Himesh Reshammiya's 'Badass Ravikumar' Struggles After Strong Opening Weekend

The action-musical spin-off sees a sharp decline in box office earnings as it competes with romantic comedy 'Loveyapa'.

'Badass Ravikumar' earned ₹2.75 crore on its opening day but dropped significantly to ₹50 lakh by Day 5, with a total domestic collection of ₹7.25 crore.
The film, directed by Keith Gomes, is a spin-off of the 2014 film 'The Xposé' and features Himesh Reshammiya reprising his role as Ravi Kumar.
Competing with Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor's 'Loveyapa', both films underperformed, though 'Badass Ravikumar' maintained a narrow lead with better weekend figures.
Critics and audiences have given mixed reviews to 'Badass Ravikumar', with some praising its music and action while others criticized its lack of coherence.
The film was postponed from its original October 2024 release date and has performed better in tier-2 and tier-3 cities and single-screen theaters.
