(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Ajith Kumar's high-octane action thriller 'Good Bad Ugly' continues its solid run at the box office, collecting an impressive Rs 144.63 crore in India net within 15 days of release. According to estimates by the Sacnilk website, the film earned Rs 1.25 crore on its fifteenth day across all languages, maintaining a steady pace in its third week. Strong opening Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, the film opened strongly with Rs 29.25 crore on Day 1, with its Tamil version contributing Rs 28.15 crore. Despite a predictable dip over weekdays, the movie bounced back on weekends, posting Rs 22.3 crore on Day 4 and continuing to draw decent footfalls in the second week. Good Bad Ugly | Song - OG Sambavam Here's a breakdown of the collections: Week 1 total: Rs 119.15 crore Week 2 (Days 8–14): Rs 23.23 crore Day 15 (April 24): Rs 1.25 crore (early estimate) Decent occupancy on day 15 The film recorded a Tamil occupancy rate of 17.43% on Day 15, with peak numbers in the afternoon (20.41%) and evening (18.98%) shows. Morning and night shows stood at 12.29% and 18.02% respectively, indicating consistent interest among viewers. 'Good Bad Ugly' features an ensemble cast including Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, Rahul Dev, Yogi Babu, Priya Prakash Varrier, Jackie Shroff, Sunil Varma, and Sayaji Shinde. ETimes review for the film reads, 'But all said and done, this is an out-and-out Ajith show, and the actor seems to have had great fun revisiting the iconic moments from his previous blockbusters. In his last few films (especially his previous film, Vidaamuyarchi), he seemed to have made a conscious decision to pull back on hero glorification. While such an approach did get him a few admirers among the general audience, fans were largely underwhelmed. And this one seems to be Ajith doing a course correction to keep fans happy. And in Adhik, he seems to have found the right director to pull it off. Adhik's films so far have been largely polarising - you either like his style of filmmaking or hate it, with no in-between.'

Good Bad Ugly Movie Review Steady run into the second week According to data from the Sacnilk website, 'Good Bad Ugly' earned approximately Rs 2 crore on its twelfth day (April 21, 2025) across all languages.

ETimes verdict We gave the film a decent rating of 3 stars and our review reads, 'In Adhik, he seems to have found the right director to pull it off. Adhik's films so far have been largely polarising - you either like his style of filmmaking or hate it, with no in-between. But his is definitely a unique voice, especially in the realm of our mass masala films - overloud (but in a very different way compared to someone like Hari) and visually distinct (but poles apart from a Karthik Subbaraj). It is cinema of maximalism, often breaking the third wall, peppered with throwbacks, and with only one goal - to deliver a high every few minutes. More than mass masala, it's max masala!'
