Bablusha is a historical family thriller. It is based on a true story involving a family in Mallinathapura in the year 1501 during the times of Krishnadevaraya.[3] The film was released to mixed reviews.
After the success of A Day in the City, Bharadwaj was approached by an NRI to come up with a historical film. Venkat accepted the opportunity and created Bablusha. Venkat selected three of the 480 candidates who auditioned for the lead role. The film was shot within 24 days in Kanakapura, Malavalli, Mallinathapur village, and Ramnagara.[4] [5]

A critic from The Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "This film does remind one of childhood tales like Hansel and Gretel and Red Riding Hood. If you want to watch a film that would entertain your little one and also make a decent watch for you, then this can be a good choice".[6] A critic from The News Minute wrote that "In the end, one comes out of the film feeling cheated - that what was promised, was not delivered. And wondering what might have been, if only the director had stuck to his original premise".[7]
