The Vvaan Nets Rs 60 Crore in 12 Days, Eyes Rs 70 Crore Run
Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia's The Vvaan nets Rs 59.80 crore in 12 days; lifetime may close at Rs 65-70 crore.
Sidharth Malhotra’s fantasy mythological drama The Vvaan: Force of the Forest has crossed the Rs 59 crore mark, taking Rs 1 crore on its second Tuesday. Pinkvilla’s trade tracking puts the 12-day nett total at Rs 59.80 crore, with a 25 per cent spike from Monday’s number giving the film a modest midweek lift.
The Rs 60 crore headline is a round-number milestone, not the final word — the tracked cume is Rs 59.80 crore nett, and the film is now in the phase where every crore counts.
Where the film is heading
The Deepak Kumar Mishra-directorial is expected to wrap its second week near Rs 61 crore. After that, the trajectory flattens: based on current trends, the all-India lifetime is projected in the Rs 65-70 crore nett band.
That is a useful recovery after a soft pre-release buzz, but it is not a breakout.
A second-week fight
The real challenge has been the presence of Drishyam: The Conclusion. Pinkvilla notes that had The Vvaan held better in the second week against that film, it could have emerged as a clean hit. Instead, the trade verdict is settling at average.
There is a silver lining, though: the film has performed better than pre-release expectations. For a crowded market, beating the number expected before opening day counts for something even when the final result is not a clean hit.
The story and the ensemble
The Vvaan: Force of the Forest follows Rishi, an engineer who returns to his ancestral village in Bihar with his wife to settle a property dispute. A development project threatens a sacred forest, pulling him into a centuries-old mystery and forcing him to protect both his village and the balance between faith and nature.
The cast includes Tamannaah Bhatia, Anup Soni, Sunil Grover, Shweta Tiwari and Maniesh Paul alongside Sidharth. It is a rare mythological-fantasy swing for the lead actor, and the genre depends more on visual spectacle and word of mouth than on star power alone.
Key numbers at a glance
- Second Tuesday: Rs 1 crore — a 25 per cent spike over Monday.
- 12-day total: Rs 59.80 crore nett.
- Second-week projection: around Rs 61 crore.
- Lifetime projection: Rs 65-70 crore nett.
What should fans take from this? Not that the film is a flop — it is not. The trade language is careful: average means the economics sit somewhere between disappointment and celebration. The Vvaan has delivered a respectable base for its team, even if the mythological-fantasy genre will need stronger word of mouth to become a regular box-office bet.
For trade watchers, the next few days will confirm whether the film can edge toward the upper half of its projected band. For fans, the realistic takeaway is a credible finish for a film many had written off before release.
