Bachchala Malli was released in theatres on December 20. Two weeks later, the film is available for streaming on three OTT platforms.
The Subbu Mangadevvi directorial is streaming on Amazon Prime Video, ETV Win and Sun NXT.
Produced by Hasya Movies, Bachchala Malli was a box office disaster. The film fell flat on its face owing to its poor, rehashed content. Allari Naresh had hoped to make a comeback after the failure of Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam, Ugram and Aa Okkati Adakku.
The movie follows the tumultuous life of Malli (Allari Naresh), a laborer at a gunny sack firm in the 1990s. Plagued by insane anger issues and irrational behaviour, Malli struggles to connect with others. His life, marked by drinking and petty quarrels, is a direct consequence of a traumatic childhood. Abandoned by his otherwise loving but helpless father (Balagam Jayaram), Malli is a wreck. As fate intervenes, Malli's life takes an unexpected turn when he falls deeply in love with Kaveri (Amritha Aiyer). Their love story, however, is far from smooth sailing, though.
