Malayalam film industry is currently witnessing a massive showdown at the box office with the release of ‘Bha. Bha. Ba.’. Starring Dileep with a high-voltage guest appearance by Mohanlal, the film managed to rake in a powerful ₹6.75 crore on its opening day. While the “World of Madness” theme has resonated with fans looking for a nostalgic, meta-spoof experience, the film is facing a steep uphill battle outside the theater.
The release has been met with intense boycott campaigns across Kerala, fueled by public reaction to Dileep’s recent legal acquittal. Social media is divided, with one side celebrating the “return of Janapriyanayakan” and the other calling for a total shunning of the film. Despite the protests, Mohanlal’s presence has ensured high occupancy in major centers, making it one of the most talked-about and controversial premieres of 2025.
