Badla

I'm not one to turn down any movie with Amitabh Bachchan and this was a fun one to watch. Full of twists, turns and dead ends it does keep you guessing. I like this type of mystery once in awhile and the timing was right for me. There is some nice scenery in places, but most of the story telling occurs in one room. There are a few minor stumbles in the script, but nothing that destroys the story. Even though one lie was fairly obvious from the start, the entire story kept changing enough to make me doubt myself a little. As always, Amitabh Bachchan uses his voice to pull you in and hold your attention. The rest of the cast is good and does their part to make the movie succeed.

If you like a tale told with many sharp corners, abrupt slamming on the brakes and the suspense of seeing someone wrapped up in their own lies, you will enjoy this movie. The only unfortunate aspect of such a movie is that even old ladies, like myself, are unlikely to forget the outcome, so it is a watch once experience.
