Ajith Kumar’s latest action-packed entertainer ‘Good Bad Ugly’ is enjoying a stellar run at the box office. After an impressive extended weekend, the film has now entered the Rs 100 crore club in just five days.
According to early estimates reported by the Sacnilk website, ‘Good Bad Ugly’ earned Rs 15 crore on its fifth day (Monday), bringing the total India net collection to Rs 101.30 crore across all languages.
The film opened with a thunderous Rs 29.25 crore on Day 1 and gained momentum over the weekend despite a drop on Friday. The Sunday boost helped the film add Rs 22.3 crore, with the Monday collection showing a healthy hold, considering it was a working day.
Strong Tamil occupancy on Monday sustains momentum
The film registered a solid 52.99% overall Tamil occupancy on Day 5 (April 14), with Chennai leading the way at 73.25% across 1049 shows. Afternoon and evening shows saw the highest footfalls, particularly in Chennai and Madurai. The evening show occupancy in Chennai touched 86%.
Other key regions like Madurai also posted a respectable 48.50% overall occupancy, while Bengaluru lagged behind with 19.25%.
Limited But Consistent Telugu Version Performance
While the Tamil version drives the box office numbers, the Telugu version shows consistent albeit modest figures. Day 5 Telugu occupancy was recorded at 13.39% overall, with marginally higher audience turnout during the afternoon and evening shows.

Check out our review first! We gave the film a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our review reads, “With Good Bad Ugly, director Adhik Ravichandran cooks up an unabashed fan vehicle for Ajith Kumar that’s overloud, chaotic and still largely entertaining. The good news is that for Ajith fans, the film is nothing short of a celebration of their idol, with almost every scene a providing a callback to the superstar’s older hits. Adhik’s approach isn’t exactly new. We had Karthik Subbaraj doing something similar with Petta, though the way in which that film packaged in the references now seems more understated compared to this one’s in-your-face approach. But the end result is the same: the fans just love it.”
