Bad Girl follows the story of Ramya, a young woman who dreams of finding the perfect man and experiencing a fulfilling love story. However, from her school days through college, she is forced to conform to societal norms and family expectations.
Even in adulthood, Ramya continues to struggle to find the love she desires, as society and her family repeatedly label her a “bad” girl. The movie explores how she deals with these challenges while managing the chaos within her own mind.
