The Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia starrer 'The Vvaan' has sold around 15,000 tickets in the top three national multiplex chains (PVRInox and Cinepolis) as of Thursday afternoon, according to Bollywood Hungama. The film is headed for a closure near 30,000 tickets, signalling an opening day collection of approximately Rs 7 crore. M9.News reports that while this number is decent, the film lacked major hype after its trailer.
Pinkvilla.com reports that 8,000 tickets were sold at two national chains, with single-screen sales in Bihar circuit outperforming Delhi and Mumbai, a rare occurrence. All three sources note that the film benefits from a Chhath Puja backdrop and supernatural elements, which have driven curiosity in mass belts like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The film faces competition from 'Drishyam 3' in its second week.
Trade experts quoted by M9.News suggest that if content clicks, Bihar alone could push the opening to Rs 10 crore, but caution that the film's fate depends on performance outside this circuit. The Vvaan releases on September 25, 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Pinkvilla.com leads with the surprise Bihar advance as a positive sign, framing it as unprecedented and hopeful for the film. Bollywood Hungama takes a neutral-report stance, presenting the 15,000-ticket figure as decent for a non-starter and noting the upcoming competition from Drishyam 3. M9.News sensationalises the advance as a 'shock' despite the same figures, highlighting the lack of hype and putting pressure on Bihar to save the film. The balanced reading: while Bihar's unexpected traction is noteworthy, the film's overall advance remains modest, and its long-term success hinges on content reception beyond the first day. The opening weekend collections will clarify whether this regional spike translates into a wider hit.
