Bachhala Malli

 Bachhala Malli: A Cinematic Rollercoaster That Redefines ‘Over-the-Top’


If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to witness a tornado wrapped in a hurricane, all set to a melodious folk tune, look no further than Bachhala Malli. This 2024 Telugu action drama, directed by Subbu Mangadevvi, is a masterclass in how to throw every conceivable plot device into a blender and hit ‘puree’. 


Plot: A Symphony of Chaos


Set in the quaint village of Suravaram in Tuni, Andhra Pradesh, the film follows Bachhala Malli (Allari Naresh), a prodigious student whose life takes a nosedive after his father makes a decision so perplexing, it could only be justified in a soap opera. Malli transforms from the village Einstein to a rowdy whose hobbies include drinking, brawling, and making life choices that would make a reality TV star cringe. Enter Kaveri (Amritha Aiyer), the embodiment of patience, who sees potential in Malli that the audience is still searching for. 


Allari Naresh: The King of Overacting


Allari Naresh delivers a performance so intense, it’s as if he’s trying to win an Oscar in every single scene. His portrayal of Malli’s downward spiral is less of a descent and more of a freefall off a cliff, complete with exaggerated expressions and dramatic flair that would make a Shakespearean actor blush. It’s a tour de force that leaves you wondering if subtlety was ever an option. 


Action Sequences: Defying Physics and Logic


The action scenes are a spectacle, defying not just the laws of physics but also common sense. From Malli single-handedly taking on a battalion with moves that seem choreographed by a hyperactive teenager, to chase sequences , it’s a visual feast that leaves you both awestruck and bewildered. 


Supporting Cast: Masters of Melodrama


Rao Ramesh, as Kaveri’s father, delivers his lines with such gravitas, you’d think he was addressing the United Nations. Rohini, playing Malli’s mother, brings tears to your eyes—not from emotion, but from the sheer intensity of her over-the-top maternal concern. And let’s not forget the village extras, who react to every event with synchronized gasps and head shakes, adding to the film’s unintentional comedy. 


Music and Cinematography: A Sensory Overload


Vishal Chandrasekhar’s music oscillates between haunting melodies and jarring beats, ensuring your auditory senses are constantly on edge. The cinematography captures the lush landscapes of Tuni, juxtaposed with close-up shots of Malli’s contorted expressions, creating a visual experience that’s as inconsistent as the plot. 


Final Verdict: A Must-Watch Trainwreck


Bachhala Malli is the kind of film that transcends traditional notions of good and bad. It’s an experience—a chaotic, bewildering, and unintentionally hilarious experience. If you’re in the mood for a movie that keeps you entertained by making you question every directorial choice, this is the one for you. Grab some popcorn, leave your logic at the door, and enjoy the rollercoaster that is Bachhala Malli.
