"Revenge is best served when cold" - Quote you can see before the credit starts rolling out in the movie Kill Bill, directed by Quentin Tarantino. Badlapur is one such revenge drama that is gruesome, intense and hard-hitting.
A common man life is ruined when his wife and son is killed during a bank robbery. He waits for 20 years to fulfill his act of revenge.
Sriram Raghavan, the talent behind revenge saga Ek Haseena Thi and spellbinding Johnny Gaddar comes back with a bang. With no time wasting, Raghavan immediately introduces you to the plot right from the beginning using flashbacks in between the scenes. The 1st half moves in at a snail pace but picks up the in the later half. The act of revenge on each person involved in the murder is bloody and violent. However, the tautness of script is missing when the main drama unfolds in the climax and clearly Raghavan misses the mark in the end. Editing should be crispy along with more attention required in the main conversation between Varun Dhawan and Nawazzudin Siddique. The revenge drama is spiced up with little humor with foot-tapping music by Sachin-Jigar. Art direction and cinematography is nice. The performances by the star cast is applauding and compensates for the minuses. Varun Dhawan sheds his chocolate-look-lover-boy image and shows his dark side. with brilliant act. Watch for him when he meets Nawazzuddin for the first time in the hospital. Nawazuddin Siddique is brilliant as usual playing the negative role after KICK.
Overall, Badlapur is a hard-hitting,revenge drama which is not for the light hearted. Good 3/5
