Plot
The film is set in the fictional village of Kothulagudem and follows the lives of Tirupati, a trailer repairman, and Muthyalu, a barber—two habitual drunkards known to the villagers as the "Badmaashulu." Often engaging in petty thefts to support their addictions, the pair show little concern for their families or responsibilities. Their reckless behavior continues even after they are arrested for a minor theft, as they cause trouble while in police custody. The situation escalates when a school computer containing important alumni data goes missing, and suspicion falls on the duo. With Constable Ramachander investigating the case, Tirupati and Muthyalu must confront their actions, assist in finding the real culprit, and begin a journey toward redemption.

It is a film that ambles, stumbles, and sometimes stalls, but never loses its sincerity."[3]DC Coresspondent said Overall, "Badmashulu" is a light-hearted comedy film.[4]Suhas Sistu of Hans India said Badmaashulu thrives on its slice-of-life narrative and humorous depiction of rural Telangana.[5]
