The Bollywood movie Badass Ravi Kumar, starring popular singer and actor Himesh Reshammiya, has shown a positive performance at the box office in its first few days. By the end of its first four days, the film earned nearly ₹6.75 crore across India.
According to industry tracker Saknilk, the movie made around ₹40 lakh on its fifth day. On Monday, the film’s overall occupancy (or audience turnout) for Hindi shows was 5.85%. This indicates that while the movie's performance on Monday wasn’t as strong as it could have been, it was still holding its ground.
The film had a better showing on Tuesday, February 11, with an occupancy rate of 7.02%. On the fourth day, the movie earned approximately ₹61 lakh. This is a positive sign, especially for a film that's still in its early stages of release.

Badass Ravi Kumar is facing direct competition from LoveYaapa, a romantic comedy starring Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan. Despite this, it seems to be making a decent impact in cinemas.
The movie was released in theaters on Friday, February 7. On its opening day, Badass Ravi Kumar had a solid start, earning ₹2.75 crore at the box office, which is a good start for any movie.
Directed by Keith Gomes and produced by Himesh Reshammiya Melodies, Badass Ravi Kumar marks Himesh Reshammiya’s return to Bollywood after some time. Besides Himesh, the film features an interesting cast including Prabhu Deva, Manish Wadhwa, Kirti Kulhari, Sanjay Mishra, Sunny Leone, and Saurabh Sachdeva in prominent roles.
Originally, Badass Ravi Kumar was supposed to release in October last year, but for reasons that are not fully clear, its release was delayed. However, now that it’s out in cinemas, it’s gathering attention and audiences are curious about how it will perform in the coming days.
The story of Badass Ravi Kumar is set in the 1980s and follows a singer-turned-actor. The plot revolves around his journey as he returns to play the character Ravi Kumar, originally portrayed in the 2014 period thriller The Expose by Anant Mahadevan, but in a new movie set in the same universe.
