Bachchala Malli

Bachchala Malli

In 2005, Bachhala Malli is a troubled village ruffian known for his violent temper and self-destructive habits, including heavy drinking and smoking. He earns a living by stitching jute bags and is feared by everyone. One night after leaving a bar in a drunken state, Malli collapses while trying to start his motorcycle and loses consciousness. The narrative shifts to 1985, revealing Malli's past as a bright student who topped his district in his 10th-grade examinations. He shared a close bond with his father, Bachhala Satyanarayana, a businessman who secretly maintained a second relationship with Padma. When Padma threatens suicide unless Satyanarayana commits to her, Satyanarayana's father issues an ultimatum forcing Satyanarayana to choose between his family and Padma. Satyanarayana chooses Padma and leaves the household, an event Malli witnesses as a child. Traumatized by what he perceives as abandonment, Malli rejects his father completely. Around the same time, he began smoking and was later expelled from college after refusing to bring his father when reprimanded by authorities. Over the years, this emotional rupture turns Malli into a rebellious and bitter man. In the 1990s, Malli returns home, where his mother reveals that Satyanarayana, filled with regret, has bought land in Malli's name. Malli angrily refuses the gesture and continues to harbor resentment. At Malli's niece Rajyam's wedding, Malli meets Kaveri, a student, and falls in love with her.
