Years after his wife and son are murdered, Raghu finds out who pulled the trigger and sets out for revenge.

What is left is a bunch of jugular-grabbing explosive scenes, which make you sigh for the film this could have been. It should have left us scorched; it doesn't.

Rated: 2.5/5

This is no mindless gore-fest, as the director and actors do a good job of drawing you into their heads - no matter how warped or twisted.

Rated: 4/5

Badlapur is among the finest Indian thrillers I've seen over the last year, and Raghavan's best film in many years.

Raghavan takes one of the most worn-in genres in Bollywood and makes it fresh. Raghavan questions the nature of revenge, he questions whether the revenge justifies the crime, and whether our ideas of good and evil might need a rehaul.

Raghu is as solid as Siddiqui's Laiq is fluid. Laiq is the movie's gem in the rough, an optimist and a survivor whose final act of defiance against his unending quest to escape poverty is a masterstroke of writing and performance.

Badlapur will leave viewers feeling all charged up and perhaps even deeply conflicted about the characters they just encountered on the screen.

Sriram Raghavan's "Badlapur" is his second best film after "Andhadhun". Unsettling, dark, rustic and profoundly layered, this deep thriller exerts solid twists and turns because it's intriguing cinema at it's most exciting and horribly fleshy. The revenge and vendetta dramas scale new heights in this adventurous modern tragedy where a man takes the revenge of the killing of his wife and child. This is a very good film because it's realistic and nuanced, and benefits from Nawazuddin Siddiqui's evilness of touch, Varun Dhawan's vulnerability and passion play as Raghu, and the dark humor exerted by Radhika Apte and Huma Qureshi's female leads. The only flaw- and possibly what does greatest disservice to the film- is it's Anurag Kashyap-style indulgence of craft, which makes the second half and first half sag considerably sag in their beginning and end respectively. That aside, going in for "Badlapur" is going for some great, cannibalizing joy! And an unpredictable ride.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It is a good watch by Sri Ram Ragvan. Nawaz is good as always but I liked how Varun Dhawan knows for his comic timing and role steeped into a dark role.
