Sujoy Ghosh's 'Badla' is a smart and unpredictable thriller that has got most of it's texture right. The craft is perfect and so is the casting of the female characters. But the other cast is all over the place. Watch 'Badla' to see how even a simplistic thriller can be hugely enjoyable provided that the writing is layered and the ideas are all right.

Sujoy Ghosh's Badla is a smart crime thriller that depends heavily on its top two characters' ability to make poker face, a quality that if you manage to decode will spoil the mood of the film as well as prevent you from enjoying the chilling revelation and the even more chilling actions of these monstrous characters.
