The fantasy horror-thriller film The Vvaan has earned a total India net collection of ₹ 53.50 crore by 10 PM on its seventh day in theatres. Starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, the movie released last Friday and opened to a decent box office response with collections of ₹ 8 crore.

Box Office Performance

The film saw growth over its opening weekend, hitting its highest single-day haul on Sunday with ₹ 14.35 crore. It held steady on weekdays, collecting ₹ 5.25 crore on Monday and showing surprising growth on Tuesday with ₹ 6 crore. Day seven brought in ₹ 4.40 crore, marking its lowest single-day haul so far despite facing competition from other releases like Nani's The Paradise and Marvel's re-release Avengers Endgame Encore. The movie has received mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike, while marking Sidharth's return to the big screen.

Viral Moment

Public reaction to the film has also made headlines, particularly regarding how the festival of Chhath Puja is showcased in the story. A video went viral on social media showing people in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, removing their footwear outside before entering the theatre to watch the movie. The plot follows a rational Mumbai-based engineer named Rishi, played by Sidharth, and his wife Mamta, played by Tamannaah, as they travel to his ancestral village in Devanchal, Bihar, around the time of Chhath Puja.

Context

Regional cultural elements and festivals often play a prominent role in connecting mass-market Indian films with local audiences. Box office tracking for new releases helps gauge how movies sustain their momentum against competing titles during the first week.
