We got in touch with film critic and trade analyst Girish Johar to know his views.
Talking to Financial Express online, Girish Johar said, “Badla has a deadly combination of Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu which is a key point to have chances of a bright release.”
Girish further mentioned, “However in terms of target audiences Badla is restricted in terms of appeal! It is a genre thriller and not a mass genre!
“As far as Badla collection is concerned, the film may earn around Rs 3 to 4 crore on day 1,” he added.
Tracing the journey of Naina (Taapsee’s character), Badla focuses on the interaction between her and her lawyer (played by Bachchan), who attempts to seek the truth. With a tight narrative, Badla promises to be an edge-of-the-seat film with absolutely no room for distraction! The trailer has piqued the curiosity of cinegoers.
Watch trailer:
Badla is highly awaited as its trailer had garnered a lot of buzz amongst the audience. The song Kyun Rabba by Amaal Malik and Armaan Malik too have found some takers.
But, in the end, it all depends on how much Badla is able to leave the audience gobsmacked?
