Ajith Kumar goes full throttle on the fan service pedal in Good Bad Ugly and we’re here to break it all down.

Is it bad? Is it ugly? It sure ain't good. Tune in as we unpack what might be the most absurd Tamil film we’ve reviewed yet.

More from Paisa Vasool
Nani and director Srikanth Odela reunite for The Paradise — his biggest budget yet at ₹150–200 crore — and it might be the worst film of his career. We break down what went wrong, from the melodrama to a second half that completely loses the plot, then dive into spoilers before closing out ranking Nani's entire filmography in a This or That gauntlet.
Yash returns after a four-year gap since KGF: Chapter 2 with Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups — and it's a swing that doesn't land. We get into director Geetu Mohandas' jump from festival-circuit filmmaking to a ₹500–1,000 crore tentpole, the film's 503-day delay saga, and why a real story about guilt gets lost under three-plus hours of style-first excess. Spoilers from (24:26).
Suriya's Karuppu just became his highest-grossing film ever — but did RJ Balaji quietly walk away with the movie? Sravan and Tarun break down Paisa Vasool's verdict on Tamil cinema's biggest 2026 surprise: a sincere first half, a second half that forgets it exists, and a post-credits tease nobody asked for.
Vijay's 69th - and reportedly final - film before fully stepping into politics as Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister. Does JANA NAYAGAN send Thalapathy off right, or does the seven-month delay explain everything? We break down the good, the very bad, and close with a blind ranking of Vijay's entire filmography.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu is back — and she might have just delivered her best performance yet. In this episode of Paisa Vasool, Sravan and Tarun break down Maa Inti Bangaaram, the third collaboration between Samantha and director B.V. Nandini Reddy, and debate whether this is the best Telugu film they've seen in years.
