Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s The Vvaan: Force Of The Forrest has completed its opening weekend on an encouraging note. The folklore fantasy thriller showed a clear upward trend with each passing day, giving the film a healthy start at the box office.
After opening its theatrical run on Friday, the film managed to build momentum through Saturday and Sunday. The growth was not restricted to one particular market either, with both urban centres and multiplexes contributing to the weekend performance.
Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, The Vvaan blends Indian folklore, mythology, supernatural elements and rooted traditions into a theatrical fantasy experience. Its Bihar setting and connection with Chhath Puja have also helped the film establish a distinct identity among Hindi releases.
The opening weekend was always going to be important for the film. With the movie now entering its first set of weekdays, the focus shifts towards sustaining the momentum and converting the strong weekend into a stable theatrical run.

The Vvaan has collected ₹34.63 crore India net during its opening weekend. The film’s India gross collection stands at ₹40.90 crore after three days.
The film started with ₹8.12 crore on Friday before recording a healthy jump to ₹11.41 crore on Saturday. Sunday brought another significant increase, with the film collecting ₹15.10 crore.
The day-wise trend is particularly encouraging because the film has managed to grow consistently across the weekend rather than depending solely on its opening day.
| Day | Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 1 – Friday | ₹8.12 Crore |
| Day 2 – Saturday | ₹11.41 Crore |
| Day 3 – Sunday | ₹15.10 Crore |
| India Nett | ₹34.63 Crore |
| India Gross | ₹40.90 Crore |
Sunday emerged as the biggest day of the opening weekend, with the film crossing the ₹15 crore mark. The three-day trajectory therefore gives The Vvaan a stronger base as it heads into the weekdays.
The biggest takeaway from the opening weekend is the film’s upward movement. The Vvaan did not remain dependent on its Friday opening. Instead, the film added substantial business on Saturday and then delivered another strong jump on Sunday.
The growth also came across different audience centres. While the heartland response has been important for the film, urban centres and multiplexes also recorded good occupancy over Saturday and Sunday. The weekend trend suggests that audiences have given the film enough support to enter the weekdays with reasonable momentum.
Drishyam: The Conclusion Arrives This Friday
The next major challenge for The Vvaan comes at the end of the week when Drishyam: The Conclusion
arrives in cinemas. The new release will compete for screens, shows and audience attention. This makes the first four weekdays particularly significant for The Vvaan.The film needs to make the most of the available theatrical space before the new release enters the market. A stable run from Monday to Thursday would provide it with a stronger position before the competitive landscape changes.
The response to The Vvaan during these weekdays will also indicate whether the film has developed enough word of mouth to sustain its theatrical journey beyond the opening weekend.
Budget, Profit, And Verdict

| Verdict | Too Early To Judge |
The Vvaan has a reported budget of ₹80 crore. With ₹34.63 crore India net collected during the opening weekend, the film has recovered approximately 43.29% of its reported budget through its India net theatrical collection so far.
The verdict remains too early to judge. The weekday trend, second weekend and eventual lifetime theatrical run will determine where the film ultimately stands commercially.
Final Verdict
The Vvaan has delivered a healthy opening weekend, with the film showing consistent growth from Friday through Sunday and benefiting from encouraging occupancy across both heartland markets and urban centres. The ₹34.63 crore India net weekend gives the Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia starrer a solid foundation, but the real test begins on Monday. With Drishyam: The Conclusion arriving on October 2, the film will need to maintain steady weekday momentum and make the most of the next few days.
