Adhik Ravichandran, emboldened by the success of Mark Antony, returns with a loud, chaotic musical mash-up: GOOD BAD UGLY.
It’s Ajith, Ajith, Ajith—everywhere, in colorful costumes, with constant callbacks to his older films. While Trisha is present, she brings nothing new to the table, delivering a passable performance.
The film is packed with a galaxy of stars from across India—Tom Chacko, Sunil, Jackie Shroff, Simran, Tinu Anand, and more—all playing unbelievably silly dons. But despite the chaos, Arjun Das steals the show with his presence.
Abinandhan Ramanujam’s striking visuals add a much-needed touch of class. On the flip side, GV Prakash’s soundtrack does everything it can to make your eardrums ache. When the intermission hits, the sudden silence feels like a graveyard.
The title song “GBU” is foot-tapping fun—but the rest feel like rehashes from a zillion other Tamil movies.
And yet… you’ll find yourself entertained.
You might even laugh at yourself for not being able to fully ridicule or trash this silly spectacle.
The Good: Visuals, Ajith, and the title
The Bad: The script
The Ugly: Your ears after the soundtrack
GBU — You’ll survive. Maybe even smile.
