Badha

About This Movie

Badha has this rather intense vibe, driven by the antics of Aakash, who’s really a piece of work, spoiled and entitled. The plot takes a dark turn when he threatens to leap off a college building, which brings in Bristy—a girl caught in a web of manipulation. The characters have this palpable tension and the pacing keeps you on edge, even if it meanders a bit. The performances feel raw, almost uncomfortable at times, especially with the themes of coercion and desperation lurking in the background. It’s kind of a snapshot of youthful recklessness and the sometimes toxic dynamics of relationships.

Badha has had a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, with few prints available, making any physical copy particularly desirable. The film's unique take on youth and obsession, combined with its somewhat obscure reputation, has spurred interest among those who appreciate lesser-known titles. Its rarity and distinctive thematic elements make it a conversation starter among collectors focused on regional cinema from the mid-2000s.
