But the numbers are the first real verdict on the film, and they’re not what you’d expect from a first‑look buzz. The Vvan pulled in ₹11 crore nett on Saturday, up 37.5% from Friday’s ₹8 crore, while the overall haul after two days hit ₹19 crore nett, a tidy boost from the modest opening.
The show‑count tells the same story: 6,746 screens on day one jumped to 6,887 on day two, giving the film a chance to widen its reach. Occupancy was solid at 38.54% overall, with night‑time screenings peaking at 54.92%—a sign that the midnight crowd still has a taste for the supernatural.
Director Deepak Kumar Mishra has woven a tapestry of folklore from the Maa Van Devi Temple near Bihta, and the result is a visual feast that balances fantasy, folklore and a touch of horror. Sidharth Malhotra carries every scene with a swagger that keeps the audience guessing, while Tamannaah Bhatia’s performance adds a sharp edge to the narrative. Supporting turns from Sunil Grover and Shweta Tiwari give the film a comic relief that’s oddly necessary in a dense forest setting.
Critics remain split: some praise the film’s ambition but flag uneven pacing and a script that sometimes stumbles. Still, the steady rise in box‑office numbers suggests that word‑of‑mouth is working, and The Vvan is poised to ride the wave into a third‑day surge. Keep an eye on its trajectory—if the trend continues, this low‑budget fantasy could redefine how folklore is adapted for the big screen.
