Badlapur full Story movie review:
Sriram Raghvan’s Badlapur is a gritty revenge story that revovles around Raghu’s (Varun Dhawan) life who is married to Mishti (Yami Gautam) and has a son Robin. Raghu’s life takes a big turn when his wife and son are killed by Laik (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) during a bank robbery.
Raghu then seeks to avenge his innocent wife and son’s murder. When Laik is caught by the police for his crime, Raghu takes revenge by sleeping with Liak’s girlfriend Jhumli (Huma Qureshi), however, Raghu is still unsatisfied.
Laik is sentenced for 20 years imprisonment, but he come out of jail after serving 15 years’ time due to his medical condition. The story again takes interesting twist right till the end.
Varun Dhawan’s has given his best performance till date in Badlapur as he completely gets into Raghu’s character. Nawazuddin’s character is brilliantly written and he too has given his best. Though he plays a negative character, he manages to bring some light moments in this dark story.
Yami Gautam and Huma Qureshi have very little roles and have done a decent job, nothing exceptional.
Sriram’s has captured the dark side of the film brilliantly on his camera. Certain scenes can give you goose bumps. For example the scene where Raghu forces himself on Jhumli or a Raghu’s anger when he bangs the bloody hammer over and over again.
As the tile of them movie suggests ‘Don’t miss the beginning’ the first ten minutes of the movie get you involved right from the start and is definitely not to be missed. However, though the first half keeps you glued to your sets, the second half of the movie is dragged to its climax.
Badlapur is definately a must watch with a brilliant direction and amazing performances by Varun Dhawan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
