The film is getting only mixed reviews from the audiences all over. While Ajith Kumar made his massive comeback with the recently released 'Good Bad Ugly', which received 3 3-star rating from ETimes with our official review that reads, "And in Adhik, he seems to have found the right director to pull it off. Adhik's films so far have been largely polarising - you either like his style of filmmaking or hate it, with no in-between. But his is definitely a unique voice, especially in the realm of our mass masala films - overloud (but in a very different way compared to someone like Hari) and visually distinct (but poles apart from a Karthik Subbaraj). It is cinema of maximalism, often breaking the third wall, peppered with throwbacks, and with only one goal - to deliver a high every few minutes. More than mass masala, it's max masala!"

'Refund Excess Ticket Charges Or Face Action': Madras High Court Warns Cinema Halls
Last Updated: The theatre owners cannot fleece the movie goers by collecting excess amount from them, court said. Against cinema theatre owners flouting government-fixed ticket rates, the Madras High Court has directed Tamil Nadu authorities to take prompt action against such violators and ensure refund of excess amounts charged from moviegoers. The order came in a writ petition filed by G Devarajan, who alleged that several cinema theatres across Tamil Nadu were collecting more than the permitted price for tickets, especially during the first four days after a new movie's release. He pointed out that films like 'Vivegam" had seen inflated pricing, in clear violation of government norms. The petitioner had urged the court to issue a writ of mandamus directing state officials—including Tahsildars, Collectors, and officials from the Commercial Tax and Home Departments—to crack down on this 'cheating practice" and ensure that the overcharged amounts were returned to the public. During the hearing, the state's Additional Government Pleader informed the bench that a dedicated monitoring committee was already in place. This committee regularly inspects theatres, monitors compliance, and recommends action wherever overcharging is detected. Justice N Anand Venkatesh, however, emphasised that merely forming a committee was not enough. Observing that such violations often occur during the high-demand phase immediately after a film's release, he directed that the committee take active steps whenever complaints are received. The court said that if a theatre is found collecting more than the approved rates, it must not only face appropriate action but also refund the excess collected. 'When the Government has fixed a rate which is revised from time to time, the theatre owners cannot fleece the moviegoers by collecting excess amount," the court stated, while adding that the committee must respond promptly to complaints and enforce the rules strictly. Justice Venkatesh concluded the proceedings by disposing of the petition but with clear directions for future monitoring. He stated that no costs were being awarded in the case and closed the connected miscellaneous petition as well. First Published:

Act against cinema theatres fleecing moviegoers, Madras High Court orders T.N. government
The Madras High Court, on Monday (June 9, 2025), directed the Tamil Nadu government to initiate appropriate action against cinema theatres which charge over and above the rates fixed by the State government. Justice N. Anand Venkatesh issued the direction while disposing of a writ petition filed by G. Devarajan of Chennai in 2017 accusing cinema theatres of fleecing the audience during the first four days of the release of new movies. With specific reference to the excess charges allegedly collected by certain theatres during the release of Ajith Kumar-starrer Vivegam that year, the petitioner had also sought a direction to refund the excess charges to the cinema goers. When the case was listed for final hearing now, an Additional Government Pleader brought it to the notice of the court that the government had already constituted committees to keep a check over the sale of tickets at cinema theatres. After recording his submission, the judge wrote: 'When the government has fixed rates, the theatre owners cannot fleece the moviegoers by collecting excess amount. Whenever such practices are reported, the committees must immediately act upon them,' During the course of hearing of the case, the judge also cautioned that the cinema theatres may not survive for long in view of the increased patronage being received by the Over the Top (OTT) media service platform. 'These days, most people, including the judge sitting before you, prefer to watch movies on OTT using home theatres. Now, we have the convenience of getting even popcorn delivered at home. Therefore, theatre owners must give a thought to it,' he said.
