<p>Ajith Kumar goes full throttle on the fan service pedal in Good Bad Ugly and we’re here to break it all down. </p><br><p>In this episode of Paisa Vasool, we dive into the chaos that is Adhik Ravichandran’s latest film – from the endless intro scenes and John Wick cameos to the questionable logic and over-the-top villains.
