First of, Badlapur.
What was the budget of this film?
A very nice film. Emotions were well captured. I wouldn't say it was something totally new, story was recycled but I enjoyed it. Thoroughly. All acted very good, it was a treat to watch.
Now Varun. I'm not big on him but honestly, if I see any young actor pulling a crowd as huge as the Khans in his 40's + then it's Varun. I see a lot of potential in him. He has shown he can do anything and everything within such a short span of time. If there is someone that can do it, then it's Varun Dhawan. No questions about that.

Also, what was the message in Badlapur? To let to go anguish you have for someone.. to forgive and forget? I like it. He wanted to kill Laik, and he killed other people to kill Laik, but at the end, he was never able to kill Laik...so now he has to finally let go. He will never be able to kill Laik as he wanted to. He has to move on, and the lesson is, he should have moved on in the last 15 years, instead of taking lives..and have to remember it for the rest of your life.
Music...tremendous.
Rating: 4/5
I saw Badlapur yesterday...
and I would definitely have to disagree with what you thought the message is.
The message is IMO centered around Laik's character. He ends up going back to jail, figuring out that getting freedom through the patli gali is not all that it's cut out to be. He in the end preferred to serve his term if it will in any way deliver justice to Raghav, because life was not what he thought it would be after getting out of prison.
If a loved one dies, I don't think it's very decent to give them the advice of "moving on" for the better of others.
