Ajith Kumar’s much-awaited film Good Bad Ugly, directed by Adhik Ravichandran, is generating massive excitement ahead of its worldwide release on April 10, 2025. The makers have confirmed a concise runtime of just 138 minutes (2 hours and 18 minutes)—a sharp contrast to the usual lengthy format seen in Tamil cinema.
A Shift Towards Sleek, Fast-Paced Storytelling
In an era where Tamil films often run over 3 hours, Good Bad Ugly is embracing a tight, no-filler storytelling format. The shorter duration aims to ensure non-stop engagement and seamless narrative flow, eliminating the need for post-editing trims.
The film’s structure has been pre-planned with a focused screenplay, reflecting confidence from the creators and aligning with evolving viewer preferences for snappier content.
Ajith Kumar and Trisha Lead a Power-Packed Cast
Starring Ajith Kumar in the lead alongside Trisha, Good Bad Ugly is backed by the pulsating music of GV Prakash Kumar. The film has reportedly wrapped up both production and post-production phases, and all eyes are now on its grand April release.
Hollywood-Style Runtime with Desi Punch
Following a rising trend from Hollywood, the makers have opted for a sub-140-minute format—a strategy designed to offer a full cinematic experience without dragging. According to Indiaglitz, this approach enhances the re-watch value and caters to modern audiences with shorter attention spans.
This crisp format, coupled with Ajith’s commanding screen presence, could redefine the pacing standards of commercial Tamil cinema.
