Ajith Kumar's recently released action-comedy Good Bad Ugly hit the big screens on April 10, 2025, amid sky-high expectations. The film, directed by Adhik Ravichandran and produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with T-Series Films, opened to a thunderous response at the box office making it one of the biggest openers of the year in Tamil cinema. After a good start at the box office, Ajith’s latest action comedy shows good consistency at the box office on day 2.
The film's box office collections are impressive, with a gross of 53 Cr worldwide on the opening day, and 80 Cr+ worldwide for 2 days. In Tamil Nadu, the film opened with a 30 Cr+ gross, and on day 2, the film held well despite being a weekday, with estimates around 17 Cr. The film is expected to take a big jump from today, and the advances are also higher than the opening day. Good Bad Ugly aims for huge numbers in the next 3 days, as Saturday, Sunday form the regular weekend, and Monday is the Tamil New Year holiday.
The film stars Ajith Kumar in the role of Red Dragon, a feared gangster with a comic edge. Trisha Krishnan, Arjun Das, Rahul Dev, Yogi Babu, and Priya Prakash Varrier are also part of the cast, with veteran actors Jackie Shroff, Tinnu Anand, Sayaji Shinde, and Sunil Varma in key roles. The film's music, by GV Prakash, has also received praise due to the energetic and massy soundtrack.
The film's success is expected to continue, with Netflix acquiring the digital streaming rights of Good Bad Ugly for a staggering Rs 95 crore - the highest OTT deal ever for an Ajith-starrer. The film is expected to premiere on the platform in five languages by May. With its impressive box office collections and successful OTT deal, Good Bad Ugly is shaping up to be one of the biggest hits of the year. The film's success is a testament to Ajith Kumar's enduring popularity and the appeal of the action-comedy genre.
