Badlapur Movie Review - High Scope Container
After his not-so-successful drama Agent Vinod, Sriram Raghavan is
back with a revenge drama in the name of Badlapur. Starring Varun
dhawan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Huma Qureshi, the film hits the theatres
today.
Story:
Badlapur is a revenge saga of man named Raghu (Varun Dhawan), who loses his wife Misha (Yami Gautam) and kid, after they are killed in a bank robbery by Layak (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) and his partner Hurman (Vinay Pathak). While Hurman escapes with all the money, Layak is caught by the police and sentenced to imprisonment for 20 years. While Raghu tries to find the name of Layak’s partner, but in vain. After 15 years of search, an NGO worker, Shobha (Divya Dutta) informs Raghu about Layak’s cancer and asks Raghu to forgive Layak, so that he can spend his remaining days of his life out of jail. Even though he forgives Layak, the two come face to face and the truth is prevailed.
Do Raghu and Layak settle their equation? Forms the rest of the story…
Positive points:
Badlapur promises for an enthralling start and it sure delivers what it commits. The narrative from the firat scene to the last is worth a applaud. Speaking of performances, it was extremely smart of young Varun Dhawan to choose a movie like Badlapur to break the stereotype of a romantic hero attached to him. And bravo, what a performance he gives as a brooding, revenge seeking man. However, no one and I mean no one can take their eyes off this tsunami of talent, Nawazuddin Siddiqui whenever he steps on screen. From showing his emotional to the shady side, the actor is more than perfect. You will love the fact that you hate him in the movie. Vinay Pathak and Radhika Apte are fantastic in their parts. Yami Gautam and Huma too are amazing in their small yet integral roles.
Negative points:
The first half of the film is a little slow-paced, owing to the fact that the revenge drama is started only in the second half. It may be due to Nawaz’s presence, that Varun is side-lined in a few scenes and appears week. However, he does gain pace later on.
Technical aspects:
Living strong to his legacy, Sriram Raghavan makes sure that the film is technically sound. From the cinematography, involving the camera to cover the jail shots in the best way possible to the editing, which is extremely sharp and crisp, every techinal aspect is worth a mention.
The story falls flat in a few places, but sure comes back to keeping the viewers engaged. Songs are amazing and go well with the flow of film. They ray true to the genre. However, what is worth all the credit is Sriram’a direction. The filmmaker exactly knows how and when to take the best out of all his characters. He keeps his idea of story-telling simple yet so engaging and interesting. A few scenes with Vurun, Radhika and Vinay are simply mind blowing.
Verdict:
On a whole, even if you are not much of a fan of dark cinema, Badlapur is surely not a miss because of its tremendous performaces and techniques.

Bandipotu Movie Review – Decent Entertainer
After the decent success of Brother of Bommali, Allari Naresh is back
with yet another interesting project Bandipotu. Directed by Indraganti
Mohan Krishna, this film has hit the screens today . Let’s see how it
is.
Story:-
Vishwa (Allari Naresh) is a conman who keeps cheating rich people. One fine day, a girl named Jahnavi(Esha) meets Vishwa and hires him to con three ex best friends Makrandam(Tannikella Bharani) Seshagiri(Rao Ramesh) and Bale Babu(Posani).
Accepting her proposal, Vishwa manages to successfully con two of the three friends. Twist in the tale arises when Seshagiri and Makarandam come to know of this and plan a counter attack. Rest of the story is about how Vishwa manages to escape this counter attack and successfully cons the third friend Bale Babu.
Plus Points:-
With Bandipotu, you can see a new and rejuvenated Allari Naresh. Right from his looks to his performance, Naresh has done a decent job and proves that he can carry a film on his shoulders. All his confrontation scenes with Rao Ramesh have been executed well. Heroine Esha looks beautiful and has portrayed her character with a lot of confidence.
Major assets of the film are the performances of Tannikella Bharani and Rao Ramesh. Both these actors deliver a mature performance and give life to the film. Posani brings in a few laughs and is good in his role.
Chandra Mohan is apt in his character and so is Subhaleka Sudhakar. First half of the film is pretty decent and has some engaging moments. The way Naresh cons Bharani and Rao Ramesh has been executed quite well.
Minus Points:-
Major drawback of the film is lack of regular entertainment. Other than a few scenes in the first half, Bandipotu is little low on mass comedy. All those who expect good humor and fun from Naresh’s films will be a little disappointed with this flick.
Sampoornesh Babu is wasted in his role. Except for a brief scene in the first half, he is no where to be seen in the film. Bandipotu is a bit predictable and the twists and turns that are showcased are just about ok. Second half gets a bit serious and the proceedings take time to unfold.
Heroine Esha has absolutely nothing to do in the second half and is hardly there in the film.An item song breaks out of now where and spoils the flow of the film. Certain logics go missing and many scenes lack clarity.
Technical Aspects:-
Music by Kalyan Koduri is good and all the songs have been shot exceptionally well. Production values are pretty good as the makers have not compromised on the visuals. Screenplay of the film is crisp and all the scenes in the first half have been dealt interestingly.
Director Mohan Krishna presents Naresh in a new dimension and extracts decent performance from him. Dialogues are very good and suit the mood of the film. Camera work is pretty good and presents the film in a decent light.
Verdict:-
On the whole, Bandipotu will be a new leaf in Allari Naresh’s career. With this film he proves that he can carry an author backed role with aplomb. Naresh’s performance and an interesting set up are basic assets. If you go in with an open mind and forget Naresh’s typical comedy image, you might end up liking this different attempt.
