Good Bad Ugly box office collection day 3: After commencing 2025 on a disappointing note, owing to the underperformance of director Magizh Thirumeni’s Vidaamuyarchi, Tamil star Ajith Kumar has made a massive comeback with Adhik Ravichandran’s action comedy Good Bad Ugly. Although it began its domestic run slightly behind Vidaamuyarchi, Good Bad Ugly has gained momentum, thanks to positive word of mouth, and has since recorded better daily earnings in comparison. With Gopichand Malineni’s Sunny Deol-starrer Jaat stumbling and losing hundreds of shows nationwide — and no other major releases on the immediate horizon — the path ahead looks clear for Good Bad Ugly.
On Saturday, the Ajith-starrer recorded an India nett collection of Rs 20.79 crore, marking a 38.60 per cent improvement from its Friday earnings, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. With this, Good Bad Ugly’s domestic total has reached Rs 65.04 crore. Jaat —released on the same day that Good Bad Ugly did — earned just Rs 10 crore.
While Vidaamuyarchi opened to Rs 31.75 crore in the domestic market, Good Bad Ugly had managed to register only Rs 29.25 crore on its debut day. However, the action comedy fared better in comparison on day two, minting Rs 15 crore against the Magizh Thirumeni directorial’s Rs 12.15 crore. On its third day, Vidaamuyarchi had eked out only Rs 15.8 crore, which further dropped to Rs 14.65 crore on its first Sunday. However, it appears that the situation won’t be the same for Good Bad Ugly and the action comedy will only see an uptick today.

In his review of the movie, SCREEN’s Avinash Ramachandran wrote: “Even if the writing is shallow, and most of the performances, except an Ajith showreel for the ages, are functional, the film is gloriously engaging.”
