The story is about Anand, an honest income tax officer who is also called Bachchan. The film shows his tough journey dealing with work raids and his personal life, including a love story with Jikki.
The movie was made with a budget of around ₹80 crore. Even though there were high hopes, Mr. Bachchan got mixed reviews.

Mr. Bachchan has received mixed reactions from critics. Ravi Teja's lively performance as a strict officer has been praised, making the film more dynamic. However, the movie loses steam in the second half, with a plot that drags on with unnecessary comedy and an old-fashioned ending.
Critics from The Hindu and Sakshi Post have noted that while the first half of the film is entertaining, the second half fails to keep the audience interested. The film sticks to a traditional masala formula with a predictable storyline, leading to ratings of around 2 to 2.5 stars out of 5 from various reviewers.
