The story, which shifts between intense drama and lighter moments, might not appeal to everyone. Overall, Mr. Bachchan has received a rating of around 2.25/5, indicating that while it has some good moments, it doesn't quite meet expectations.

Story
Mr. Bachchan focuses on a sincere and determined income tax officer. The story follows his mission to bring down corrupt people who misuse the system. After being suspended, his character returns to his hometown, where he meets and falls in love with Jikki, played by Bhagyashri Borse. The plot takes a dramatic turn when he is called back to conduct a major raid on the property of a powerful and corrupt politician.
The movie unfolds with a series of intense confrontations and action scenes, showcasing the battle between the honest officer and the corrupt businessman. The film has a nostalgic feel, with dialogues and settings that take viewers back to that era. The protagonist's emotional and moral challenges are central to the story.
Box Office
Mr. Bachchan opened to moderate box office collections, with early estimates suggesting a first-day gross of around ₹10-12 crores. Advance bookings were strong, particularly in key Telugu markets, reflecting Ravi Teja’s mass appeal. However, the film's mixed reviews may impact its overall box office trajectory.
Trade analysts predict that Mr Bachchan might struggle to reach blockbuster status but could achieve a respectable lifetime gross of ₹50-60 crores if it sustains decent weekday collections. The film's fate will largely depend on word-of-mouth and how it performs in smaller centres where Ravi Teja has a dedicated fan base.
Right now, Mr. Bachchan is playing in theatres and Netflix has acquired the OTT rights. Also, you can enjoy more such crime drama films on Bollyflix home.
