WILL THE VVAAN MANAGE TO SURPRISE AT THE BOX OFFICE?

Tomorrow will see the release of The Vvaan, starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia. The film is significant as it brings these two actors together for the first time and also because it is produced by TVF. Moreover, Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Telefilms is also involved as one of the producers.

The Vvaan’s teaser was just okay, but the trailer has made an impact. What has worked more than the trailer is the song ‘Chhathi Maiya’. It’s a rare song about Chhath Puja and has been loved by those who celebrate it.

In fact, thanks to the song, the advance booking of The Vvaan is quite good in Bihar. Several shows are fast filling, while in the rest of the country, it is underwhelming. As of now, the film seems to open at around Rs. 5 crores or Rs. 6 crores. Sidharth Malhotra’s last film, Param Sundari, had opened at Rs. 6.85 crores. If The Vvaan can go past this number, then it’ll be quite praiseworthy for this film. If reports are positive, the film can grow healthily over the weekend and earn around Rs. 20-25 crores. That’s very important as The Vvaan has just one week to score. This is because Drishyam The Conclusion will arrive next Friday, October 2, and it is expected to do smashing business at the box office.

Moreover, The Vvaan faces unexpected competition from Avengers Endgame: Encore. It’s a re-release of Avengers: Endgame and the makers have included additional scenes from the upcoming film, Avengers: Doomsday. The hype for Doomsday is insane and it will prove beneficial to Avengers Endgame: Encore. It’s set to open at Rs. 10 crores and thus, it’ll break all re-release records.
