Ajith Kumar’s ‘Good Bad Ugly’ Shatters Records: Becomes 2025’s Kollywood Box Office Giant

In a stunning turn of events that has the entire Tamil film industry talking, Good Bad Ugly has emerged as the undisputed box office titan of 2025. With over 20 lakh tickets sold on BookMyShow alone, the film has officially become the highest-selling Kollywood movie of the year—marking yet another milestone in Superstar Ajith Kumar’s legendary career.

Released on April 10, Good Bad Ugly stormed into theatres with massive anticipation—and it hasn’t disappointed. Right from day one, it has been a juggernaut at the ticket counters, setting new records with every passing day. Fans, critics, and cinema lovers alike are raving about the film’s compelling narrative, high-octane action, and Ajith’s magnetic screen presence.

This blockbuster success is especially significant for Ajith, who narrowly missed this feat with his earlier 2025 release Vidaamuyarchi. But with Good Bad Ugly, he has not only bounced back but soared to cinematic heights.

What makes this success even more memorable is the wave of admiration flooding in from the film’s team. Sunil, who played the much-talked-about character Baby Tyson, shared a heartfelt anecdote that’s now winning hearts across the internet. “Ajith sir once noticed I was jogging and said my father comes along too. The next day, he personally drove the car at 4 am and joined us for a 9 km walk. Later, we drove for over an hour to Miyapur for a shoot. His discipline and humility are inspiring,” said Sunil.

He also praised Ajith’s daring performance in the film’s intense interval fight sequence, which was shot in a single take involving 27 actors, with no body doubles. “That’s Ajith for you—a true legend,” Sunil added during the film’s celebratory event.

The film’s momentum hasn’t slowed down. Even into its second week, collections remain rock-solid, buoyed by the summer vacation season and positive word of mouth. With worldwide gross collections crossing ₹170 crores, the film continues to roar at the box office, with no major competitors in sight.

Blockbuster celebration events are in full swing, and Ajith’s fans are celebrating this victory like a festival. With the momentum it’s riding, Good Bad Ugly is not just a film—it’s a cultural moment for Kollywood in 2025.
