Bha Bha Ba begins with the kidnapping of CK Joseph, the newly elected Chief Minister of Kerala, by a man who identifies himself as a “commoner”. After kidnapping the CM, he goes back to his hideout and urges the citizens to submit their complaints to him in writing so that he can deliver them directly to the minister.
As chaos ensues following the CM’s disappearance, a group of police officers led by Joseph’s son, Noble, attempt to capture the commoner and uncover his identity. It is revealed that the commoner is a man named Ram Damodar, also known as Radar, who is suffering from some mental health conditions.
After being orphaned, Radar is admitted to a mental hospital, where he comes under the influence of Ghilli Bala, a powerful gangster and staunch Thalapathy Vijay fan. Ultimately, Rader becomes the gangster’s right-hand man and later takes command of the gang, which is involved in gold smuggling.
What follows is a spoof-filled action-comedy story that explores why Radar has kidnapped the Chief Minister, whether they have any past connections, and who is assisting them in the mission.
The above movies are among the top Malayalam releases on OTT this week. Apart from this, many other movies in different languages are also available for streaming.
