But, after his young wife Yami Gautham and kid are caught in the crossfire during a bank robbery, it's all dark and gory from there on.< P> The performances, nonetheless, are amazing and the movie remains Varun Dhawan’s best performance till date.

While he hires a private detective to find out about Layak and discovers that there is girlfriend too in the picture, all he does is force himself on the woman - Jhumli (Huma Qureshi), a prostitue! Even the scene where Raghav reveals his identity and scares Jhumli, lacks the force that a man avenging his wife's death on the murderer's girlfriend should wield. That Raghav could be accused of being a tad laidback in his modus operandi only takes away from the drama. For a story as simple as this, the revenge and angst do not quite come out as passionately as one would have wished. It maintains a dark tone throughout, but does not quite build the tempo required for a thriller. Perhaps, this is where Raghavan's script fails. The drama builds in the film while we wait for Layak's accomplices to surface. What we do not know is how and when will he take his revenge. There is no suspense here: We know who killed Raghav's wife right at the beginning of the film. How Raghav avenges the death of the people he loved the most is what Badlapur is all about. Layak is sentenced to 20 years' jail imprisonment and it is only fifteen years after the incident that Raghav discovers Harman. One of the accused, Layak (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is caught, but his accomplice, Harman (Vinay Pathak), manages to flee. It is about Raghav, whose wife and kid are killed for no fault of theirs. Raghavan keeps the story in Badlapur simple. Raghav (Varun Dhawan) plays a cool, loving husband, doing very well for his career in an ad agency: He's proud of his newest campaign for a push-up bra! His happy life is changed for ever when his wife, Yami Gautam, is killed when she is caught in a crossfire between a bunch of bank robbers and the cops.Yes, there are no more pink, fluffy romance or love in the movie, except for Varun's flashback sessions. Does the movie live up to the hype? Here's what Badlapur is all about. That this national-award winning filmmaker was also responsible for Ek Hasina Thi, a brilliant thriller starring Urmila Matondkar and Saif Ali Khan, only raised expectations in the days before Badlapur. Badlapur was touted to be Raghavan's comeback film, a revenge drama seldom seen on Indian screens. Never mind that his last outing, Agent Vinod (2012), disappeared without a whimper. Sriram Raghavan's Badlapur opens on a very tantalising note with an African proverb: 'The axe forgets, the tree remembers'. Cast: Varun Dhawan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Huma Qureshi, Yami Gautam
