Tamil actor Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly, which hit theaters on April 10, is turning out to be a sensational box office winner and is already being called a career-defining film for the star. Right from Day 1, the film's performance has been rock-solid and continues to draw crowds in huge numbers across Tamil Nadu. Let’s start comparing the film with other recent major releases in Tamil Nadu, including Ajith's very own Vidaamuyarchi, Vijay's The GOAT, and Rajnikanth's Vettaiyan.

Good Bad Ugly opened with an impressive Rs 28 crore on Day 1, which was slightly behind Vijay’s The GOAT (Rs 30 crore) but higher than Ajith’s own Vidaamuyarchi (Rs 25.5 crore). On Day 2, however, the film saw a dip with Rs 14.5 crore, trailing behind The GOAT (Rs 21 crore) and Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan (Rs 16.5 crore). By Day 3, Good Bad Ugly picked up steam again and collected Rs 18.5 crore. Though it didn’t surpass The GOAT (Rs 27 crore), the momentum continued. Day 4 saw another strong performance with Rs 23.5 crore, though The GOAT stayed slightly ahead at Rs 27.25 crore.

The real surprise came on Day 5, when Good Bad Ugly pulled off a stunning move and outperformed all its rivals. While The GOAT brought in Rs 13.30 crore and Vettaiyan settled at Rs 3 crore, Good Bad Ugly soared with a collection of Rs 16 crore, marking its best single-day advantage in the competition. Of course, that could be attributed to the Ambedkar Jayanthi holiday for sure.
