Baby John: Box Office Collection

With the day 3 collection, the Kalees directorial total collection now stands at ₹23.90 crore.

At this rate, Baby John, which was reportedly made with a budget of ₹160 crore, will currently need to earn at least 570% more to recover its basic cost.

“That will be impossible as the action thriller is close to crashing at the box office,” said Koimoi.
