Good Bad Ugly Targets to Overtake Vettaiyan at Global Box Office

Box Office: Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly Aims to Beat Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan Worldwide

Ajith Kumar’s new action hit Good Bad Ugly has been on fire since it opened on April 10. The film, directed by Adhik Ravichandran and co‑starring Trisha Krishnan, started with a huge ₹51 crore first‑day haul and has kept strong momentum in India and overseas.

Chasing Vettaiyan

• Current total: ₹227 crore worldwide (as of Tuesday).
• Target: ₹240 crore—the lifetime gross of Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan (2024).
• If the pace holds, Good Bad Ugly could finish around ₹245 crore, edging past Vettaiyan.

Competition Outlook

• This Friday: No major Tamil releases, so Ajith’s film keeps the field mostly clear.
• April 25: Mohanlal’s Malayalam film Thudarum opens; its Tamil dubbed version could take some screens but likely small impact.
• May 1: Big test arrives with Suriya’s Retro (romantic‑action, dir. Karthik Subbaraj). Advance bookings open April 27 and could slow Ajith’s run.

What’s Next?

If Good Bad Ugly keeps drawing crowds until Retro lands, it has a real shot at overtaking Vettaiyan and setting a new milestone for Ajith Kumar.
