#Badla is trending superbly… Shatters the myth [within the industry] that film biz hits rock bottom during examinations and pre-Holi period… Despite new films taking away screens/shows, #Badla *Weekend 2* [₹ 18.70 cr] is slightly lower than *Weekend 1* [₹ 23.20 cr]. 👌👌👌

The film stands tall with a total collection of ₹56.70 crores. Badla, as the name suggests, is a revenge story where Naina (Taapsee Pannu) is accused of the murder of Arjun (Tony Luke). Naina’s lawyer, Jimmy (Manav Kaul) hires the senior advocate Badal Gupta (Amitabh Bachchan) to help her get out of the case. The story takes a series of interesting twists and turns when Naina confesses her deeds to Badal.
The direction given by Sujoy Ghosh is full of thrills and genuine twists with great effects. The cinematography by Avik Mukhopadhyay and Editing by Monisha R Baldawa compliments Sujoy’s direction. ‘Badla’ is captivating with a thrilling end.
