Mohanlal fans… this one’s for you.
Because when Lalettan shows up in a film, the temperature changes. The room leans in. Even the popcorn pauses mid-air for half a second. And Bha. Bha. Ba. is exactly that kind of watch—where the story is already loud and wild, and then Mohanlal walks in and makes it feel bigger.
If you’ve been waiting for a massy Mohanlal moment—sharp, stylish, slightly mischievous—this is your “click play” signal.
Mohanlal’s Bha Bha Ba Is Here, And The Vibe Is Pure Crowd Energy
From 16 January 2026, you can stream Bha. Bha. Ba—a Malayalam action entertainer that starts with a bang: Kerala’s newly elected CM gets abducted in broad daylight. On day one. Like the universe said, “No honeymoon period for you, sir.”
And then the chaos spreads. Fear. Devotion. Public reaction. Power is looking shaky under harsh daylight.
If you like stories where the crowd becomes a character, and every scene feels like a headline… welcome.
The Plot In One Breath: A CM, A Kidnapping, And A City That Loses Its Mind
Here’s the spoiler-light setup.
Chief Minister C.K. Joseph assumes office. Cameras flash. Smiles happen. The whole “new chapter” vibe starts… and then a madman called “the Commoner” abducts him, just like that.
Now the system panics. The public starts questioning everything. And the film turns into a fast-moving circus of politics, power, and people choosing sides like it’s a festival match.
You’re not watching a quiet investigation here. You’re under pressure. Social pressure. Street pressure. Political pressure. The kind that makes even “strong men” look small.
If you want to explore more films in the same mood later, the Movies section is your easiest rabbit hole.
The Mohanlal Factor: Why Ghilli Bala Feels Like A Treat
Let’s talk about the real headline for fans.
Mohanlal appears as Ghilli Bala—and even if you’ve watched him for years, you know how this works: he doesn’t need long scenes to dominate a film’s memory. He just needs the right entry, the right look, the right stillness. That calm authority. That “I’ve seen worse” swagger.
If you’re the kind of viewer who rewatches moments—just moments—this is the film that gives you those.
And if you feel like going on a Lalettan marathon after, you already know the route: Mohanlal filmography.
Cast And Characters: A Fun Mix Of Familiar And Unpredictable
Bha Bha Ba doesn’t run on one hero. It runs on a crowd of personalities.
Dileep leads as Ram Damodar “Radar.” He’s the engine here—quick, reactive, always moving. If you enjoy his comic timing mixed with action beats, go browse Dileep filmography afterwards.
You’ve also got Vineeth Sreenivasan as Noble Joseph—the kind of presence that steadies a noisy film. For more of his work, head to Vineeth Sreenivasan filmography.
Then there’s Dhyan Sreenivasan as Sandy/ACP Ashkar Ahammed—bringing that slightly unpredictable rhythm he’s known for. If you like that energy, check Dhyan Sreenivasan filmography.
And Baiju Santhosh plays CM C.K. Joseph. He grounds the “power” part of the story, because a kidnapping only works if the person kidnapped feels important. If you want more from him, here’s Baiju Santhosh’s filmography.
What’s New About Bha Bha Ba
Bha Bha Ba feels “new” because it doesn’t behave politely.
It blends mass entertainment with that spoof-ish, satirical bite—where you laugh, then suddenly realise the joke is also about the world outside your screen. Politics as performance. Public opinion as a weapon. Power is a costume that can tear.
Also, the setup is instantly addictive. A CM abducted on day one? That’s a plot that doesn’t wait for you to settle in.
And for an action film, the pace stays surprisingly watchable. No endless detours. No stretching the same moment into a sermon. It keeps moving.

How To Watch Bha Bha Ba On ZEE5 Without Missing The Fun Bits
Tiny suggestion: don’t multitask.
This film is noisy in a good way—packed with reactions, moments, and little swings in tone. Watch it when you can actually watch it. English subtitles are there, so you won’t miss the punchlines or the tension spikes.
