Good Bad Ugly Movie Review

Good opening

According to early trade estimates from the Sacnilk website, ‘Good Bad Ugly’ opened with a phenomenal Rs 29.25 crore on its first day (Thursday), driven largely by the Tamil version (Rs 28.15 crore), with the Telugu dubbed version adding Rs 1.1 crore. The film witnessed a dip on Friday, collecting Rs 15 crore, but bounced back over the weekend. On Saturday, the collections rose to Rs 19.75 crore, and on Sunday, the film peaked again with Rs 23.84 crore — highlighting strong word-of-mouth and fan support.



While the Day 5 (Monday) numbers are yet to be confirmed, trade analysts project a decent hold owing to Ajith’s mass appeal and the ensemble cast. The estimated net India total stands at Rs 87.84 crore, indicating a solid performance across regions.

Star-studded cast

Good Bad Ugly boasts a star-studded lineup including Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, Rahul Dev, Yogi Babu, Priya Prakash Varrier, Tinnu Anand, Jackie Shroff, Sunil Varma, and Sayaji Shinde.

Our review

ETimes gave a rating of 3 stars out of 5 for the Ajith starrer and our official 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. And in Adhik, he seems to have found the right director to pull it off. Adhik's films so far have been largely polarising - you either like his style of filmmaking or hate it, with no in-between. But his is definitely a unique voice, especially in the realm of our mass masala films - overloud (but in a very different way compared to someone like Hari) and visually distinct (but poles apart from a Karthik Subbaraj). It is cinema of maximalism, often breaking the third wall, peppered with throwbacks, and with only one goal - to deliver a high every few minutes. More than mass masala, it's max masala!

On the other hand, Ajith Kumar's previous outing was the action thriller 'Vidaamuyarchi', but the film unfortunately received mixed reviews from the audiences and the Trisha starrer failed to create magic at the box office as expected.
