Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s fantasy thriller The Vvaan has crossed the ₹50 crore mark at the domestic box office within its first seven days of release. According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film collected a net of ₹4.40 crore on Day 7 across 6,966 shows, pushing its India net total past the significant milestone and confirming a steady first-week performance for the folklore-based supernatural drama. Released on September 25, The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest opened to a solid ₹8 crore net on its first day and built momentum through the weekend. Saturday collections climbed to approximately ₹11.25 crore, while Sunday delivered the film’s strongest single-day haul of around ₹14.35 crore. The three-day opening weekend total settled near ₹33-34 crore, representing one of Sidharth Malhotra’s more encouraging theatrical starts in recent years and a notable return for Tamannaah Bhatia to a leading role in a Hindi theatrical release after a gap of several years.
The early numbers reflected growing word-of-mouth in certain circuits, particularly among audiences drawn to regional folklore and mass-appeal storytelling. Weekday collections followed a familiar pattern of decline after the weekend peak, yet the film demonstrated resilience. Monday brought in roughly ₹5.25 crore, Tuesday recorded a modest recovery near ₹6 crore, and Wednesday settled in the range of ₹4.25-4.35 crore. By the close of Day 6 the India net stood close to ₹49 crore, positioning the film to comfortably cross the ₹50 crore threshold on Thursday. Trade observers highlighted that The Vvaan found particular acceptance in mass circuits, where occupancy held relatively firm even as overall theatre footfalls typically soften mid-week. This geographic strength helped offset softer performance in metropolitan multiplexes and contributed to the film’s ability to sustain shows across a wide release footprint.
Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and produced under Ektaa Kapoor’s banner, the film blends elements of Indian folklore with a contemporary supernatural thriller narrative. It centres on a rational, urban protagonist who returns to his ancestral village and becomes entangled with mystical forces connected to the forest. Critical response was mixed, with some reviewers praising the visual ambition and cultural texture while others found the storytelling uneven. Audience reception, however, proved more supportive in key markets, allowing the film to maintain a viable theatrical presence through its first week. Overseas earnings remained modest but steady, adding several crores to the worldwide gross and helping the overall tally move past the ₹60 crore mark in early estimates.

Attention now turns to the second week as The Vvaan confronts fresh and formidable competition. Ajay Devgn’s highly anticipated Drishyam: The Conclusion (also referred to as Drishyam 3) arrives in theatres on Friday, October 2. The release coincides with a public holiday, which trade analysts believe could still provide residual footfalls for ongoing titles even as the new film commands the bulk of premium screens and marketing attention. Sustained performance in the coming days will determine whether The Vvaan can retain a meaningful share of the box office or experience a sharper decline once the bigger release settles in. The holiday factor and the film’s established base in mass markets offer a degree of cushion, yet the intensity of competition remains a clear challenge.
Overall, the first-week performance positions The Vvaan as a moderate commercial success relative to pre-release expectations, particularly within a crowded calendar that included other new releases and a major Hollywood re-release. With India net collections already past ₹50 crore and a demonstrable audience base outside the top multiplex cities, the film enters its second week with a respectable foundation. Whether it can convert that foundation into a longer theatrical run will depend on how effectively it holds screens and occupancy against the arrival of one of the year’s most anticipated titles.
