Box Office: As Good Bad Ugly performs successfully in theaters, let's revisit Ajith Kumar's last 3 major hits
As Good Bad Ugly shines at the box office, here’s a look at Ajith Kumar’s last three major hits; Thunivu, Viswasam, and Vedalam, that fueled his superstardom.
Tamil Superstar Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly is ruling the box office with strong collections at the moment, all thanks to positive word-of-mouth. Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, the stylish actioner bankrolled by Telugu production house Mythri Movie Makers has grossed over Rs 173 crore worldwide in just five days and continues to perform well. As this latest success adds another feather to Ajith’s cap, let’s take a look back at his last three major box office hits that kept his superstardom alive.
First up is Thunivu, the 2023 Tamil heist action thriller directed by H. Vinoth and produced by Boney Kapoor. Playing a mysterious mastermind leading a bank robbery with unexpected twists, Ajith has stunned his fans through the film. The stylish action sequences and gripping narrative helped Thunivu earn amass a worldwide gross of Rs 194.50 crore, making it one of Ajith’s highest-grossing films to date.
Before that, in 2019, Ajith collaborated with director Siva for Viswasam, an emotional action drama set against the backdrop of a rural family. Released on January 10, 2019, the film clashed with Rajinikanth’s Petta but managed to hold its ground. It grossed around Rs 180 crore worldwide and was celebrated for its family sentiment, mass appeal, and D. Imman’s award-winning music, which earned him the Best Music Director honor at the 67th National Film Awards.
Going further back, Vedalam in 2015 was another solid commercial success for Ajith. Directed by Siva, the action thriller featured Ajith in a dual-shaded role that impressed fans and critics alike, especially the stand out hospital scene that is rated a cult scene ever. Released during Diwali, Vedalam grossed approximately Rs 119 crore and became a festival favorite. The film’s success even led to remakes in other languages, especially Bhola Shankar in Telugu, starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, which didn't do well at the box office though.
With Good Bad Ugly now joining this successful lineup of multi-crore grossers, Ajith continues to prove his consistency at the box office.
