The folk fantasy thriller has amassed 46.04 crore net in five days, edging close to the coveted 50‑crore milestone as the Gandhi Jayanti holiday looms.
In five days the folk‑fantasy thriller The Vvaan has pulled in a net of 46.04 crore across India, according to Koimoi. That puts the film within a whisker of the 50‑crore benchmark that many producers treat as a first‑week triumph.
The daily tally on Tuesday, September 29, rose to 6.10 crore, nudging the total past the 46‑crore line. The previous day had delivered 5.31 crore, showing a modest but steady climb rather than a sharp drop. For a movie that relies heavily on word‑of‑mouth in tier‑2 and tier‑3 towns, those figures are encouraging.
Balaji Motion Pictures, the studio behind the project, now ranks The Vvaan as its fourth‑largest post‑COVID earner. It has edged past earlier releases that collected 44.48 crore and 41.49 crore respectively. Within Sidharth Malhotra’s own post‑pandemic catalogue, the film sits second, overtaking his recent outings.
The numbers aren’t just a vanity metric. Strong footfall in northern mass circuits has translated into a broader geographic spread, a pattern that could help the picture survive the upcoming clash with Drishyam 3. That sequel is slated to hit screens just as the Gandhi Jayanti holiday arrives on October 2, a long weekend that traditionally boosts cinema traffic.
If the holiday lifts audience numbers, The Vvaan could comfortably breach the 50‑crore barrier before the end of its opening week. The extra days of leisure give the film a buffer against the new entrant, and the holiday’s family‑friendly vibe aligns well with the movie’s mythic, adventure‑laden tone.
Industry watchers are already flagging the film’s performance as a bellwether for similar mid‑budget ventures. A steady rise, rather than a front‑loaded spike, suggests that the story is resonating beyond the opening‑night hype. That bodes well for the producers, who have been banking on repeat viewings in smaller towns.
Tamannaah Bhatia’s presence also adds a layer of appeal. Her fan base, combined with Malhotra’s, creates a cross‑demographic pull that seems to be paying dividends. Social chatter has been buzzing about the film’s visual splendor and its folk‑rooted narrative, further feeding curiosity.
The next box‑office report, due on Friday, will reveal whether the holiday push was enough to push the total past the 50‑crore line. Until then, the film sits in a comfortable position, with a clear path to join Balaji’s elite post‑COVID roster.
Should The Vvaan cross that threshold, it will cement its own success and reinforce the viability of folklore‑driven, mid‑budget projects in a market that’s increasingly dominated by high‑budget spectacles.
