Badass Ravi Kumar got off to a fast start, but as Day 2 draws to a close, the box office results show a minor decline.
After a spectacular debut, Himesh Reshammiya’s highly anticipated action-packed spin-off of The Xposé suffered a decline in box office receipts on Saturday. Nevertheless, the movie keeps outpacing Loveyapa, demonstrating that viewers are drawn to Reshammiya’s own style of cinematic bluster.
Day 2 Box Office Earnings: A Minor Decline But Continue to Lead
Early estimates from Sacnilk indicate that Badass Ravi Kumar made ₹4.74 crore in total revenue, including ₹1.99 crore on its second day.
Even though this is less than its ₹2.75 crore opening day, the movie is still a powerful force in contrast to Loveyapa, which is having trouble taking off.
Loveyapa, starring Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, could only muster ₹1.16 crore on Day 2, pushing its total to ₹2.31 crore. Despite being a remake of the Tamil hit Love Today, the film hasn’t resonated with audiences as strongly as expected.
Trends in Occupancy: A Varying Experience for Badass Kumar Ravi
With morning showings at 6.74% and a little uptick in the afternoon to 12.01%, the movie’s overall occupancy rate on Saturday was 9.38%. Badass Ravi Kumar is still gaining more traction than its rival, while not having the kind of rise the producers had planned for.

What’s the Difference Between It and The Xposé?
According to Box Office India, The Xposé made ₹1.89 crore on its first day of release in 2014.
Given that Badass Ravi Kumar is positioned as a grander, more action-packed version, its opening day of ₹2.75 crore was a strong indicator of audience interest.
But keeping up the momentum will be crucial. With a reported budget of ₹21 crore, Badass Ravi Kumar needs steady footfalls over the next week to ensure profitability.
Production and Star Power
Prabhu Deva, Manish Wadhwa, Kirti Kulhari, Sanjay Mishra, Sunny Leone, and Saurabh Sachdeva are among the ensemble cast members of the Keith Gomes-directed and Himesh Reshammiya Melodies-produced movie.
Fans’ reactions to the movie have been divided but generally positive due to its seeti-maar language and masala entertainer appeal.
The Unexpected Battle at the Box Office
Bollywood fans had a thrilling day on February 7, 2025, when two very different movies were released on the big screen:
Himesh Reshammiya’s action-packed musical satire Badass Ravi Kumar and Junaid Khan’s love romance Loveyapa.
It was anticipated that Loveyapa’s youthful romance would enchant viewers, but on its first day, Badass Ravi Kumar unexpectedly led the box office.
Who Led the Opening Day Collections?
The Badass of Himesh Reshammiya On its first day, Ravi Kumar exceeded expectations with an amazing ₹2.7 crore.
Audiences are intrigued by the picture because of its outrageous narrative, retro musical components, and oddball action scenes.
However, Loveyapa, a replica of the Tamil classic Love Today, starring Junaid Khan, only made ₹1.3 crore on its first day of release. Even with Aamir Khan’s kid taking center stage, the movie didn’t have much positive word-of-mouth.
Forecast for the Weekend: Will Loveyapa Return?
The true test starts over the weekend. While Loveyapa requires a remarkable comeback to continue in the running, Badass Ravi Kumar appears to have a larger crowd appeal.
Could its collections be boosted by favorable reviews and Valentine’s Day fever? Or will Ravi Kumar, the badass, continue to rule?

Will Ravi Kumar, the Badass, Continue to Gain Ground?
Despite a decline in sales on Day 2, Badass Ravi Kumar has managed to surpass Loveyapa. The true litmus test will be Sunday’s box office results; will it pick up steam again or keep losing ground?

A Broader Bollywood Trend?
These films’ disparate performances point to an intriguing trend: moviegoers are gravitating more toward unusual, masala-heavy entertainers than traditional love dramas.
