Way to go Varun Dhawan !!! Shedding his chocolate boy tag, the guy has transformed brilliantly as Reghu in Badlapur Film
to stake his claim among the top actors of the current crop. What he
has did through this stellar performance is that his contribution in
this Sriram Raghavan directed flick is the major highlight here. At the same time, one cannot ignore the contribution of Nawazuddin Siddiqui and rest of the supporting casts who all were brilliant in their respective roles to make Badlapur a must watch revenge drama.
Running at a very fast pace and backed by well structured screenplay,
Badlapur has a solid and powerful story in its kitty. So right from the
word go, there is no time to relax. Engaging from start till finish and
Sreeram Raghavan shows his class and makes a strong comeback after his
last movie Agent Vinod which was something that he shouldn't have done.
Set in Pune where our protagonist Reghu is living a happy life with his wife and son. His life is devastated through a bank robbery episode involving Liak and his friend that kills Reghu's wife and son. Liak is imprisoned for twenty years but Reghu is not ready to forget this dark chapter of his life and takes revenge in his own way.
Memorable and power packed scenes are there in plenty, thanks to the writing team behind the movie. Sriram has clear control over the proceedings that at no stage things go out of hand. Second half is a bit lengthier and lags a bit but a fitting and powerful climax compensates for all of that.
Varun as said is in top form and the character of Reghu no doubt is the best of his brief but successful career. Equally supporting was Nawazuddin and the script is written in such a way that at times we feel for his character Liak though he is the bad guy in the film. Among the female leads, Huma Qureshi, Radhika Apte, Yami Gautham and Divya Dutta were matching each other. Taking no credits away from the other female actors, it was Huma who was more impressive amon the four. If a mention is not made about Vinay Pathak, the review would be incomplete since his contribution in the post intermission part is not be forgotten. Sachin-Jigar's music is another factor to spice up the film and all songs in different genre are worth hearing again and again.
So what are you waiting for, just run to your nearest cinema halls and grab your tickets to watch this fully engaging and stunning film. I am going with four out of five for Sriram Raghavan's Badlapur. "Don't miss the beginning"; that's the tag line says but it is much more than that. It should be "Don't miss the film in its entirety"
Rating - 4 / 5
