Good Bad Ugly Box Office Collection Day 6: Ajith Kumar’s Film Sees Dip
Chennai, April 16, 2025 – After a roaring start and strong hold over the weekend, Ajith Kumar’s action-drama Good Bad Ugly has seen a noticeable slowdown on Day 6, reportedly due to the ongoing controversy involving music legend Ilaiyaraaja.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned an estimated ₹6.50 crore net on Tuesday, taking the India net total to ₹107.80 crore. The movie had earlier crossed ₹100 crore on Monday with a strong ₹15 crore collection.
Despite Tuesday’s drop, the film continues to dominate globally:
Music maestro Ilaiyaraaja issued a ₹5 crore legal notice to the producers, accusing them of using his compositions without authorization. In response, producer Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers stated:
“We took permissions from all required music labels. NOCs were obtained. We’ve done things by the book.”
The controversy has gained traction and is believed to have affected the film’s mid-week performance.
Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, Good Bad Ugly stars Ajith Kumar as Red Dragon aka AK, a gangster who seeks redemption for his violent past to reunite with his wife Ramya (Trisha Krishnan) and their son. However, danger forces him to revisit his darker instincts.
| Day | Collection (India Net) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Thu) | ₹29.25 Cr |
| Day 2 (Fri) | ₹14.75 Cr (approx.) |
| Day 3 (Sat) | ₹17.5 Cr |
| Day 4 (Sun) | ₹25.3 Cr |
| Day 5 (Mon) | ₹15 Cr |
| Day 6 (Tue) | ₹6.50 Cr |
| Total (India Net) | ₹107.80 Cr |
With a strong foundation and brand appeal, Good Bad Ugly is expected to continue its run through the second weekend, though further fallout from the Ilaiyaraaja dispute may shape the film’s momentum ahead.
