Against tempered pre-release expectations, The Vvaan has delivered a solid box office jolt. The Sidharth Malhotra-led film opened at Rs 8.12 crore on Friday, September 25, emerging as a genuine day-one surprise and finding strong support in mass pockets, heartland centres, and single screens.
The Opening Day Total
The Friday figure places The Vvaan ahead of Param Sundari, which opened at Rs 7.37 crore, and Yodha, which began with Rs 4.25 crore. It also moved past Thank God, which had collected Rs 8.10 crore on its first day when it arrived on a Tuesday during the Diwali release window. Taken together, the numbers give Malhotra one of his healthiest opening-day performances of the post-pandemic period.
Clash With Avengers Endgame Encore
The start becomes even more noteworthy because The Vvaan entered theatres alongside Avengers Endgame Encore, a re-release that also recorded an exceptional response. With a nostalgia-heavy Hollywood title drawing its own audience, the Hindi release still managed to carve out a strong first day in key domestic circuits.
That audience pull appears closely tied to the film’s rooted texture, which helped it connect beyond the metros and into territories where folk-inflected spectacle tends to travel well.
The Film’s Cast And World
Released in cinemas on September 25, 2026, The Vvaan stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead, with Maniesh Paul, Sunil Grover, Shweta Tiwari, and Anup Soni in pivotal roles. The film is directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and backed by Balaji Motion Pictures, TVF Motion Pictures, and 11:11 Productions.
Positioned as a folklore fantasy, The Vvaan leans into mystery, adventure, and a myth-rooted narrative space rather than a conventional urban setup. That tonal identity appears to be one of the reasons it clicked quickly in mass-led circuits on opening day.
Sidharth Malhotra’s Recent Theatrical Run
Before The Vvaan, Malhotra’s recent theatrical releases included Thank God in 2022, Yodha in 2024, and Param Sundari in 2026. With The Vvaan now opening above all three on day one, the latest release gives his theatrical track record a notable box office uptick at a time when opening-day traction remains a closely watched marker for mainstream star vehicles.
