Bhadra (Telugu: భద్ర) is a Telugu action film released on 12 May 2005 (Dubbed in Malayalam as Brahmam and in Hindi as Badala) and was directed by debutant director Boyapati Srinu featured Ravi Teja, Arjan Bajwa and Meera Jasmine in the lead roles. The film was later remade into Tamil as Saravana, in Kannada as Gaja, in Bengali as Josh with Jeet & Srabanti Malakar & in Bangladeshi Bengali as Bhaolobeshe Morte Pari (2010 film) with Shakib Khan & Sahara.

Bhadra (Ravi Teja) and Raja (Arjan Bajwa) are the thickest of friends. When Raja comes to the city to visit Bhadra, Bhadra notices Raja's sister, Anu (Meera Jasmine), and is attracted to her instantly. When Raja visits his home village, Bhadra visits along with him. Anu, who returns from London, is impressed by Bhadra, who continually impresses her, based on her tastes. He gets along well with Raja's and Anu's family, in the meanwhile convinces them that he would make a prospective groom for Anu.

Anu's family, mainly her brother Surendra (Prakash Raj) and cousin, are involved in regional gangs in their village. When Anu takes out Bhadra to the temple for a visit, without the knowledge of Surendra, a rival gang member group is attacked by Anu's cousin's group members and one of the member of the rival group gets hold of Anu and threatens to kill Anu. In a swift action of bravery and skill, Bhadra knocks down the rival group member.

After this incident, Surendra gives Bhadra a talk about why things are so violent in the village. He explains how he is a master's degree holder from a prestigious university (BITS Pilani) and how his wife is also a master's degree holder. Unfortunately, due the nature of the villages, the rivalry is deadly and fatal. He ultimately says, even though the villages are violent, he will remain a noble person, with high ideals.
