Bha Bha Ba begins with the kidnapping of Kerala’s newly elected Chief Minister, CK Joseph, by a man who identifies himself as the “Commoner.” After abducting the CM, he retreats to his hideout and urges citizens to submit their grievances to him in writing so that he can relay them directly to the minister.

As chaos ensues following the CM’s disappearance, a group of police officers led by Joseph’s son, Noble, attempts to capture the Commoner and uncover his identity. It is revealed that the Commoner is a man named Ram Damodar, also known as Radar, who suffers from certain mental health conditions.

After being orphaned, Radar is admitted to a mental hospital, where he comes under the influence of Ghilli Bala, a powerful gangster and a hardcore Thalapathy Vijay fan. Eventually, Radar becomes the gangster’s right-hand man and later takes charge of the gang, which is involved in gold smuggling.

What follows is a spoof-filled action-comedy escapade that explores why Radar has kidnapped the Chief Minister, whether they share a past connection, and who is aiding him in the mission.

The above films are among the top Malayalam releases on OTT this week. In addition, several other movies across different languages are also available for streaming.
