April 10 wasn’t just a release day—it turned into a celebration for Ajith Kumar fans. As Good Bad Ugly stormed into cinemas, the box office numbers were the real review. In Tamil Nadu alone, the film collected a massive ₹28 crore on its opening day, marking one of the strongest openings in recent times. It was a clear reminder that when Ajith appears on screen, the audience turns up, no matter the critics’ verdicts.

Overseas Triumph: Smashing Records
The real surprise came from overseas markets. Good Bad Ugly grossed between USD 1.9 to 2 million internationally on Day 1, setting a new benchmark for Ajith’s career. This surpassed his previous film Vidaamuyarchi, which had collected USD 1.76 million on its first day. In the USA alone, the film brought in USD 368.5K—just a hair behind Vidaamuyarchi’s USD 370K debut.
Tough Competition, Strong Performance
Despite facing stiff competition from multiple regional releases—Jack in Telugu, Jaat in Hindi, Bazooka in Malayalam, and others like Marana Mass and Alappuzha Gymkhana—Ajith’s film held its ground. Dubbed in several languages, Good Bad Ugly showcased Ajith’s growing pan-India appeal and maintained strong momentum.
Promising Weekend Ahead
With an extended holiday weekend ahead—including Ambedkar Jayanti on April 14—trade experts predict the film could earn USD 5–7 million overseas by Sunday if the momentum continues.
Star Power Over Hype
Ajith Kumar has once again proven that box office success doesn’t always rely on heavy promotions. With Good Bad Ugly, it’s his timing, loyal fanbase, and undeniable screen presence that have made all the difference.
