Story :
“Badlapur†is a plot where a family man sets out to take revenge after being torn apart. Raghu (Varun Dhawan)is a happy married man who has a beautiful wife Mishti (Yami Gautam), his college sweetheart and a son Robin. Their happy life is devastated when both his wife and son are killed in a bank robbery.
Layak (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), mastermind of the two robbers involved in the robbery, is caught by the police. Raghu tries to avenge his family loss by forcefully sleeping with Layak’s prostitute girlfriend Jhumli (Huma Qureshi). Even as 15 years pass by, Raghu is unable to overcome his past. Layak, broken and dissapointed from many failed attempts to escape jail, is now ill. Due to his medical condition, Layak gets bail and comes out of the jail after 15 years. Here begins a slow, elaborate, visually shocking yet alluring way to seek revenge which is taken by Raghu.
Analysis :
“Badlapur†is a twisted entertainer. If your interest is some bloody action movie, then it’s your type. Sriram Raghavan’s “Badlapur†is simple yet twisting. The plot of the film is intense and intriguing along with the straight forward dialogues and cult image of Raghu’s character which will make you glued to your seat till the end of the movie. Sriram Raghavan has done his best to capture the dark side of the movie.
Certain scenes seemed unnecessary, such as brief conversation between Huma and Varun towards the end is a drag. Sriram’s this movie does not go to the level of “EK Hasina Thiâ€, which was the true definition of a revenge story. “Badlapur†is mediocre.
Performance :
Varun is seen in a complete different avatar. His astonishing transformation from a lover boy in “Student of the Year†to a revenge thirsty man in “Badlapur†has shocked one and all. With this look, “Badlapur†is expected to be a game changer for the young lad.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is a gem. Inspite of being the villain, he will make you laugh in this film. Yami Gautam and Huma Qureshi have limited roles in the film. Both of them did an average job and leave nothing remarkable in the film.
Final Word:“Badlapur†is a value for money film. “Badlapur†is all fury and fog, a revenge saga that plays out with great eyebrow-singeing intensity. The film’s best element Varun Dhawan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui own this film right from the start.
