Introduction  

Bad Girlz is pitched as a full-on youthful comedy entertainer, mixing girls-trip fun, crime elements, and a dose of emotion toward the climax. Directed by Phani Pradeep Dhulipudi (Munna), the film largely relies on its humor, pacing, and quartet of female leads to engage today’s youth.  

Story Line  

The film follows four girls — Rosy Reddy, Malleswari, Mercy, and Venkat Laxmi — who share a hostel life in Hyderabad. As two of them get engaged to John and Naidu, the gang decides to live it up one last time and plan a spinster vacation to Malaysia with the help of their elder sister Sravanthi. Their fun trip turns chaotic when a notorious criminal, Anaconda, plans a bombing in Malaysia, while a women trafficking gang simultaneously targets the four friends. How the girls tackle these threats and come out of danger forms the rest of the narrative, blending comedy, suspense, and a late emotional punch.  

Actors’ Performances  

The four leads — Anchal Gowda, Payal Chengappa, Roshini, and Yashna — give energetic performances and share good on-screen chemistry, carrying much of the film’s fun factor. Their reactions, bonding, and comic timing help keep the proceedings lively. Moin and Rohan Surya support them with solid humor, adding to the film’s comic flavour. 

Renu Desai will be seen Strong Role, Raja Ravindra as a Malaysian cop, Thagubothu Ramesh in a couple of scenes, and Bigg Boss fame Sravanthi Chokarapu in a key role do what is required of them, contributing to the lighter moments and plot progression.  

Technicians’ Work  

Anup Rubens’ music is a major plus — the songs and background score add energy and elevate both fun and emotional beats. The lyrics by Oscar Chandra Bose suit the tone and make the songs more appealing. Arli Ganesh’s cinematography gives the film a clean, glossy look, with Malaysia’s visuals standing out.  

Production values are decent, with around 90% of the film shot in Malaysia, giving it a richer visual texture than a typical small/mid-budget comedy. While the core story is routine, the screenplay and comedy punches by director Phani Pradeep Dhulipudi help maintain engagement, especially in the second half.

Analysis  

Bad Girlz works best when it stays in fun, quirky mode, focusing on the four friends, their banter, and the absurdity of their situation abroad. The combo of comedy and thriller elements is familiar, but the director’s treatment and pacing in the latter half keep it reasonably engaging. Emotional layering toward the climax gives the film some weight beyond plain comedy.  

However, the formulaic story, slow start, and occasional tonal imbalance stop it from becoming a standout entertainer. It ends up as a time-pass comedy caper that will work mainly for viewers who enjoy light-hearted, twist-filled rides and don’t mind a predictable plot.  

Bottom Line  

Bad Girlz is a decent one-time watch: a moderately entertaining comedy-thriller with good music, colourful visuals, and a few solid laughs, let down by a routine story and a patchy first half.
