t
good
either,
alarm
bells
were
ringing
already.
The
opening
day
number
of
Rs
11.25
crores
(Rs
112.5
million)
and
that
too
on
Christmas
further
indicated
a
tough
ride
ahead
for
the
Kalees
directed
film
and
when
the
collections
ended
up
hovering
in
the
Rs
4
crores
to
Rs
5
crores
(Rs
40
million
to
Rs
50
million)
range
in
the
days
to
follow,
it
was
the
end
of
the
road
for
the
film.
So
far,
the
film
has
collected
Rs
30
crores
(Rs
300
million)*
at
the
box
office
and
these
are
very
poor
numbers
for
a
five
day
weekend
and
that
too
during
holiday
season.
This
also
means
that
the
film
will
further
nosedive
during
weekdays
and
though
it
will
play
on
for
one
more
week
at
least
since
there
are
no
new
movies
planned
for
this
Friday,
it
will
be
all
academic.
Meanwhile,
Pushpa
2
(Hindi)
outperformed
both
Mufasa
and
Baby
John
despite
being
in
the
fourth
week.
It
has
already
reached
the
Rs
775
crores
(Rs
7.75
billion)
mark.
It’s
making
terrific
strides
towards
entering
the
800
Crore
Club
and
this
never
seen
before
milestone
would
be
crossed
during
this
week.
An
All
Time
Mega
Blockbuster.
*Estimates.
Final
numbers
awaited
