Sidharth Malhotra has opened The Vvaan – Force of the Forrest to a solid opening with a global box office collection of 9.60 crore on day one, putting the actor ahead of the 7.37 crore opening registered by Param Sundari last year. The opening has already put the spotlight back on Malhotra’s ability to pull audiences into a solo-led theatrical vehicle in an original world. His previous release, Param Sundari, opened at 7.37 crore, while Thank God registered 8.10 crore on its first day. Vvaan’s figure puts the new film in that conversation.
Sidharth Malhotra’s Box Office Opening Record
For Sidharth Malhotra, this also marks his strongest opening in years. His earlier box-office record is led by Ek Villain, which opened at 16.72 crore, followed by Brothers at 15.20 crore. Student of the Year, Marjaavaan, and Kapoor & Sons also feature among his significant first-day starts.
What makes The Vvaan opening notable, however, is that Malhotra is not returning to an established franchise or a familiar urban drama. The film creates an original folklore-driven world around the forbidden forest of Vvaan, with Malhotra at the center of the story. It is a combination of fantasy, action, and romance, requiring the actor to carry a world that is entirely new to the audience.

The opening shows the audience response, making the film’s weekend trajectory important. Early trade commentary has already placed The Vvaan among Malhotra’s biggest openers in the last decade, with the film currently being tracked for further growth over Saturday and Sunday.
For an actor whose career has moved across genres, from Student of the Year and Kapoor & Sons to Ek Villain, Brothers, Marjaavaan, and Shershaah, The Vvaan is another departure. Here, he is fronting an ambitious fantasy-action film and playing the audience’s entry point into its mythology.
The numbers, therefore, revive a familiar industry conversation around Malhotra and his ability to open films across genres when the project gives audiences a reason to turn up on the first day. With The Vvaan now ahead of Param Sundari on its early opening estimate, the attention shifts to whether the film can build on that start through the weekend. Trade concurs that strong numbers await the film in the weeks to come.
