Two friends, Liak ([[Nawazuddin Siddiqui]]) and Harman ([[Vinay Pathak]]), rob a bank in Pune and steal a car belonging to Misha ([[Yami Gautam]]) and her son Robin, forcing them to flee. During the ensuing chase, Robin falls out of the vehicle while Misha gets shot. As per the plan, Harman jumps out of the car and escapes while the police arrest Liak. Both Misha and Robin succumb to their injuries in a hospital and later die, shattering her husband and his father Raghav "Raghu" Purohit ([[Varun Dhawan]]), who violently attacks Liak in prison before learning through Inspector Govind ([[Kumud Mishra]]) that Liak had a partner.

Soon, Raghu approaches a private detective, Mrs. Joshi ([[Ashwini Kalsekar]]), who tells him about Liak's girlfriend and sex worker, Jhimli ([[Huma Qureshi]]). Raghu meets and interrogates her and offers all the insurance money he received for his son's death in exchange for telling him Liak's partner's name, but Jhimli refuses. As a result, an enraged Raghu forces her to dance for him and eventually assaults her. Liak is convicted for the robbery and sentenced to jail, and Raghu exiles himself to a reclusive life far away from Pune. | ||

Raghu is approached by a social worker, Shobha ([[Divya Dutta]]), who asks him to forgive Liak, but he declines. However, he has a change of mind when he's told Liak's partner's name by his mother, Zeenat ([[Pratima Kazmi]]), who wants her son to be paroled on compassionate grounds. Liak is paroled but is followed by a cop secretly so as to be led to Harman, his partner. Raghu locates Harman and gets close to his wife Kanchan "Koko" Khatri ([[Radhika Apte]]), who invites him for lunch to their home where Raghu's true intentions are revealed. Harman agrees that he was a participant in the robbery but denies having killed Misha and Robin, and tries to deal with Raghu, who threatens to call the police. Koko begins to plead with him to spare them, in exchange for which Raghu demands her sleeping with him. Harman and Raghu have a fight in which Raghu overpowers the former and proceeds to the bedroom, where he exacts his revenge by making Koko strip and forcing her to scream, in order to make Harman believe they're having sex. | ||
Liak contacts Harman for his share of money and arranges a meeting. However, Raghu arrives at Harman's house first, where he murders Koko and Harman with a hammer. He then goes to meet Shobha and pretends to be in love with her, creating a perfect alibi. Liak grows suspicious when the police start investigating Harman's disappearance along with his wife. He is told by Zeenat that she gave Harman's name to Raghu in exchange for Liak's own freedom. Shobha is enraged to discover that Raghu told the cops they had sex. Raghu arrives at the home, where a fight ensues between him and Liak, resulting in Raghu beating the latter unconscious. As Liak wakes up, Raghu explains his entire modus operandi before Liak reveals himself to be the one who killed Raghu's family out of panic, unlike Raghu, who, Liak points out, planned his murders with a cool mind and without guilt. He then goes to meet Jhimli, who's now a concubine of a local businessman, Patil ([[Zakir Hussain (actor)|Zakir Hussain]]), for one last time and tells her he's nearing death. Having circumstantial evidence against Raghu, Govind tries to blackmail him into giving him Liak's share of the money. However, Liak walks into the police station and takes the blame for Raghu's crimes, giving him a second chance to live his life and redeeming himself. | Liak contacts Harman for his share of money and arranges a meeting.

