After a thunderous opening, Ajith Kumar ’s action-packed entertainer 'Good Bad Ugly' experienced a routine dip on its second day (Working day) a trend typical for star-driven releases. The initial fan frenzy gave way to a more measured turnout on Saturday, but the film still managed an impressive hold across key centers in Tamil Nadu. As it heads into Sunday, a trade report from Sacnilk predicts a major rebound, with day 3 collections expected to cross Rs 20 crore in Tamil Nadu alone and touch Rs 25 crore overall in India.
Positive word-of-mouth and Ajith’s screen presence drive steady audience interest
The film has been receiving largely positive responses from audiences, with praise directed at Ajith’s charismatic screen presence, high-octane action sequences, and stylish presentation by director Adhik Ravichandran . Trisha Krishnan ’s role and the film’s slick visuals have also earned appreciation, contributing to strong word-of-mouth. Social media is abuzz with fan-made edits and reviews, many calling it one of Ajith’s most entertaining films in recent times.
Chennai, Dindigul, and other key Tamil Nadu regions boost regional box office
Among the best-performing regions, Chennai continues to be the film’s strongest market, while places like Dindigul, Trichy, Pondicherry, and Coimbatore have also registered strong turnouts. Ajith’s stronghold across urban and semi-urban centers in Tamil Nadu has played a key role in maintaining momentum through the weekend.
With Rs 60 crore expected before Sunday, the film eyes Rs 100 crore milestone soon
Despite the Day 2 dip to Rs 13.5 crore (Nett), 'Good Bad Ugly' has already amassed Rs 42.75 crore in just two days. With Saturday's projected Rs 25 crore pushing the film past Rs 60 crore domestically, the movie is set to close its opening weekend on a high. Industry insiders believe the film is on track to cross Rs 100 crore before the end of its first weekend, cementing its status as one of 2025’s biggest Tamil blockbusters.
