    Peak Brainrot

    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.

    Ajith's Charisma Can't Save a Flawed Second Half

    "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.

    Nothing but Ajith with no screenplay or other moments

    Good things first and the only good thing about this movie is its story .. a decent storyline which has a good meat for AJITH as an actor ...but the entire storyline is completely spoiled by an atrocious screenplay with rehashes of past Ajith movies, too loud unnecessary BGMs and irritating non related old hit songs for every character in the movie... Screenplay is a total mess like typical Adhik movie (remember AAA Simbu movie...Adhik is back...) making the movie a very tedious and irritating watch.. over hyped in the name of fan boy and not expected Ajith in such a movie of self proclamation hype from first to end scene... Irritating bullet firings from all directions with absolutely no logic... Villain Arjun Das has as usual given his best but looks a big misfit... As usual Jackie Shroff and few other villains too come and go in blink and miss with tantrums of Ajith.... In fact we would have never seen Ajith in self tantrums in any of his previous films like this....but in every scene becomes too irritating.... The movie is nothing but some bits and pieces of scenes with nonlogical connection into a decent storyline... Simran in few scenes irrelevant but looks gorgeous ..... Prasanna in a insignificant role.... Strictly only if you want to watch Ajith in all scenes in slow motion hype...

    Adhik's AK

    The story's got a few bits that'll tickle your fancy, nothing mind-blowing, but not a total dog's breakfast either. The narration's proper lively - classic Adhik Ravichandran stuff - flashy, loud, and full of beans.

    The screenplay tries to throw in a few curveballs - some land with a bang, others just fizzle. The first half? Quite the cracker. Second half? Bit of a snooze-fest, if we're honest. The climax saves it from going completely pear-shaped. Ajith's die-hard fans will be chuffed, no doubt, but for the average punter, it's just a middling watch.

    Ajith's smashing in a role that fits him like a glove. Trisha's looking like a right stunner and puts in a tidy performance. The rest of the gang do the job, no faff, no fuss.

    The background score's got some kick in a few scenes, not too shabby. Cinematography and production design? Decent enough - nothing to write home about, but not half bad.

    All in all, give it a go this weekend if you fancy a bit of popcorn and telly - just don't rock up with sky-high hopes.

    The Boss of gang films is back

    Once again Ajith Kumar makes this film watchable and ajith once again plays the role as a gangster. If you are looking for a action pack thriller movie that this is the film you should watch. If you like his gangster film Billa then please go and watch this film. Arjun Das who acts as the bad guy really was good, he also made this film watchable.

    This film is way better than his early film " VidaaMuyarchi". I still say that Valimai is his best film in recent years.

    He also looks very good in this film and I the film picks up near the first half and follows right to the end. Very fast film from my point of view.
