Ajith Kumar goes full throttle on the fan service pedal in Good Bad Ugly and we’re here to break it all down.

In this episode of Paisa Vasool, we dive into the chaos that is Adhik Ravichandran’s latest film – from the endless intro scenes and John Wick cameos to the questionable logic and over-the-top villains. Is it bad? Is it ugly? It sure ain't good. Tune in as we unpack what might be the most absurd Tamil film we’ve reviewed yet.
