The film was released in cinemas on September 5, 2025. Despite its strong cast and powerful storyline, Bad Girl did not manage to achieve notable commercial success. However, its thought-provoking subject matter and the controversy surrounding it kept the film in public discussion long after its release.
According to IMDb, the movie’s gist reads, “From her journey through high school and college, then out into the wider world, Ramya's dream of finding the perfect guy is obstructed by societal mores, strict parents, unrequited love and the untrammelled chaos of her own mind.”
