Upendra’s Ui is on the verge of ending its theatrical run, and the overall outcome at the worldwide box office hasn’t been good so far.

The verdict of Varun Dhawan’s Baby John is now out, and it’s really sad to see that despite the actor giving his best, the film has faced a complete rejection from the audience. It took a fair start on the Christmas holiday, but the film failed to match those numbers by a big margin in the following days. In fact, except for the opening day, it hasn’t even touched double-digits on any of the days. Today, on day 5, the condition remained poor as the collection didn’t even touch the 5 crore mark.

In the post-pandemic era, being a remake is a curse, and the audience is hardly giving such films any chance. Only Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam and Shaitaan have been exceptions, but all remakes, even well-made ones, have tanked miserably. Unfortunately, even the Varun Dhawan starrer falls into the latter category.
