Plot[edit]
 | This section reads like a review rather than an encyclopedic description of the subject. (May 2010) |
Shalini (Ramya), the daughter of a police commissioner (Avinash), lands in the city only to find that a street rowdy called Anand (Ganesh) is on a rampage. But little does she know that Anand is a Good Samaritan at heart.
Meanwhile, Shalini comes across a sadist (Adi Lokesh) who wants to marry her at any cost. He is also the son of a big mafia don (Mukesh Rishi). The mafia group goes to Shalini's father's house to force the marriage. Shalini's father seeks the help of Anand and makes his daughter stay with him for a month in his den. How Anand saves Shalini and what happens to the bad guys make up the rest of the story.

Production[edit]
— Ganesh on the film, 2008[6]
Ganesh worked out to play a tough guy in the film.[7] Ramya was cast as a non-resident Indian.[8] The songs were shot in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.[8][9][10][11] Ramya shot for this film at the same time as the unreleased Bhimoo's Bang Bang Kids and Mussanje Maathu.[12] Ganesh got injured while doing the splits.[13] Shooting finished in March of 2008.[9]
Soundtrack[edit]
The music of Bombaat was composed by Mano Murthy who previously worked with Ganesh in Mungaru Male and Cheluvina Chittara.[6] Deccan Herald opined that "Amid high expectations from Mano, for a Ganesh starrer, Bombaat’s soundtrack just about manages to stay afloat.[14]

Release and reception[edit]
The film released around the same time as Ramya-starrer Antu Intu Preeti Bantu.[15] A critic from Sify called the story "water thin" and opined that "Added to it is the mother sentiment plus Mano Murthy’s rehashed tunes from his earlier films, makes it messy."[16] Vijayasarathy of Rediff gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and opined that "All this might just appeal to Ganesh's fans despite the poor script".[17] The audience criticised Ganesh's characterisation.[18] Rajendra Babu cast Ramya in Aryan (2014) after he liked her performance in this film.[19]
Box office[edit]
The initial collections were high,[20] but the film later became a box office failure after the collections dipped.[21][22][23][24] The film flopped along with Ramya's Antu Intu Preeti Bantu.[25]
