    Suspense and thriller is a genre where Bollywood has always been at a backfoot.

    There are very few


    films that are memorable. Possibly, in recent years one such movie was KAHAANI (2012), directed by
    Sujoy Ghosh. The ace director comes yet again with a suspense thriller ‘BADLA’. As a result, the
    expectations are naturally high and the buzz was created from the moment the first look of the movie was
    out. Another reason which created curiosity among the audience was that ‘BADLA’ reunites the actors of
    much-loved courtroom drama ‘PINK’ Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and Tapsee Pannu.

    Plot
    ‘BADLA’ is a remake of brilliant Spanish Thriller “The Invisible Guest”. The story revolves around a person
    accused of a murder trying to prove her innocence. The drama majorly unfolds between two characters
    Naina (Tapsee Pannu) and Badal Gupta (Amitabh Bachchan). The tried formula for revenge is the main
    crux of the story. Tapsee Pannu plays the role of a successful businesswoman married in London. There
    is a sudden 360-degree turn in her life when she is accused of murdering her lover, Arjun Joseph (Tony
    Luke). All shreds of evidence are against Naina. Naina’s lawyer Jimmy Punjabi (Manav Kaul) hires an
    expert defense attorney Badal Gupta (Amitabh Bachchan) to ensure that she doesn’t have to go to jail.
    Badal meets Naina and the story start to unravel.

    Direction:
    The direction of Sujoy Ghosh is outstanding. It is his sharp direction and tight adapted screenplay that
    holds the attention of the audience. Although by the second half you are able to predict where the climax
    is heading to, still there is enough dose of twists and turns that keep you engaged. Oriol Paulo’s story (the
    original writer) is quite impressive and Sujoy has very convincingly restructured the screenplay keeping in
    mind the Indian viewership. Badla could have been slightly shorter and a bit edgier, but these are minimal
    flaws that can be overlooked.

    Performances:
    Both the main leads Amitabh Bachchan and Tapsee Pannu deliver a memorable performance. They are
    convincing in their roles. The way different shades of the character of Tapsee Pannu unfold is
    praiseworthy. Throughout the movie, it is difficult to understand is Naina a victim or not. Amitabh
    Bachchan adds to the intense drama and also brings about the necessary humor which is required for an
    intense movie like ‘BADLA’. It was refreshing to see Amrita Singh in a different role. It is hard to believe
    that such a character can be written for actors of the senior lot. She has yet again proved that she has a
    lot more left in her and deserves to be seen more often on screen. Manav Kaul in a special appearance
    did justice to his role. Tony Luke, who debuts with this movie, was comfortable and has portrayed the
    character with aplomb. He has an accent but here it works in his favor.

    Music & other Technicalities:


    ‘BADLA’ does not have any songs and this works in favor of the narrative. Clinton Cerejo’s background
    score is engaging and suits the mood of the film. The cinematography of the film is of top-notch. The
    countryside visuals are stunning. The art direction and production design of the movie is average.
    Overall, ‘BADLA is an impressive suspense thriller. After the debacle of KAHAANI 2, Sujoy Ghosh returns
    with a well-made movie. The shocking climax and solid performances ‘BADLA’ will hold strong at the Box
    Office.
    For me, it was 3.5 stars.
