if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This is my very first review of any film after watching about every masterpieces around the globe. This is only to praise Indian cinema. These types of movies are required for audience to think about revenge.Very Raw......absolute real image of revenge. How a protagonist becomes antagonist and when an antagonist becomes protagonist, it has happened in a very subtle way....very gradually.The only thing which I disliked was that the story itself is not sufficient to make anyone intact to the screen. It's less entertaining, but after watching you will definitely think about this for hours or days.The first scene of this movie is awesome. Very unique type of camera shot which I have seen so far.This is not a Tarantino style revenge drama which focus on stylish killing, gore and blood. This is a movie which anyone should watch alone without any interruption. Those people who involve in the character while watching movies, this movie is for them.

The whole point of the movie is to show the real partial nature of human conscience. Story is about Dhawan, who loses his wife and son in a crime committed by a gang of criminals. And then Dhawan goes medieval and does so many things, which will be deemed as crime in eyes of law and unacceptable in the eyes of humanity, but still we consider him right and have sympathy with him for what he went through. Director wanted to confuse the audience about their choice of the hero and the villain and he did. The audience perceives the real perpetrator as the hero and real sufferer as the villain. SPOILER : Dhawan kills two people with hammer after breaking their relationship, rapes a woman and beats up a cancer patient. Navazzuddin, on other hand, commits a murder by mistake or you can say, when he is out of control, faces a jail-term, completes it and is diagnosed with cancer, looks at his friends being killed and girlfriend being raped. But still, we call him the villain and supposedly are on the actor's side. Great, dark flick. Dhawan's first non-chocolaty boy role and looks great. Navazzudin is the best actor in the movie. Movie is dark and is at par with action packed drama-thriller movies of Hollywood. It is a must watch in my very honest opinion.

BADLAPUR is the kind of dark, revenge-fuelled thriller that Hollywood have been accustomed to making in the last decade. It bears the hallmarks of earlier films like TAKEN or MAN ON FIRE, featuring a broken protagonist out on a mission of revenge, although it should be noted that it's a rather subtle and slow-burning revenge in places as BADLAPUR has a rather overlong running time and a very slow pace throughout.The twist, of course, is that this is an Indian film. I've not seen much in the way of Bollywood cinema, typically limiting myself to older fantasy or horror movies, but I was sufficiently impressed by this film to want to see more. While the story is dragged out too much for my liking, the direction is fine and the cinematography is very good indeed, with lots of bright and vivid colours and scenes making a great change from the usual dull greyed-out colour palette favoured by Hollywood and its imitators.This isn't really an exciting or action-packed movie as it's more thoughtful than that. The villainous characters seem to have a greater focus and more characterisation than the actual hero. It's also a pretty dark story, with an odyssey of revenge leading to plenty of violence, and the female characters are treated particularly badly by the story. There are a couple of very violent interludes which are shocking considering the film's genteel pace elsewhere. It's a thoughtful and thought-provoking movie well worth a watch for those looking for something different compared to the usual Hollywood norm.

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! Can he avenge the deaths of people who meant the world to him?While the layers smoothly unfold in this vendetta affair, Raghavan's clarity of vision keeps the narrative seamless. The wicked humour sprinkled abruptly in the sequences draws one
