This Friday’s prominent Hindi release, “The Vvaan,” headlined by Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia, has opened to a decent-to-good response in morning shows, with Bihar emerging as a key contributor. The song “Chhathi Maya” and the film’s depiction of Chhath Puja have helped it connect with audiences in the state, where the festival is celebrated on a large scale.

In other parts of the country, the film has received a reasonable response so far, but the regions that celebrate Chhath Puja are expected to boost the business of “The Vvaan.”

Sidharth’s last release, “Param Sundari,” opened at ₹7.25 crore, and “The Vvaan” could marginally surpass that figure, aided by the Anant Chaturdashi holiday in several parts of the country.

The Hollywood biggie “Avengers Endgame: Encore” has registered an excellent start, with the re-release witnessing a response rarely seen for a film returning to theatres in India. While premium formats have recorded phenomenal demand, the craze in the southern markets has been particularly strong. The massive response to a film available on OTT platforms shows the anticipation for its follow-up, “Avengers: Doomsday,” which is expected to shatter every possible Hollywood record in India.

Nani-starrer “The Paradise,” which released yesterday, received a fair response in its Hindi-dubbed version, collecting ₹2.25 crore. The film performed best in the Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Odisha circuits.

Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Arunabh Kumar, “The Vvaan” also stars Maniesh Paul, Sunil Grover, Shweta Tiwari and Anup Soni in key roles.
