‘Bachchala Malli’ movie review: Allari Naresh is the saving grace of this boring film
The HinduIn times of chest-thumping heroism when films are relentlessly packed with a series of highs, it is heartening that filmmaker Subbu Mangadevi has chosen to tell the story of a loser rather unapologetically. Bachchala Malli Director: Subbu Mangadevvi Cast: Allari Naresh, Amritha Aiyer, Rao Ramesh Storyline: As a boy breaks ties with his father, his crisis deepens The film traverses multiple timelines — from 1985 to 2005 — focusing on key incidents that alter the course of Malli’s life. The film keeps moving from one tragic episode to another — the tally of victims who fall prey to Malli’s actions only keeps rising. Bachchala Malli had abundant scope to be an emotionally rich tale but has neither the appeal of a masala fare nor the rootedness of a realistic film. Allari Naresh’s hunger to recreate himself as an actor post-Naandhi is quite evident across his roles in Ugram, Maredumilli Prajaneekam, Naa Saami Ranga, Aa Okkati Adakku and now Bachchala Malli.
