The OTT release had reportedly been postponed several times earlier due to issues involving digital rights and release planning.
However, with everything now finalized, the film is ready to make its streaming debut.
Its arrival on OTT is expected to help the movie connect with a much broader audience, especially those who enjoy commercial masala entertainers and were unable to catch it on the big screen.
Badass Ravi Kumar Box Office Performance
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, Badass Ravi Kumar managed to post a decent performance at the box office.
According to early reports, the film earned around Rs 5 to 7 crore on its opening day, giving it a strong start.
It reportedly performed particularly well in mass circuits and smaller centers, where audiences responded positively to its loud, larger-than-life entertainment style.
The movie also saw improved footfalls during its opening weekend, driven mainly by Himesh Reshammiya’s loyal fanbase and viewers looking for a nostalgic commercial entertainer.
Reports further suggest that the film had already recovered much of its budget before release through music rights and other non-theatrical deals, making it a financially safe venture for the producers.
