Cast, direction and our verdict
‘Bha. Bha. Ba.’ is directed by Dhananjay Shankar. Dileep, Mohanlal, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Dhyan Sreenivasan, Balu Varghese, Saranya Ponvannan, and Redin Kingsley play key roles. The response to the film has been mixed.The ETimes review says, “The film, directed by Dhananjay Shankar, and written by husband-wife actor duo Fahim Safar and Noorin Shereef, is confused in its storyline, scripting and making, even though there is a disclaimer to leave logic at the door. Bollywood filmmaker Farah Khan, for example, makes films on totally whimsical themes, but they are hugely entertaining, and have engaging storylines and characterisations.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers in this article are compiled from our proprietary sources and diverse public data.
