Good Bad Ugly Box Office Collection Day 7: Ajith Kumar’s film Good Bad Ugly has fallen at the box office after a steady run. The film completed its first week run at the theatres. While it continues to rule cinema screens across Tamil Nadu, the filmmakers recently received a legal notice from composer Ilayaraja, alleging usage of his songs without authorisation.
While many thought the legal notice might bring down the film business, the film is seemingly doing well despite a drop in earnings.

The total business made by Ajith's film is estimated to be around ₹112.31 crore. However, these are live data from the website and are subject to changes. The final figures will be out after the night shows across regions.
On Wednesday, Good Bad Ugly had an overall 21.92% occupancy in Tamil Nadu. Though it is lower than the previous day, the film still holds the highest occupancy among Tamil films released this year.

On Tuesday, Good Bad Ugly had an India Net Collection of ₹ 108.30 crore. Its Worldwide Collection was ₹ 180 crore while its Overseas Collection was ₹ 52.50 crore. The India Gross Collection was 127.50 crore.
