Dileep’s much-awaited theatrical release, ‘Bha Bha Ba’, has finally arrived, and social media reactions have begun pouring in thick and fast. Early viewers have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share their first impressions, with a section of fans hailing the film as an unapologetically loud, logic-free entertainer that leans heavily into nostalgia, spoofs, and star power.
For many, the film signals a return to the high-energy, crowd-pleasing version of Dileep that once dominated festival releases. The added presence of Mohanlal, even in a cameo, has clearly amplified the excitement, with several reactions describing theatre-going experiences filled with whistles, cheers, and celebratory chaos.

Manu Thankachy, “#BhaBhaBa with n number of old #Vijay, #Mohanlal, #Mammootty, of course #Dileep, and other hit movie references along with addition of hit songs, Bha Bha Ba felt like a lavishly made mid-comedy skit, a spoof, and a fully forced, over-the-top, clichéd fest.”

Mohammed Ihsan, “#BhaBhaBa glimpse feels overly forced and artificial in its attempt to be massy❗The dialogues and overall presentation don’t land well, the teaser was much better. Even the background score feels quite mid.”

Manu Thankachy, “The second half started off with another set of template spoofs and a below average flashback but Bha Bha Ba succeeded in delivering a terrific intro, a perfect fan offering for Mohanlal—his best after Jailer, a towering cameo from #Lalettan, who lifted this film to festive mode.”

Beyond the on-screen spectacle, ‘Bha Bha Ba’ carries added significance as it marks Dileep’s first theatrical release following his acquittal in the alleged 2017 assault case involving a fellow actress. The case has had a profound impact on the Malayalam film industry and continues to influence public perception and debate surrounding the actor’s comeback.
The film boasts a sizeable ensemble cast, including Dhyan Sreenivasan, Sandy, Balu Varghese, Baiju Santhosh, Saranya Ponvannan, Sidharth Bharathan and Redin Kingsley.
While reactions so far are clearly polarised, ‘Bha Bha Ba’ seems to have found favour with audiences craving unabashed madness over realism.
