The title and trailer suggest that the film is a revenge drama and that the story will revolve around Varun Dhawan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui facing off. But what you don't expect is seeing this in the first few minutes of the film and spectacular performances from both these actors. That's the magic of director Sriram Raghavan, who shocks you in the first few scenes and then lets the story gradually unfold.
Despite its intense and chaotic overtones, what sets this story apart is the undercurrent of the real emotions that touch the right cords. But with a firm pre-interval, it's the second half of the story that fails to impress, thus bringing down the narration a notch.
Revenge can be triggered by hate, loss of love, anger, grief or animosity. And avenging one's family can make one ruthlessly vindictive. That's what Badlapur is all about - avenging one's departed family.
Raghav aka Raghu (Varun Dhawan) is a content guy who lives with his wife Misha (Yami Gautam) and son in Pune. Raghu loses his wife and son, when they are accidentally killed during a bank robbery chase, where the police are chasing the robbers Layak (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) and his partner in crime Harman (Vinay Pathak). In a perpetual state of shock, Raghu never comes to terms with the tragedy.
Layak, who is caught by the police, blames Harman for killing Raghu's family. Raghu tries to avenge his loss by trying to pursue Layak's prostitute girlfriend Jhumli (Huma Qureshi) to help him find Harman but fails. While Layak is given a 20-year jail sentence, Raghu still harbours his demons that come to the fore 15 years later, when a NGO worker, Shobha (Divya Dutta) tells Raghu that Layak is dying and asks Raghu to help get him out of jail on medical grounds.
Soon Raghu finds Harman and his wife Kanchan (Radhika Apte). Layak too tries to contact Harman for his share of the loot. Once again, Raghu tries to avenge his family and trails his wife and son's killer. How he succeeds in doing so forms the crux of the story.
Directorially, Raghavan impresses yet again with his panache while handling complex stories. He impresses with the conviction in his storyline and weaves together an intriguing film. It is a revenge drama and a genre like this needs complex performances and Dhawan and Siddiqui are on the money. Their performances are the biggest highlight of the film. Driven by power-packed performances, the film has a well-rounded first half but the narration dips post-interval.
The first half of the film is a smooth ride with the story's consistency intact. But the expected vengefulness in the second half of the film doesn't really connect. However, there are some sequences that are brilliant. For instance, the scenes where Layak tries to run away from jail and his tactics fail; the interaction between Raghu and Layak; Raghu's emotional breakdowns; and Layak and Jhumli's relationship.
Music by Sachin-Jigar and background score are catchy and suit the pace of the film. Cinematography by Anil Mehta earns brownie points. Mehta's camera work adds to the narration. Editing by Pooja Ladha Surti is sharp and to the point. With a runtime of 135 minutes, the film is well balanced but the narration pre- and post-interval varies in pace, forcing the audience's attention to waver. Locations and costumes are apt.
Performance-wise, Varun Dhawan has proved his mettle as an actor and deserves a standing ovation for his performance. Dhawan not only plays his part with the right amount of angst but also shows a substantial level of control over his act. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is an outstanding actor and he proves it once again in the fearless portrayal of his part. Siddiqui not only impresses with subtleness in his character rendition but is exceptional when it comes to balancing his body language with his lines.
Huma Qureshi beautifully captures the essence of her role. Yami Gautamis all right. Divya Dutta is superb in her role. Vinay Pathak is noteworthy. Kumud Mishra establishes his character to the fullest and is notable. Radhika Apte excels in her part. The others, from Pratima Kannan to Murli Sharma and Ashwini Kalsekar are credible in their respective parts. The rest of the supporting cast does well.
Verdict: The film's modest budget, aggressive promotions and Varun Dhawan's popularity helped it take a good opening. A winner at the ticket counter.
I m reading The Hindu since 2011 regularly. they usually find some faults here and there- even with queen and Baby. so for me it's first time.
