Sat Feb 08 08:35:58 UTC 2025: **Himesh Reshammiya’s “Badass Ravikumar” Outperforms Junaid Khan Starrer “Loveyapa” at Box Office**
**MUMBAI, February 8, 2025** – Himesh Reshammiya’s action musical, “Badass Ravikumar,” enjoyed a strong opening day at the Indian box office, outpacing the much-anticipated release of “Loveyapa,” starring Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor. Early estimates suggest “Badass Ravikumar” raked in ₹2.49 crore net, marking the biggest opening of Reshammiya’s career. The film, a spin-off of 2014’s “The Xpose,” boasted a 14.55% overall occupancy rate, exceeding expectations for an 80s-style action entertainer. In contrast, “Loveyapa” managed a comparatively modest opening of approximately ₹1.33 crore net. While the weekend’s performance will ultimately determine the long-term success of both films, “Badass Ravikumar” currently holds a significant advantage. Directed by Keith Gomes, the film also stars Prabhu Deva, Kirti Kulhari, and several other prominent actors. Although critical reception has been mixed, the strong opening suggests substantial audience interest.
