The fantasy thriller posted a 5.31 crore Monday, taking its net to just under 40 crore and eyeing a 55 crore week, while the looming release of Drishyam 3 threatens its momentum.
# Monday Test Passed
The Vvaan clocked 5.31 crore on day 4, a modest 34.6 % dip from its opening‑day haul of 8.12 crore. That drop is tighter than many new releases see after the weekend, signalling that the audience is still buying into the fantasy‑thriller’s premise.
And the numbers add up fast. After four days the film has pulled in 39.94 crore net, which translates to about 47.13 crore gross. Trade chatter suggests the movie could breach the 55 crore net mark by the end of its first week – a solid opening by any post‑COVID yardstick.
# Sidharth’s Rising Post‑COVID Ledger
With the current tally, The Vvaan has nudged past Thank God’s 34.89 crore net, slotting itself as the second‑largest Sidharth Malhotra film released after the pandemic. The only post‑COVID title still ahead is Param Sundari, sitting at roughly 54.85 crore net. If the film maintains its current hold, it could overtake that record in the coming days, giving the actor a new personal best.
But the climb isn’t without obstacles. Drishyam 3, slated to hit screens later this week, is already being billed as a heavyweight contender. Early buzz points to a massive pre‑sale surge, and industry insiders warn that the thriller could siphon away a chunk of The Vvaan’s footfall, especially in multiplex‑heavy markets.
# Audience Pulse and Market Dynamics
Social chatter shows a mixed but generally positive vibe. Fans of Sidharth and Tamannaah are lauding the visual effects and the chemistry between the leads, while casual viewers appreciate the high‑octane action set pieces. The relatively low Monday drop suggests word‑of‑mouth is still working, a rare feat in a crowded release calendar.
So far, the film’s performance has also helped it stay ahead of the broader Monday slump that hit other titles, including the recent fantasy‑drama Mirzapur, which saw its numbers dip sharply. The Vvaan’s steadier hold could be a sign that genre‑bending projects still have a place in today’s box‑office landscape.
# Looking Ahead
If Drishyam 3 opens to the fanfare its pre‑sales hint at, The Vvaan may see a sharper decline in the second half of the week. Still, a strong opening weekend and a resilient Monday give it a cushion that many new releases lack.
So the next few days will be the real litmus test. Will the fantasy thriller keep its momentum and possibly eclipse Param Sundari, or will the crime‑drama wave wash it away? Box‑office trackers will have a busy week ahead, and fans will be watching the numbers as closely as the trailers.
