Subscribers of Netflix and Tamil cinema audiences won't be able to view Good Bad Ugly on the streaming platform, as the film has been removed from the platform. Directed by Adhik Ravichandran, Good Bad Ugly starred Ajith Kumar in the lead.

The move follows the verdict of Justice N Senthilkumar, who restrained the producers from exhibiting the film with songs composed by Ilaiyaraaja. Good Bad Ugly featured Ilaiyaraaja songs like 'Ottha Ruba Tharen', 'En Jodi Manja Kuruvi', and 'Ilamai Idho Idho'.

Ilaiyaraaja had earlier filed a lawsuit demanding the makers of Good Bad Ugly to pay him Rs 5 crores and a written apology. He later filed a copyright infringement suit against the film's production house.

Good Bad Ugly was released theatrically on April 10. It later premiered on Netflix on May 8. The film also starred Trisha, Arjun Das, Prasanna, Prabhu, and Sunil, among others.
