Want to watch the Ajith starrer?
Check out our review first! We gave the film a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our review reads, “With Good Bad Ugly, director Adhik Ravichandran cooks up an unabashed fan vehicle for Ajith Kumar that's overloud, chaotic and still largely entertaining. The good news is that for Ajith fans, the film is nothing short of a celebration of their idol, with almost every scene a providing a callback to the superstar's older hits. Adhik's approach isn't exactly new. We had Karthik Subbaraj doing something similar with Petta, though the way in which that film packaged in the references now seems more understated compared to this one's in-your-face approach. But the end result is the same: the fans just love it.�?br/>On the other hand, Ajith's previous outing was the action thriller film 'Vidaamuyarchi' which had Trisha in the female lead. The movie unfortunately received mixed reviews from the audiences and did underwhelming box office performances. With 'Good Bad Ugly', it can be surely said that Ajith Kumar has made his massive comeback after a series of underwhelming movies such as 'Thunivu', 'Valimai', and many other recent films of the superstar.
