Bollywood film Baby Zone, starring Varun Dhawan, has completed 13 days in cinemas. With a budget of ₹85 crore, Baby Zone’s box office run has concluded. The film’s collections were low in the first week. Expectations for a significant jump during the second weekend were not met.

The film’s worldwide box office collection to date is ₹66 crore 28 lakh. Given its ₹85 crore budget, Baby Zone has been a major flop at the box office.
