Bachi 2000

In a brisk, deceptively simple thriller, the story follows Bachi, a sharp officer from the special branch who quickly finds himself drawn to a beautiful young woman, Venkata Lakshmi. A nationwide shock arrives when news breaks that a modest country hick, Tatineni Koteswara Rao, has won a staggering ₹50 crore in a Paris lottery. This windfall attracts all manner of ruthless seekers—gangsters and crooks alike—who see the ticket as a doorway to power and riches. To protect the newly minted fortune, the government elevates [Bachi] to the role of chief security officer for Koteswara Rao, with a powerful patron in the form of Satyambabu backing the operation and funding the security with every facility imaginable.

The balance of the film shifts when a courier delivers Habibi, a boy from Dubai, who openly declares himself [Bachi]’s son with the blessing of his mother Parvati. The revelation unsettles Bachi and disrupts his personal life, as his initial instinct is to dispose of the child, a plan he soon abandons. Instead, a complicated bond begins to form between them, even as a prior tenant—another Bachi, a kind of tomcat in Bachi’s own home—leaves a lingering mystery. Parvati’s presence adds another layer of tension, and though she tries to play hide-and-seek with Bachi, he shields her from danger while continuing to protect Habibi. This intertwining of loyalty and sentiment sets the stage for a cat-and-mouse chase as Bachi works to safeguard both Parvati and Habibi from a threat that is not immediately clear.

As the plot thickens, Koteswara Rao makes a dramatic attempt to erase his own past by cosmetic surgery, hoping to assume a new identity. Venkata Lakshmi notices the disguise and quickly informs Bachi, triggering a fresh surge of urgency. In a bold confrontation, Koteswara Rao uses Habibi as a shield, but the truth emerges in a startling confession: Koteswara Rao is the man who deceived Parvati, and Habibi is his own flesh and blood. Faced with this revelation, Habibi’s fate takes a new turn, and he begs Bachi to keep the truth under wraps, allowing Habibi to remain as his son in name and heart. The confession leads to a judicial surrender by Koteswara Rao, closing the chapter on the layers of deception.

In the end, the film resolves on a note of reconciliation and joy: Bachi finds a lasting bond with Venkata Lakshmi, and the couple’s wedding marks a serene closure to a story defined by danger, revelation, and the redemptive power of chosen family. The narrative weaves together themes of duty, parenthood, and the cost of ambition, leaving viewers with a sense of hopeful resolution even after a maze of twists.
