Bachhala Malli

The trailer for this movie was so well done it makes it difficult to ignore! And yet you had the feeling that there was a little more depth than you might expect. This film is first a character study and next a romance. Any movie that involves the viewers emotions always is a cut above the rest. Plenty of emotions here, wonderful soundtrack and fabulous acting. It was a very pleasant experience and one of the best films of the year! This film proves you don't need a giant budget to produce an excellent movie. At one point there were too many romantic movies in India. Now there are too many crime dramas!

Where do I even begin? Watching this movie was one of the most frustrating and underwhelming experiences of my life. The plot was so paper-thin it felt like the writers gave up halfway through-or maybe they never even started. The characters were flat, uninteresting, and entirely unrelatable, leaving no reason to care about their fates.

The pacing was absolutely horrendous; some scenes dragged on forever while others were so rushed that they barely made any sense. And don't even get me started on the dialogue-it was cringy, uninspired, and often made me wonder if they hired a chatbot to write it (and not a good one).

Visually, the movie was a mess. The CGI looked outdated, and the cinematography was bland and uninspired. It's almost like they tried to copy better movies but failed miserably at every turn. The soundtrack? Forgettable at best, annoying at worst.

To add insult to injury, the movie tries to be profound but ends up being pretentious instead. Whatever message they were going for was lost in a sea of clichés and nonsensical twists.

If you're thinking of watching this, don't. Save your time, your money, and your brain cells. This film is an embarrassment to cinema and deserves to be forgotten.

Rating: 1/10 (Only because I can't give it a 0).

This movie reminded of Vedam in terms of emotional depth in Naresh's character. It starts off quite interestingly showing Bachala Malli (Naresh) as a drunkard and hard working person but also has short temper and gets into brawls frequently without thinking too much about consequences. The story goes back and forth to explore the protoganist's journey in the backdrop of 90's coastal Andhra.

All the cast did their job well, the story and the execution was decent. I felt the lag at times but Naresh keeps you hooked with his acting. It explores the sensitive human emotions like love, pride, arrogance and stubbornness.

Overall, it's a one time watchable movie.

This movie is a must-watch as it beautifully captures all emotions. Naresh delivers a deeply immersive performance, making his role truly unforgettable. His dedication is evident, especially in the last 5-10 minutes, which brought me to tears. Rao Ramesh also does a fantastic job in his role, adding depth to the narrative. The director has skillfully portrayed emotions throughout the film, making it a compelling experience. It's a perfect movie to watch with family, as it avoids excessive action or unnecessary fights. Despite having fewer songs, the film remains engaging and deeply impactful. MUST WATCH.

Bacchalla Malli" is a powerful exploration of human emotions, showcasing how anger, love, and familial discord can shape a person's life. Set in the 1990s, the story revolves around Malli, a promising young man whose life takes a dark turn after his father's second marriage creates chaos within the family. The narrative delves into Malli's struggles with resentment, self-destruction, and his complicated relationship with Kaveri, the one glimmer of hope in his turbulent journey.

The film excels in blending raw emotions with compelling storytelling, creating a deeply relatable yet heart-wrenching experience. Strong performances by the cast bring authenticity to the complex characters, while the cinematography captures the era's essence beautifully. The climax, filled with regret and redemption, leaves a lasting impact, making "Bacchalla Malli" a poignant reminder of how unchecked emotions can alter lives. A must-watch for fans of intense dramas with emotional depth.
