The Nana Patekar, Utkarsh Sharma, and Simrat Kaur starrer ‘Vanvaas‘ has received positive word of mouth from audiences but struggles to perform at the box office. In its first weekend, the film collected ₹73 lakhs on Friday, ₹1.02 crores on Saturday, and ₹1.53 crores on Sunday, totaling ₹3.28 crores.
Competition from Blockbusters
Despite strong content, the film faces stiff competition from big-budget hits like Pushpa 2 and Mufasa: The Lion King, both of which dominate the market. The arrival of another anticipated release, Baby John, on Christmas Wednesday, is expected to intensify the challenge.
Positive Word of Mouth vs. Market Dynamics
While Vanvaas has been praised for its storytelling and performances, it struggles to carve a significant audience share. The film’s inability to compete with the massive promotions and star power of other films highlights the challenges of releasing in a crowded holiday season.
Outlook for the Week Ahead
Film experts believe Vanvaas can recover if it sustains audience interest during weekdays. However, the competition from Baby John and ongoing box-office juggernauts poses a daunting task for the makers of Vanvaas.
