The sheer thrill of watching a film and not knowing what will happen next is one of the great pleasures offered by director Sriram Raghavans unpredictable and deliciously twisted revenge thriller Badlapur. For the most part, the film keeps you on your toes, curious to see where its twists and turns will lead.Im going with three-and-a-half out of five for Badlapur.

You need a strong stomach to absorb the revenge saga #Badlapur. The premise may be simplistic, but the twists/turns are unconventional. Sriram Raghavan stays true to its genre. The dark goings-on may make you uncomfortable, while the tension keeps you on tenterhooks. Badlapur rests on bravura performances. Nawazuddin has a chameleon-like trait. Embraces his part with brilliancy. Backbone of this thriller. Varun Dhawan portrays a troubled man with gusto, shedding the ‘Student’ tag and donning the robe of a mature, accomplished actor

On the whole, Badlapur will be liked more by the classes and will score in the big cities, ultimately proving a safe bet. Its appeal for the womenfolk, families and the small centres is limited.

Badlapur is all fury and fog, a revenge saga that plays out with such eyebrow-singeing intensity that I could imagine a gravel-voiced narrator filling us in on dames and dreams and dark, stormy nights.As the curtain falls on Badlapur, any argument on rightness feels both moot and muddy. This is a noir world, its aftertaste like chocolate with 85% cocoa, and the answer is deceptively simple: Who gets right of way? The one in a greater hurry.

Sriram Raghavan’s neo-noir crime thriller is about vengeance and forgiveness all right, but one thing that the film isn’t is conventional. Badlapur toys with many shades of grey, significantly enhancing the effect of its pivotal dramatic conflict.In conclusion, Badlapur might not be in the Ek Hasina Thi and Johnny Gaddar league, but it is a happy sign that Sriram Raghavan has left Agent Vinod behind.

Badlapur is a gobsmacking movie that suffuses on screen – a deftly written story, spectacular performances and an intelligently layered screenplay. What works best here is the film’s unpredictability. From the minute it begins, you’re latched to your seat with your heart throbbing in your mouth and your throat frequently choking up. For the sheer impact the movie conjures up, writer-director Sriram Raghavan deserves a bow

In the way it opens, Badlapur is so riveting you dont even want to blink. The rest of the tale is choppy, sometimes leaping off the screen with the right degree of unpredictability, bringing us back to the edge of our seats again, and then letting us off. The look is all lush noir-thriller and transfers instantly, but getting the feel across feels like a stretch.

While the first half keeps you firmly in its grip, the second half starts meandering a little till it captures you back with an absolutely unforeseeable climax. What you mainly take away from this movie is its core; a story (written by Sriram Raghavan) that tells us that most often the situation is the villain. And, perhaps, each of us is capable of turning a criminal when faced with an extreme situation.

Badlapur is a complete performance driven film. It is one of the best neo-noir representation in Indian cinema. Badlapur is not everyones regular coffee, its black coffee! This film deals with dark humor and so if your taste buds can enjoy bloody revenges, you will savor this as a delicacy.
