Ajith Kumar’s highly anticipated action-comedy Good Bad Ugly, directed by Adhik Ravichandran, is set to hit theatres on January 10, 2025, coinciding with the Pongal festival. These reports were reaffirmed by this release date, finally ending the confusion surrounding the film and when it would ultimately be released.
However, the film will not have it easy at the box office given that it will be released along with Ram Charan’s Game Changer, by S. Shankar. There are also speculations that Tamil star Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran might be aiming for this slot too, though nothing is official here.

Filming and Production
Good Bad Ugly was shot in Hyderabad, starting in May 2024. The team has been trying hard to keep the release timeline mentioned above. Specific to the film, there’s been quite a bit of heat surrounding it among fans following the official title drop earlier in March 2024 previously touted simply as AK 63 marking Ajith Kumar’s 63rd film.
Director Adhik Ravichandran’s Journey
Adhik Ravichandran, who had a successful hit recently with Mark Antony (2023) and received good acclaim for his 2015 film Trisha Illana Nayanthara has found himself in the news again. Following the hit Mark Antony, which recharged his career upfront and center, fans are keen to see how he tackles the action-comedy genre in Good Bad Ugly. Ravichandran is riding high on the recent success of his third film, but Bagheera has largely dwelled in underperformance waiting for its own time to shine.
Exciting Year for Tamil Cinema
2025 promises to be a significant year for Tamil cinema, with Good Bad Ugly leading the charge in January. Other highly anticipated releases like Diesel, Indian 3, Retta Thala, and Thani Oruvan 2 are also scheduled for January, making it an exciting start to the year. As Pongal approaches, the race for box office dominance continues to heat up, with Good Bad Ugly poised to be one of the most talked-about films of the festival season.
Potential Clash with Vanangaan
As Pongal is one of the most important festivals for Tamil films, there has been considerable speculation about which films will be released during this time. In addition to Good Bad Ugly, Vanangaan, directed by Bala and starring Arun Vijay, has also confirmed its presence for the festive release. Despite the competition, Arun Vijay, who is also friends with Ajith Kumar, expressed that there is no rivalry between the two, noting that both stars have their own space in the industry.
