According to early estimates reported by the Sacnilk website, the film has minted Rs 28.50 crore net across all languages in India on its first day, Thursday, April 10, 2025.

Occupancy rates
The film's Tamil version led the charge, recording a strong 79.47% occupancy across shows throughout the day. Night shows alone witnessed a peak occupancy of 88.81%, indicating Ajith's massive fan pull and positive word-of-mouth. The morning, afternoon, and evening shows followed with 73.14%, 81.14%, and 74.80% respectively.

In contrast, the Telugu version of Good Bad Ugly registered a relatively modest 16.98% overall occupancy, with the highest being during night shows at 20.55%. Despite the lower figures in Telugu-speaking regions, the pan-India response has been promising, setting the stage for a strong weekend ahead.
Adhik Ravichandran directed the film, which features an ensemble cast that includes Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, Rahul Dev, Yogi Babu, Priya Prakash Varrier, Jackie Shroff, Tinnu Anand, Sunil Varma, and Sayaji Shinde.
Our review
We gave the film a solid rating of 3 out of 5 and our review reads, “With Good Bad Ugly, director Adhik Ravichandran cooks up an unabashed fan vehicle for Ajith Kumar that's overloud, chaotic and still largely entertaining. The good news is that for Ajith fans, the film is nothing short of a celebration of their idol, with almost every scene a providing a callback to the superstar's older hits. Adhik's approach isn't exactly new. We had Karthik Subbaraj doing something similar with Petta, though the way in which that film packaged in the references now seems more understated compared to this one's in-your-face approach. But the end result is the same: the fans just love it.”
