Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly movie featured director, Adhik Ravichandran, where a gangster in exile is portrayed as being in exile. He is seen coming back to save his son. However, the director has shown a lot of irrelevant scenes in the movie, which becomes the least outlandish aspect of the movie. The film features an unexpected cameo and has been in the news, as the Ajith Kumar film has been removed from Netflix.

Speaking of the plot related to the movie, the scenes showcase a dreadful gangster who has renounced the world of violence, having made a promise to his wife. He is seen coming out of jail after eighteen years to meet his son, who has been in jail. The story is about who actually put him there and why he was there. The film illustrates how an old tale related to violence affects the entire family.

Ilaiyaraaja's music makes Good Bad Ugly land in a soup

The 138-minute movie beautifully showcases that Ajith is, in fact, the real hero of the movie. He has been known to give all superhit films, and Good Bad Ugly has made it one reason to watch them all for the star. It has been one of the hit films of the star but has been marred by controversy after the famous music composer, Ilaiyaraaja, challenged the Madras High Court. This was because three of his compositions were used in the movie without his knowledge. According to a report by The Screen, composer Ilaiyaraja had initially shown support.

Moviegoers have often stated that Ajith's roles are often called 'AK ' in his movies. It feels fine as they do not expect much from the filmmakers who become a fanboy of 'Thala'. Good Boy Ugly features a multitude of characters, allowing the protagonist to be elevated. However, the movie sadly blurs the lines between reality and fiction. Ajith's character is shown to be like the only gangster who has disowned all his gangs and reached the peak of his crime-related career.

Good Bad Ugly is a shallow film

There are scenes where Ajith is seen driving a car like a racer in his handsome mode, regardless of his attire. There is no connection between the scenes, and it has no emotional depth. However, the film does manage to touch on a few chords related to the father-son duo equation, but the film is overall viewed in a shallow manner. Trisha Krishnan as 'Ramya' is seen as behaving in a particular way. She is suddenly shown to be diplomatic while Arjun Das's hair is set in a typical manner. Is it really for revenge, which is not clear. The director is shown to be a big fan of Ajith Kumar and he has tried his level best to showcase Ajith in a fully packed role.

However, it does not mean that Adhik has not let go of the other aspects of the movie. However, there have been many references related to Ajith's filmography that have been organically woven into a perfect narrative. There have also been questions raised related to whether Good Bad Ugly has been a good film or not.
