The Budget of ‘Good Bad Ugly’
However, Good Bad Ugly still has a long way to go before achieving hit status. Reports suggest the film was made on a budget ranging between INR 270 to INR 300 crore (seriously?), meaning it needs to gross at least INR 350 to INR 400 crore worldwide to break even.
While the film has received mixed reviews, Ajith’s fans are loving its numerous tributes to the superstar, his flamboyant performance, and the director’s lively treatment. The opening weekend will be crucial in determining whether the film is on the path to success – especially since Ajith’s last few releases, Thunivu and Vidaamuyarchi, underperformed at the box office.
