Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest has begun its theatrical journey with a solid opening. Released on September 25, the supernatural thriller recorded around ₹9.6 crore gross in India on its first day, according to reported box-office estimates.
The Vvaan Opens With ₹8 Crore Net
The film collected approximately ₹8 crore net in India on Day 1, while its gross collection stood at around ₹9.6 crore. The movie was screened across more than 6,700 shows, with occupancy strengthening through the day.
Sidharth Malhotra Gets a Strong Opening
The opening places The Vvaan among the stronger theatrical starts of Sidharth Malhotra’s recent releases. Reports indicate that its opening has surpassed the first-day numbers of films such as Param Sundari and Thank God.
A Folklore-Based Supernatural Thriller
Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Arunabh Kumar, The Vvaan combines folklore, mythology, supernatural elements, action and thriller storytelling. The film follows Rishi, played by Sidharth Malhotra, as he travels with his wife Mamta, played by Tamannaah Bhatia, to his ancestral village in Bihar around Chhath Puja.
Tamannaah Bhatia Returns to a Hindi Lead Role
The film also marks an important Hindi theatrical appearance for Tamannaah Bhatia, who stars opposite Malhotra. The supporting cast includes Sunil Grover, Shweta Tiwari, Anup Soni and Maniesh Paul.
Weekend Performance Will Be Important
While the opening-day numbers provide an early indication of audience interest, the film’s performance over the weekend will offer a clearer picture of its theatrical run. The Vvaan is also competing with the re-release of Avengers: Endgame – Encore at the box office.
What Comes Next for The Vvaan
With its first-day collection approaching the ₹10-crore mark in gross terms, attention will now shift to the film’s Saturday and Sunday numbers. Sustaining audience interest through the opening weekend will be key to determining how strongly The Vvaan continues at the box office.
