In the overseas market, Badla has earned Rs 11.96 crore. And, factoring in the worldwide collections of Badla, the film has collected Rs 48.32 crore till date.
As per Adarsh, strong word of mouth publicity from audience has helped the film. In Sujoy Ghosh's intense-thriller, Amitabh plays the role of a lawyer, Badal Gupta. In the movie, Amitabh helps Taapsee Pannu's character, Naina, who has been accused of killing the man she was having an affair with.
Badla is facing stiff competition with Hollywood release, Captain Marvel. The superhero flick has earned over Rs 27 crore in India. Besides, Kartik Aryan and Kriti sanon-starrer Luka Chuppi has also become rock-steady at the box office. Laxman Utekar's Luka Chuppi has raked in Rs 71.48 crore till date.
Badla is expected to rake in crores till Akshay Kumar's much hyped Kesari is released on March 21.
