The Christmas season has failed to bring much cheer for Varun Dhawan's latest action thriller ‘Baby John,’ as the film struggles to maintain momentum at the box office despite its festive release timing.

On Day 2, ‘Baby John’ collected ₹4.5 crore, a sharp drop from its opening day numbers, suggesting a significant dip in interest.
