Badass Ravikumar Day 3 Box Office: Himesh Reshammiya’s Film Faces a Dip After a Strong Start

Himesh Reshammiya’s action-packed musical Badass Ravikumar saw a decline in its box office numbers on Day 3. The film had a promising start, surpassing Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor’s Loveyapa on its opening day. However, the momentum seems to be slowing down as the weekend ended.

Directed by Keith Gomes, Badass Ravikumar took a decent opening with ?2.75 crore on Day 1, beating Loveyapa’s ?1.15 crore. The film remained stable on Day 2 with ?2 crore, but Sunday witnessed a dip, bringing in only ?1.17 crore, taking the total to ?5.92 crore.

The movie recorded an overall 12.51% occupancy in Hindi screenings on Day 3, with morning shows seeing only 5.22%, afternoon shows at 12.81%, and evening shows performing slightly better at 18.41%. Despite this decline, it continues to stay ahead of Loveyapa, which has earned ?4.25 crore so far.

The film has received mixed reviews. While some fans are enjoying Himesh’s larger-than-life character, others find the storyline unrealistic. Social media reactions have been divided, with some calling it a fun, masala entertainer and others labeling it “illogical.” However, Himesh’s music has been a highlight, attracting his loyal fanbase to theatres.

Produced under Himesh Reshammiya Melodies, the film features a stellar supporting cast, including Prabhu Deva, Kirti Kulhari, Simona J, Saurabh Sachdeva, Sanjay Mishra, and Johnny Lever. It is a spin-off of the 2014 film The Xposé and continues The Xposé Universe.

Kirti Kulhari, who plays a pivotal role, shared her thoughts in an interview with a media portal.

I am seen as a serious actor, but I wanted to break that perception. This film was my chance to step out of my comfort zone.
