Supporting roles prove their great importance in Badla. Though playing just a cameo as Naina's legal counsel, Manay Kaul's still to leave a positive impression. Besides, Tony Luke is considered the hidden weapon of the film when bringing unpredictability to the murder's investigation. But above all, Amrita Singh is the name we cannot miss out. She successfully changes her typical types of characters on screen, provoking deep emotions and feeling.
Generally, Badla is brilliantly made, claiming to be a worth-watching thriller work at the beginning of 2019. Despite being an adaptation, it's not a copy version but trying to create as many interests as possible. However, the predictable ending makes the audiences lost their pace of attention sometimes.
