Badass Ravi Kumar Targets ₹5 Cr Opening, Overshadowing Loveyapa

Himesh Reshammiya’s latest venture, Badass Ravi Kumar, is proving to be a major hit, having sold an impressive 30,000 tickets across the top three national chains—PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis—as of Thursday at 5 PM. With this momentum, the film is projected to surpass 45,000 ticket sales in these chains alone, demonstrating its strong audience appeal.
This action-packed entertainer is shaping up to be one of the biggest surprises of 2025. The surge in advance bookings can largely be attributed to the film’s captivating trailer, which resonated well with viewers, coupled with a chart-topping song titled Taj Mahal that has further fueled excitement. In comparison, Badass Ravi Kumar is outshining its competition, Loveyapa, which has sold only 4,500 tickets by the same time.
The anticipation surrounding Badass Ravi Kumar is palpable, with projections for its opening day earnings estimated to reach around Rs 5 crore. This is particularly impressive considering the film was made on a budget of just Rs 20 crore. Such a strong box office performance not only highlights the film’s potential for success but also showcases Himesh Reshammiya’s ability to connect with audiences through engaging content and music.
As Badass Ravi Kumar continues to generate buzz and attract viewers, it seems poised to carve out a significant space in the cinematic landscape of 2025. With a combination of action, engaging storytelling, and catchy music, this film is set to keep audiences entertained and is definitely one to watch in theaters.
As far as reviews of these two films are concerned, both have created a good buzz around it in the media, check what Taran Adarsh has to speak about the movie:
