YOU ASKED IT | 27 December, 2024

Why did Baby John not take an initial to be proud of?

– The trailer of the film had not found much appreciation among the public. Besides, Varun Dhawan has not had a success for long and, therefore, there was no reason for BABY JOHN to open to impressive houses. Had the film not released on the festive holiday of Christmas, the initial would’ve been even worse!

There was so much of tension about show allocation between Baby John (1st week) and Pushpa: The Rule Part 2 (Hindi dubbed; 3rd week). But now that Baby John has not lived up to expectations, will the shows of Baby John be reduced in its second week in favour of Pushpa: The Rule Part 2?

– What do you mean by “will the shows… be reduced in its second week…?” The shows of PUSHPA: THE RULE PART 2 (Hindi dubbed) were increased by many cinemas and those of BABY JOHN, reduced, from the second day itself. When footfalls for the PUSHPA sequel were much more than those for BABY JOHN on the first day of the new film, why would exhibitors knowingly suffer losses by maintaining status quo?

Why is the Telugu film industry not standing in support of Allu Arjun who is being penalised for the stampede in Hyderabad on December 4 on the occasion of the premiere of his Telugu film, Pushpa: The Rule Part 2?

– You are right! The entire Telugu film industry should come out in support of Allu Arjun. It was the failure of the police machinery, not Allu Arjun’s fault, which led to the stampede in which a woman was killed and her minor son was seriously injured.
