Baby John OTT release: Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan in the lead role, has struggled at the box office. Even though the movie saw a power-packed opening, earning ₹11.25 crore during the first few days, Baby John's earnings quickly started to decline.
On Day 8, Baby John had managed to gross only ₹35.4 crore, falling significantly short of the high expectations for this big-budget production, according to trade experts.
Despite such declining earnings, many had been eagerly anticipating Baby John's release on OTT platforms. However, the lack of any updates from the producers and OTT platforms has raised questions, sparking rumours that Baby John may not have secured a digital deal, stated reports.
Usually, there are official announcements when any OTT platform acquires the streaming rights for a particular film. Reportedly, Baby John is likely to stream on Prime Video, but there has been no official announcement or update regarding its digital distribution.
The unusual lack of clarity about Baby John's OTT release has led many to speculate that the film’s underwhelming box office performance may have made it less appealing to OTT platforms, leaving its digital future uncertain.
A Kalees directorial, Baby John is the Hindi remake of Atlee’s 2016 Tamil revenge cop-drama 'Theri'. The original Tamil film starred Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Amy Jackson.
