Badlapur!

Varun Dhavan in "Badlapur"

Varun Dhavan is getting there and he is getting there fast. Yes, I mean the “A listers” of Bollywood bandwagon. Last movie we saw him in was “Humpty sharma ki dulhania” opposite Alia bhat, who also debuted with him in “Student of the year”.

I personally feel as if I have witnessed Varun Dhavan grow right in front of my eyes. His school boy roll in “student of the year”, the college going boy in “Humpty sharma ki dulhania” and now as a married man who works in a n ad agency in “Badlapur”.

Initially, I wasn’t really impressed with the promos of this film as it was still somehow baffling and didn’t place it in a segment, firmly. To me, it appeared as if “Badlapur” is going to be another futile attempt by some film maker with over blown egotism to prove his cinematic supremacy and creative superiority.

But, the film is almost a master piece, at least as far as the performance of most actors is concerned. The story is fresh and apart from few glitches takes you through quite comfortably.

Huma Qureshi

Huma is limiting in impressing the people who matter. She is limiting herself in similar Hot Huma characters.You can feel her struggle to get in the skin of the character of Jhimli as he is too refined to play the character. Yami Gautam is in a brief role which does not really need a mention.

Nawazuddin

I am speechless about Nawaz’s acting. But, this is not the first time he has impressed us with his almost perfect acting skills. The role it appears was made for him.

Though, there isn’t much of it, music is a bit disappointing but with murder as its core theme, you can’t play around much, yes, even in Bollywood.

I would say “Badlapur” is a sensible movie with sensible direction from Sriram Raghavan. 

RATING:   3/5
