The Good

Ajith Kumar’s sheer charisma dominates every frame. He’s clearly having fun on screen—and for the first time in years, it shows.

This might just be his most entertaining film in recent memory. The vibe, the energy—Ajith owns the screen.

Retro song placements, combined with a powerful background score by GV Prakash

Kumar, light up the theatre. Pure goosebumps for fans!

A wild mashup of Ajith’s iconic moments—from callbacks to past films to stylish references, it’s a celebration for hardcore Thala fans.

Director Adhik Ravichandran delivers what feels like a full-blown fanboy tribute to Thala. It's Mark Antony energy—but this time, it’s all Ajith.

A must-watch in theatres. This is a crowd movie. The cheers, the whistles—this is cinema for celebration.

The Bad

Most of the supporting characters feel sidelined, added only to amplify Ajith’s heroism.

Some characters had serious potential, but were left underutilized.

It leans heavily into “style over substance”—which may not appeal to everyone.

The Ugly

Many dialogues are recycled from Ajith’s past films, which only true fans will recognize and enjoy.

While nostalgic, the script doesn’t offer anything new in terms of punchy or fresh lines. It’s more of a remix than a reinvention.

Final Verdict

If you're a die-hard Thala fan, this is your movie. Go for the theatre experience, the vibes, the retro BGMs, and the mass moments.

If you're not a fan? It’s an average entertainer, held up almost entirely by Ajith’s screen presence and GV Prakash’s music.

Verdict: Watch it in a packed theatre. That’s where Good Bad Ugly truly shines.
