Plot
Babruahana returns home to Bangalore from France and hopes to author a book. He goes to meet gorgeous Radha, a school-friend, on whom he always had a crush. They meet and continue meeting, and Babruahana hopes to propose to her soon. He then sets about to meet his favorite author, Ramana, as well as his estranged love, Vanamala. He does not look forward to meeting his widowed father, but does so, and finds him remarried to Madhu. He will also find that a six-lane highway is about to be built around his ancestral home, which may be demolished. He also catches up with his friend, Siddharth, who has become a much-revered Sanyasi. As he struggles to adapt to the changes – nothing prepares him for the shocks that await him.

Reception
A critic from Bollywood Hungama wrote that "Really, this film is made for a very very very niche audience and even for that segment which revels on decoding art house cinema, Bengaloored could be quite an ordeal to sit through in entirety".{{cite web | url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/features/dvd-review-bengaloored/ | title=DVD Review: Bengaloored : Bollywood News – Bollywood Hungama | website=Bollywood Hungama | date=22 March 2011 }}
