It’s Christmas time, and the box office is buzzing with excitement. Two of the biggest films of the season, Pushpa 2 and Baby John, are ready to captivate audiences, but there’s a twist—a heated battle over screen space. Here’s what’s happening and why it’s the talk of the town.
Pushpa 2: The Box Office King
Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 has been nothing short of a sensation. Released on December 5, the film smashed records, especially in North India, where the Hindi version outperformed the Telugu original. With its gripping story and electrifying performances, Pushpa 2 has dominated the box office for three weeks straight. But now, it faces a fresh challenge.
Entry of Baby John
On Christmas Day, Baby John is set to make its grand debut. Starring Varun Dhawan, this movie brings a wave of excitement. With its release perfectly timed for the holiday season, Atlee’s action-packed drama aims to pull in massive crowds and carve its own success story.
Which movie is going to stand out: Pushpa 2 or Baby John?
As Pushpa 2 has already captivated the audience and been ruling the box office since its release on December 5, 2024, it might be challenging for Baby John, releasing on December 25 during Christmas, to stand out.
However, the movie is highly anticipated, especially since it is produced by the renowned director Atlee. Atlee won hearts with his Bollywood debut, Jawan, which was a massive hit in 2023. Atlee is known for delivering thrilling action in his movies, and the latest Bollywood action thriller could very well hold its ground against Pushpa 2 and dominate the box office.
Only time will tell who emerges on top once the film is released.

Baby John Songs and Dance Moves Add to Its Standout Appeal
With Varun Dhawan known for his incredible dance moves, the film features catchy songs and mesmerizing choreography that have already performed exceptionally well on YouTube. The songs, along with the captivating background music, are brought to life by Raja Kumari, who previously wowed audiences with her performance in Jawan. Her magic is set to make fans go crazy once again!
Atlee Tweeted About the Release of the Dance Track “Bandobast”
Renowned director and producer of Baby John, Atlee, shared his excitement on Twitter, saying, “We are ready to steal your heart, baby!” He further fueled the buzz with another tweet, “This beast is ready to win it all, baby!”
The anticipation surrounding the movie has reached a fever pitch, as its Christmas Eve release is expected to create a storm at the box office. Fans can hardly wait to witness the magic of the latest Bollywood action thriller!

The Screen War
Here’s where things get intense. Distributor Anil Thadani is pushing for an equal split of screens between Pushpa 2, Baby John, and another big release, Mufasa: The Lion King. This has caused a stir among multiplex chains, who believe that newer films deserve more screen time than a three-week-old blockbuster.
“It’s not fair to give 50% of screens to a movie in its fourth week. New releases need room to shine,” said an industry insider. For a brief moment, advance bookings for Pushpa 2 were halted in major chains like PVR and INOX, but after some negotiations, they’ve resumed. However, the final showdown over screens is still unfolding.
