Our verdict
Good Bad Ugly gives Ajith Kumar a role that mixes a father's determination with a gangster's past, supported by a cast that includes Trisha Krishnan and Arjun Das. The film's blend of action, crime and comedy may not win over those tired of gangster tropes, but it offers a straightforward story of a man protecting his son. With a 5.8/10 rating from 33 votes on TMDB, it's a middling reception, so go in with measured expectations.
