After a long break from acting, Himesh Reshammiya is back with Badass Ravi Kumar, which has been creating buzz ever since its trailer launch in January. Set in the 1980s, the film promises a larger-than-life experience with powerful dialogues and the catchy hit song Taj Mahal. Certified U/A by the CBFC, it runs for 2 hours and 21 minutes.
Badass Ravi Kumar is set for an all-India release under AA Films, with an initial screen count of around 1,750 screens, though this could increase based on demand. The advance booking, which opened on Tuesday evening, has shown a surprising spike in interest. By Wednesday at 7 PM, the film had already sold approximately 10,000 tickets across major national chains like PVR Inox and Cinepolis.
The final advance booking numbers are expected to reach 45,000 tickets, driven by the excitement around its dramatic trailer and strategic pricing of Rs 149 per ticket across the board for Friday. Dubbed “Ravi Kumar Day” by some fans, this pricing move appears to be paying off.
Based on current trends, the film is tracking towards an impressive opening day collection of Rs 4.50 crore to Rs 5.50 crore — a remarkable figure for a Himesh Reshammiya-led project. With its controlled budget, Badass Ravi Kumar has good prospects for profitability, as organic audience traction continues without significant marketing pushes.
The film’s appeal extends beyond metro audiences, with notable traction in mass circuits where Reshammiya’s music has long been popular. If momentum sustains, the film could gross around Rs 15 crore over its first weekend, even with steady trends on Saturday and Sunday.
While final predictions for the opening day will become clearer by Thursday evening, all signs point to a solid Rs 5 crore start for Badass Ravi Kumar, marking a successful return for Himesh Reshammiya on the silver screen.
