Badlapur: The end is also a must see as like the beginning
Badlapur 's claim is don't miss the beginning. And actually true. I missed the first 15 minutes and through the film I was clueless, however, could join the dots, once I requested the cinema hall incharge to stand back for 10 minutes (in the next show) and watch those lost 10 minutes. And boy those first 10 minutes really really lays the foundation for the film. The typical revenge noire and the clichés attached therefore can be safely assumed to be missing from this Shriram Raghavan film. Infact he seems to have got his mojo back since the Johnny Gaddar days. In between was the forgettable Agent Vinod. The first 20 minutes of the film lays the foundation for the next 2 1/2 hours of the story. Nawaz, Varun, Huma, Radhika Apte, Vinay Pathak, Ashwini Kalsekar, Yami, Divya Dutta to name a few. Each one pitched in perfectly. However, Badlapur owes it to the director and his vision. Shriram has always focused on the script and that remains the king, Johnny Gaddar or Ek Haseena Th
