The Vvaan has closed its theatrical run at ₹92.48 crore gross worldwide, finishing in the black on a moderate budget despite losing momentum to Drishyam 3 in week two.
The fantasy thriller opened on 25 September 2026 to ₹8.12 crore net in India and multiplied that opening-day figure 8.8 times over its full run. Critics were mixed-to-decent on the film, with its blend of Indian folklore, fantasy and humour drawing notice, while the screenplay and villain track drew the main criticism.
The final arithmetic
The closing split is compact:
- India net: ₹71.5 crore
- India gross: ₹84.38 crore
- Overseas gross: ₹8.1 crore
- Worldwide gross: ₹92.48 crore
Against a reported budget of ₹65–70 crore, the India net leaves a surplus of roughly ₹1.5–6.5 crore, or 2.14–10%. That is a plus verdict by standard box-office parameters: a real recovery, but not a runaway.
A week-two collision changed the ceiling
Early sentiment had made the ₹100-crore worldwide mark look possible. Then Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam 3 arrived a week later and took over screens and attention. The Vvaan still produced a healthy opening-day multiple, which suggests the audience was willing to travel; what it lost was the longer tail a smaller competitive window would have allowed.
Where the film lands in two careers
For Sidharth Malhotra, ₹92.48 crore makes The Vvaan his fifth highest-grossing release, edging out Param Sundari at ₹89.72 crore and sitting behind Student Of The Year at ₹109.1 crore. Ek Villain still leads his list at ₹169.62 crore.
For Tamannaah Bhatia, it becomes her third biggest Bollywood grosser, behind Entertainment (₹115.93 crore) and Humshakals (₹105.28 crore), and ahead of Himmatwala (₹68.87 crore).
The trade takeaway
The run is a small case for cost discipline. A ₹65–70 crore outlay meant that a curtailed run could still finish as a plus, and the 8.8x opening-day multiple did the heavy lifting. The caution is equally clear: when a franchise giant is one week out, do not underwrite a ₹100-crore total on early reactions alone.
