Badlapur Review: Nawaz Outshines Varun In This Revenge saga
A
noir psychological thriller, Sriram Raghavan explores the connected
motivations of revenge and redemption in Badlapur. When two bank robbers
kill his wife and child, Raghu’s (Varun Dhawan) world is turned upside
down. Shattered and possessed by grief, he cannot see beyond vengeance.
While one bank robber, Liaq (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is jailed for 20 years
for the crime; his partner, Harman (Vinay Pathak) roams scot-free.
Raghu bides his time. But time is cruel: rather than heal his wounds, it
infects them.
Raghu moves to a dead-end place called Badlapur where he works a
mechanical job as a factory foreman and leads a pared down lonely life,
mourning daily for the loss of his young family. As time passes, Dhawan
begins to look more under slept, as if bearing the weight of the world
on his shoulders. In the meanwhile, Liaq has aged and his wild ways
catch up with him during his incarceration. Siddiqui plays the part with
measures of mischief and evil. When he gets out, Liaq dreams of taking
his half of the stolen money and escaping to Bangkok with his love, a
commercial sex worker played by Huma Qureshi.Raghu, in the meanwhile, besides nurturing a simmering violence, has also, inexplicably, become a misogynist, displaying blatant disrespect for all the women he encounters. Among them are characters like a social worker played by Divya Dutta and Harman’s wife, Kanchan, played by Radhika Apte. Till mid-way the film is gripping, with a fine screenplay based on one of Italian crime writer Massimo Carlotto’s novels. The camerawork and music enhance the mood that peaks at interval point but then flattens out later and ends tamely.
Sadly one never feels Raghu’s torture or his angst, this might be in part due to Dhawan’s lack of maturity to pull off this complex part though there are scenes where the internalization of his grief does rise to his eyes, if only his diction were better. But it’s a Siddiqui show all right and he appears to be relishing the role. The supporting cast includes Yami Gautam, Qureshi, Dutta, Apte, Pathak etc and each one does a fine job. Worth a watch but with managed expectations.

Saif defends mother Sharmila Tagore against Censor Board chief's allegations
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor arrive at the birthday party of actor Randhir Kapoor in Mumbai on Feb 15, 2015.
“Omkara was her son Saif Ali Khan’s film. The board cleared it after being pressurised by her, which set the trend and release of films like Gangs of Wasseypur happened,” Nihalani was quoted as saying.
Now, Saif has come out in support of his mother. “She is a liberal, extremely intelligent and experienced chairperson. We should always have a censor chief like her, but too often, we will have someone less passionate about cinema and more political-minded,” says the actor, adding, “Having said that, I love Pahlaj ji. He is liberal, and is a great lover of cinema too. He’s entitled to his opinion. But, I cannot imagine my mother bending rules for her children; she is too fair.”
