The Vvaan Eyes Rs 65-67 Crore Finish After 70% Drop
The Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia folklore fantasy adds Rs 3.50 crore in Week 3 and is set to finish at Rs 65-67 crore nett.
After a strong start, The Vvaan: Force Of The Forest is winding down. The folklore fantasy drama added just Rs 3.50 crore nett in its third week at the Indian box office, pushing its running total to Rs 64.75 crore, according to trade estimates.
Week 3 brought Rs 2.50 crore over the weekend alone, leaving roughly Rs 1 crore across the five weekdays. The week-on-week slide from its Rs 11 crore second week works out to a drop of about 70 per cent.
Where the numbers stand
- Week 1: Rs 50.25 crore nett
- Week 2: Rs 11 crore nett
- Week 3: Rs 3.50 crore nett
- Running total: Rs 64.75 crore nett
Trade currently projects the film will close its theatrical run at Rs 65 crore to Rs 67 crore nett in India. With new releases arriving, the fourth weekend onward is expected to see further drops.
What changed after the opening
In its first week, the Deepak Kumar Mishra-directed film looked capable of reaching Rs 75-80 crore in its full run. That would have ended the long wait for a clean hit for Sidharth Malhotra, who headlines opposite Tamannaah Bhatia.
The arrival of Drishyam: The Conclusion in week two changed the equation. The Vvaan lost screens and audience attention, and the second-week drop was severe enough to cap its lifetime potential. A less crowded release window, trade watchers note, may have given the fantasy drama more room to breathe.
Why this matters for fans of the stars
For Sidharth Malhotra, the film remains a mid-range earner rather than the breakout commercial win his filmography has been waiting for. For Tamannaah Bhatia, the film underlined her presence in a mainstream Hindi theatrical title, but the overall result lands short of the early buzz.
Even within a low third week, the shape of the collections tells the story. Weekend ticket sales accounted for Rs 2.50 crore of the total, leaving only about Rs 1 crore across the weekdays. That is a sign the film is playing to a small remaining audience rather than finding fresh footfalls.
The lesson in release timing
The Vvaan’s trajectory is a reminder that a film’s lifetime is decided by its second-week hold, not just its opening. A big weekend can create headlines, but it is weekday and second-week stability that turns an opening into a hit.
A clean hit is a trade label reserved for a film that comfortably recovers its costs and turns a meaningful profit. The Vvaan needed staying power, and that is exactly what the Drishyam clash interrupted.
For viewers who still want to catch the folklore fantasy on the big screen, the next few days matter. New releases will shrink its shows quickly from the fourth weekend onward.
