Badass Ravi Kumar Box Office: Himesh Reshammiya’s Film Opens with an Impressive Rs 3 Crore on Day 1

Himesh Reshammiya’s much-anticipated action-musical Badass Ravi Kumar finally hit theatres on February 7, 2025. Directed by Keith Gomes, the film is a spin-off of his 2014 movie The Xposé, bringing back his iconic character, Ravi Kumar. The film's trailer created a lot of buzz, especially with the dialogue, "Tere shareer mein itna khoon nahin hoga..." going viral. This hype seems to have worked in the film’s favour as it took a solid start at the box office.

On its first day, Badass Ravi Kumar collected Rs 3 crore at the Indian box office. The film performed better than its rival release, Loveyapa, which struggled to gain traction. The film’s unique mix of action, music, and comedy has helped it attract cinephiles. If the positive momentum continues, the weekend numbers might be even stronger.

Touted as an ‘80’s type ki picture’, the movie is packed with over-the-top action, dramatic dialogues, and catchy songs. Himesh Reshammiya leads the cast alongside Prabhu Deva, Kirti Kulhari, Johnny Lever, and Sanjay Mishra in important roles. The film also features a special cameo by Sunny Leone, adding to the entertainment factor.

Badass Ravi Kumar marks Himesh Reshammiya’s 10th film as an actor. He made his debut in 2007 with Aap Kaa Surroor and went on to star in films like Karzzzz, Radio, Kajraare, Damadamm!, and Khiladi 786. Despite his popularity as a musician, his acting career has seen limited success, with most of his previous films underperforming at the box office. The film has covered its budget through non-theatrical sources, and only time will tell if it brings success to Himesh’s acting career.
