The Tamil action film has sparked a global buzz with animated tributes and mass appeal but not everyone’s impressed.

Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly

Ajith Kumar returns to full mass mode in Good Bad Ugly, a high-octane action drama

Mythri Movie Makers

Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly hit theatres with all the fireworks one expects from a star-driven entertainer. Directed by self-proclaimed Ajith fan Adhik Ravichandran, the film has sparked a flood of reactions, most of them split straight down the middle. While die-hard fans are hailing it as a “mass” comeback for the star, critics are pointing out the film’s uneven storytelling and over-the-top fan service.

Across social media, Ajith fans have declared the film a winner. Many are celebrating his powerful entry, catchy songs, and scenes that reference his past blockbusters. A user wrote, “Violence. Violence. Violence. Thala is back,” quoting one of the film’s many callback dialogues. Another praised the nostalgia-filled interaction between Ajith and Simran, calling it one of the film’s standout moments. The remix of Ilamai Idho and the song God Bless U have also become instant hits among audiences.

However, critics have a more restrained take. The general consensus is that while Good Bad Ugly offers plenty of moments for fans to cheer, it doesn’t do much beyond that. Ajith plays Red Dragon aka AK, a gangster who surrenders for the sake of his son and returns to action when the boy is kidnapped. The first half, packed with slick action and star-powered moments, moves quickly. But the second half, filled with flashbacks, dragged-out scenes, and a cluttered villain list, loses momentum.

A common complaint is the number of villains including Arjun Das, Jackie Shroff, Rahul Dev, Shine Tom Chacko, and others, none of whom get enough screen time to make an impact. Arjun Das, in a double role, especially left critics underwhelmed. Trisha’s character is also seen as underwritten, serving more as a plot device than a fully realised role.

What has raised eyebrows even further are the animated cameos. From John Wick to Money Heist’s Professor and Don Lee from The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil, the film takes wild creative liberties. While fans in theatres cheered, some critics questioned the legality and necessity of these references.

Despite all this, Good Bad Ugly is being praised for its technical aspects, GV Prakash’s music, especially during elevation scenes, and Abinandhan Ramanujam’s stylish cinematography.

In short, if you're an Ajith fan, this film gives you everything you could want. For everyone else, it’s a loud, chaotic, and overindulgent ride that might be harder to sit through.
