Good Bad Ugly

"Good Bad Ugly" (2025) delivers a high-octane first half that serves as a thrilling tribute to Ajith Kumar's star power, but the film's second half stumbles, ultimately falling short of its initial promise. While Ajith is terrific and the film caters to his fanbase, its narrative inconsistencies and forced elements detract from the overall experience.

Ajith Kumar is undoubtedly the film's biggest strength. He commands the screen with his charisma and delivers a performance that will undoubtedly thrill his fans. The first half is fast-paced and energetic, showcasing Ajith's action prowess and screen presence in a way that feels like a well-crafted tribute to his filmography.

However, the film's narrative begins to unravel in the second half. The plot becomes convoluted and lacks the focus of the first half. Forced elements and contrived situations are introduced, disrupting the flow of the story and making it feel less organic. The pacing becomes uneven, and the film struggles to maintain the same level of excitement and engagement.

While the film offers plenty of fan service, catering to Ajith's established image, it comes at the expense of a well-rounded and compelling narrative. The supporting characters, while competent, are often underdeveloped and their motivations remain unclear.

The film's technical aspects are generally adequate, with decent cinematography and a fitting soundtrack. However, these elements cannot fully compensate for the film's narrative shortcomings.

Overall, "Good Bad Ugly" (2025) is a mixed bag. Ajith Kumar's terrific performance and the fast-paced first half are undeniable strengths. However, the film's messy and forced second half prevents it from being a truly satisfying cinematic experience.

This is gonna be short review, as nothing worth a praise can be said about this brainless action movie. Even for Ajith Fans, they should devoid themselves from watching a underwhelming action movie with no story or charisma whatsoever.

The movie seems like a slideshow of Ajith beating the hell out of villains with over the top action and making his fans happy on the cost of baseless product that runs for 135 minutes.

Totally a skippable movie and a big disappointment. I wish I could get my valuable 2 hours back. There are lots of other good movies, be it action or amy other genre, watch them again instead of this.

My Rating : 3/10.

One of the worst movie, I have ever seen in my life. There is no story at all. Only Ajith sir presence makes film to watch. Unnecessary elevation shots and irrelevant references and songs with movie. Only fans can watch this movie, just to shout and let their throat get damage. Nothing will connect with general audience and family. If you want to shout with your friends, you can watch this 2 and half hours, insta reel. Such a worst direction done by Adhik ravichandran, he fools the fan and audience by adding retro songs and old movie references. If we continue to encourage these kind of movies, our kollywood would never make a best PAN indian movie like other industries. My sincere request to directors that is to focus on story and content. Don't focus on the hero's fanbase. Try to make some quality films.

So unexpectedly got to watch 'Good Bad Ugly' In Theaters Starring Ajith Kumar in lead,written and directed by Adhik Ravichandran. So overall my experience of watching ajith was fun but overall experience with film was seriously underwhelming. This Ajith's one man show basically sums up with multiple title cards,irrelevant placement of old song's,bad technicalities,weird character setups,heavy loads of elevation and usage of the word AK that just doesn't land perfectly.

So going in Detail i want to divide into two halfs,the first half from the first second itself the film starts up setting the characters of protagonist and the remaining cast,and none of the proceedings feel effective but still manages to hook us partially through some random fight sequences. Then comes the Interval block which was really good and entertaining,but till that the it was middling experience. After a fine interval expected a good second half.

But the film again proceeds in the same random way where the characters and their motives feels nothing. The second half pile up some good laughs and whistle worthy moments. Some decision's took during this half although doesn't make sense but they were fun to watch. But the climax was just a overcooked mess,which ends in a most basic way possible.

Coming to the performances,The biggest and only reason to watch this is definitely Ajith kumar. He delivers a powerhouse performance which seriously justifies the overall euphoria created. His performance completely made the film watchable. Remaining performances and their writings was just half baked. Trisha was decent. Arjun das tries but the whole writing of his character was underwhelming. And remaining cast was just there,and some were just there because of ajith because their work is to elevate ajith in every situation possible.

Coming to the technical aspects,i was really concerned regarding this and successfully adhik didn't disappoint me in this thing a whole. The budget was just kept for the showcase of artificial production values. Weird as F costumes which just seem so bizarre and irritating. Collides with a camerawork of random takes and shakes in every angle possible,and without hesitation i can state this that more than the proceedings of story the camera moved. And ofcourse coming to the music of Gv Prakash Kumar,it was just basic and i never thought i'll used this term with him but it goes loud sometimes. The few seconds of anirudh's 'aaluma doluma' in climax brought more vibe than the whole score of gv in the film.

And coming to the writer and director adhik ravichandran,see i didn't really except anything from him or movie. But he really succeeds in few moments bringing out some really entertaining sequences,but overall the treatment he served in the name of fan service was felt partially here and there due to random choices,underwhelming character writings. And and if you think simran in kill bill costume is a surprise cameo,Adhik blends the cinematic liberty with AI or animation whatever which makes your jaw drop which may work with few but seriously you are not prepared for that.

Overall ajith delivers every second and frame who definitely standout more than a backbone, this film may offer a fan service or celebration that ofcourse works with the fans of the star and also may end up as a decent film for some,but for me the film was neither good nor ugly but felt MID.

This movie is equivalent to watching 60 instagram reels. More brainrot than reels.

From the beginning, the unwanted over hype to the character spoiled the movie to the core. And he just walks, talks. Does absolutely nothing, over hype overkill. Every character was ill developed, no character had good acting. Even Ajith Trisha acted insanely bad and worst in their career. Every actor had only one line of character and they stuck to it. Peakest BS was the son character.

"Movie for the fans" - please do not make stupidity a thing for fans. We fans like good acting from our favourite heroes, good script selection from our favourite heroes and overall good cinema from our favourite heroes. Mass is not everything. And... this kinda mass is not worth looking at.
