Although Good Bad Ugly saw a 34.71 per cent drop in its day-five collection compared to its Sunday earnings of Rs 22.3 crore, it still marked the highest first-Monday earnings for an Ajith Kumar film in comparison to his last five releases. While Viswasam (2019) minted Rs 8.45 crore, Nerkonda Paarvai (2019) earned Rs 7.54 crore, and Valimai (2022), Thunivu (2023) and Vidaamuyarchi collected Rs 5.50 crore, Rs 10.8 crore and Rs 3.8 crore, respectively.

During the day, the Ajith Kumar-starrer recorded an overall occupancy of 52.99 per cent in the Tamil market. While the morning shows began with 37.12 per cent occupancy, the rate improved drastically during the afternoon shows, reaching 63.85 per cent. However, the figure dipped slightly as the day progressed, with evening shows registering 59.41 per cent and night screenings seeing 51.59 per cent occupancy.

In his review of the movie, SCREEN’s Avinash Ramachandran wrote: “Even if the writing is shallow, and most of the performances, except an Ajith showreel for the ages, are functional, the film is gloriously engaging.”
