Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, ‘Good Bad Ugly’ stars Ajith Kumar in a triple-shaded role and has been widely appreciated for its stylized action and mass appeal. Our review for the film reads, “In Adhik, he seems to have found the right director to pull it off. Adhik’s films so far have been largely polarising – you either like his style of filmmaking or hate it, with no in-between. But his is definitely a unique voice, especially in the realm of our mass masala films – overloud (but in a very different way compared to someone like Hari) and visually distinct (but poles apart from a Karthik Subbaraj).”
