Has the reality of Varun's stardom been exposed by Baaghi2?

Numbers speak louder than words. Judwaa2 did record business in Bihar which BOI called a star driven circuit. This was aided by Durga Puja holidays and national holiday of Gandhi Jayanti. Still with just Good Friday which isnt even a holiday for most private offices Tiger has surpassed those figures.
Report on opening day of Judwaa2:

Judwaa2 in 5 days:

Baaghi2 in 5 days:

Overall Judwaa2 opened at 86 lakhs which was a record few months ago. Baaghi2 opened at 1.29 cr which even beat Baahubali2 and TZH.

After 5 days Judwaa2 made 3.4 cr while Baaghi2 made 4.79cr.

So is Varun's so called stardom a result of serendipitous circumstances? That is he debuted with KJo's directorial with Sid M but being himself well connected in the industry and getting an additional push from KJo helped him choose films which suited him. Later those films released great circumstances coming either in holiday periods or periods of no competition or after a spate of big flops(this was especially true of Judwaa2). It helped him that Sid M and Ranbir are undergoing a flop phase and Ranveer too cant deliver without Deepika and SLB and SLB films take time to get made. Only positive thing about Varun is his work ethics ie he works in low budget movies, does his best to promote them and keep his fans engaged. Very much like Akshay.
But now with Baaghi2 we see the potential of what his films could have done vs what they did. So like Alia has Varun too been lucky to have been in the right place at the right time for the last few years?

Baaghi 2 has shaken up all the calculations. Tiger now goes to the top of the table.

Why just Varun ????

He is gonna make a 150 crore film in least popular time period. All of Bollywood should be shaken 😛 😛

If Baaghi2 crosses BM and YJHD then Ranveer and Ranbir are in danger too. But for now it looks sure to cross Judwaa2.

As per Ormax the film has great WOM. So it might be very good for its genre.

Dont like Varun as an actor as he does over-acting in all his movies.

But really after looking at the Posts targetting just Varun with Baaghi 2 success, makes me believe he is extremely popular and most of the members here were desperately for a younger actor to perform well to diss Varun.

Has he made any other films? Generally choreographers made bad directors.
