Ajith Kumar is enjoying a spectacular box office run with his latest action-comedy Good Bad Ugly (GBU). The Tamil superstar’s film is racing towards the ₹125 crore mark in Tamil Nadu and has already crossed ₹200 crore globally, making it the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2025 so far.
Ajith Shines in a Massy Entertainer
Directed by Adhik Ravichandran and produced by Mythri Movie Makers (in their Tamil debut), the film features Ajith as a retired gangster who returns to crime after his son is wrongfully jailed. The ensemble cast includes Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, Sunil, Karthikeya Dev, Priya Prakash Varrier, and Prabhu, among others. Released on April 10, GBU arrived in both standard and EPIQ formats, delivering a visually rich and adrenaline-pumping experience.

Audience vs Critics: Fans Win This Round
Though the film received mixed reviews for its masala plot and callbacks to Ajith’s past hits, fans have embraced it wholeheartedly. The film’s stylized action, catchy soundtrack by GV Prakash Kumar, and vibrant cinematography by Abhinandhan Ramanujan are major crowd-pullers. Ajith’s screen presence remains the main attraction, keeping cinema halls packed.

Overseas Success & OTT Deal
Good Bad Ugly is also performing strongly overseas, especially in the US, UK, and other regions with large Indian communities. With no major competitors currently in theaters, its global run is likely to stay strong for at least another week.
Netflix has reportedly acquired streaming rights for ₹95 crore, so fans who missed the theatrical experience can soon catch it online.
