Ajith Kumar's much-awaited action thriller Good Bad Ugly is showing no signs of slowing down! With just two days left for its grand release, the film is on a rampage at the advance booking counters. Featuring Ajith in a triple role for the first time, this stylish actioner has already started rewriting the 2025 box office charts.

In a shocking yet impressive move, Good Bad Ugly has overtaken Salman Khan’s Sikandar and the Sankranthi blockbuster Sankranthiki Vasthunam in Day 1 pre-sales. While both films had advance bookings hovering around ₹10 crores, Ajith’s film has stormed ahead with ₹12 crores, securing the 5th position in the list of highest Day 1 advance bookings of 2025, and it still has 2 more days to go!

If the current momentum continues, all eyes are on its next big target: Vicky Kaushal’s historic hit Chhaava, which opened with ₹20 crores in advance bookings. With the current booking pace and fan frenzy, Good Bad Ugly is poised to chase that 4th spot in no time.

Interestingly, Ajith’s own previous film, Vidaamuyarchi, still holds the 3rd spot with ₹28.75 crores in pre-sales. It remains to be seen whether Good Bad Ugly can surpass that and aim for the top 2, currently held by Game Changer (₹30 crores) and the reigning No.1 L2: Empuraan, starring Mohanlal (₹52 crores).
