After a strong start, the action-musical nosedives to daily earnings in lakhs
February 15, 2025: Badass Ravikumar Box Office Collection Day 8: Fading at the Box Office?
Himesh Reshammiya’s action-musical Badass Ravikumar has taken a major hit at the box office, especially after Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava entered the competition.
Despite opening with ₹2.75 crore on February 7, the film has failed to retain momentum and has now dropped to mere lakhs per day.
On Day 8 (February 14), the film collected only ₹2 lakh, bringing its total domestic net earnings to ₹8.22 crore, according to Sacnilk.

Box Office Breakdown: Badass Ravikumar vs Chhaava
| Day | Badass Ravikumar (₹ Crore) | Chhaava (₹ Crore) |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | 2.75 | 31 |
| Day 8 | 0.02 | — |
| Total (India Net) | 8.22 | — |
| Worldwide Gross | 10.78 | — |
While Badass Ravikumar has grossed ₹10.78 crore globally, it has struggled in India and abroad, with only ₹1 crore coming from overseas markets.
Why is Badass Ravikumar Struggling?
- Stiff Competition: The release of Chhaava has completely sidelined Badass Ravikumar.
- Drop in Audience Interest: After its opening weekend, the film saw a 60%+ drop in collections.
- Other Releases: The re-release of Sanam Teri Kasam and Junaid Khan-Khushi Kapoor’s Loveyapa have also added to the competition.
- Niche Appeal: While the film was promoted as a throwback to 80s Bollywood action films, it failed to connect with mass audiences beyond Himesh’s fan base.
Trade Experts React: “Masaledar but Niche”
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh gave the movie 3.5 stars, calling it:
“A wild, crazy, over-the-top ride that transports you to the cinema of 1980s… Don’t ask questions or look for logic… Extra points for its high-energy songs and seetimaar dialogues.”
However, despite this retro appeal, the film has failed to sustain box office numbers.
What’s Next for Badass Ravikumar?
- With a sharp decline in daily earnings, the film might struggle to cross ₹12 crore lifetime.
- If it continues at this rate, it could exit theatres in its second week unless there is a weekend recovery.
Final Verdict: Can It Recover?
With Chhaava ruling the box office and audiences moving on, Badass Ravikumar seems to be on its way out.
Can the film pull off a miracle recovery, or is it set to become one of 2025’s biggest box office disappointments? Stay tuned for more updates! 🎬
