Himesh Reshammiya makes his big-screen comeback after five years with Badass Ravi Kumar, marking his 10th Bollywood outing at 51. This action-comedy spoof is drawing significant attention at the box office.
The film has recorded impressive pre-sales, selling 15,000 tickets by Thursday 3 PM. If this pace continues, Badass Ravi Kumar could hit 40,000 tickets in national chains and an opening day collection of ₹5.75-6 crores, with a ₹20 crore+ weekend on the cards.

Badass Ravi Kumar is looking to decimate the much-hyped Loveyapa.
While Thandel, starring Naga Chaitanya, is also in the mix, the real battle at the Bollywood box office will be between Badass Ravi Kumar and Loveyapa. Given the current trends, Himesh’s film is miles ahead and poised for a strong opening weekend.