The film was released on 20 February 2015.[6] Box Office India reported that Badlapur grossed approximately ₹81.3 crore (US$11 million) worldwide.[7]
On 11 January 2016, the film was nominated for Best Film in the 61st Filmfare Awards, as well as other categories.
Plot
Two friends, Liak (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) and Harman (Vinay Pathak), rob a bank in Pune and steal a car belonging to Misha (Yami Gautam) and her son Robin, forcing them to flee. During the ensuing chase, Robin falls out of the vehicle while Misha gets shot. As per the plan, Harman jumps out of the car and escapes while the police arrest Liak. Both Misha and Robin succumb to their injuries in a hospital and later die, shattering her husband and his father Raghav "Raghu" Purohit (Varun Dhawan), who violently attacks Liak in prison before learning through Inspector Govind (Kumud Mishra) that Liak had a partner. Soon, Raghu approaches a private detective, Mrs. Joshi (Ashwini Kalsekar), who tells him about Liak's girlfriend and sex worker, Jhimli (Huma Qureshi). Raghu meets and interrogates her and offers all the insurance money he received for his son's death in exchange for telling him Liak's partner's name, but Jhimli refuses. As a result, an enraged Raghu forces her to dance for him and eventually assaults her. Liak is convicted for the robbery and sentenced to jail, and Raghu exiles himself to a reclusive life far away from Pune.
Fifteen years later, Liak becomes terminally ill and wishes to spend his remaining life with his mother. Raghu is approached by a social worker, Shobha (Divya Dutta), who asks him to forgive Liak, but he declines. However, he has a change of mind when he's told Liak's partner's name by his mother, Zeenat (Pratima Kazmi), who wants her son to be paroled on compassionate grounds. Liak is paroled but is followed by a cop secretly so as to be led to Harman, his partner. Raghu locates Harman and gets close to his wife Kanchan "Koko" Khatri (Radhika Apte), who invites him for lunch to their home where Raghu's true intentions are revealed. Harman agrees that he was a participant in the robbery but denies having killed Misha and Robin, and tries to deal with Raghu, who threatens to call the police. Koko begins to plead with him to spare them, in exchange for which Raghu demands her sleeping with him. Harman and Raghu have a fight in which Raghu overpowers the former and proceeds to the bedroom, where he exacts his revenge by making Koko strip and forcing her to scream, in order to make Harman believe they're having sex.
Liak contacts Harman for his share of money and arranges a meeting. However, Raghu arrives at Harman's house first, where he murders Koko and Harman with a hammer. He then goes to meet Shobha and pretends to be in love with her, creating a perfect alibi. Liak grows suspicious when the police start investigating Harman's disappearance along with his wife. He is told by Zeenat that she gave Harman's name to Raghu in exchange for Liak's own freedom. Shobha is enraged to discover that Raghu told the cops they had sex. Raghu arrives at the home, where a fight ensues between him and Liak, resulting in Raghu beating the latter unconscious. As Liak wakes up, Raghu explains his entire modus operandi before Liak reveals himself to be the one who killed Raghu's family out of panic, unlike Raghu, who, Liak points out, planned his murders with a cool mind and without guilt. He then goes to meet Jhimli, who's now a concubine of a local businessman, Patil (Zakir Hussain), for one last time and tells her he's nearing death. Having circumstantial evidence against Raghu, Govind tries to blackmail him into giving him Liak's share of the money. However, Liak walks into the police station and takes the blame for Raghu's crimes, giving him a second chance to live his life and redeeming himself.
After seven months, when Liak succumbs to cancer in jail, Jhimli meets Raghu and makes him realize the futility of his revenge. She then drives away with Patil in a car, leaving him standing in the rain.

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated it 3/5 and noted the pervasive contemptful treatment of women in the film, writing, "If one can ignore the overt misogyny on show all through the film, Badlapur throws up enough surprises to hold the viewer's interest right until the bitter end."[15]
Mohar Basu of The Times of India rated Badlapur 4 out of 5.[16] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the movie 2.5 stars out of 5, describing it as riveting, but also noting that the film "comes off too contrived in many places, and leaves us hanging in others."[17] Rajeev Masand and Md Abidur Rahaman of CNN-IBN rated it 3.5 out of 5 and wrote: "The pace slackens post-intermission, plot contrivances are many, and you might say the film is misogynistic in its treatment of women ...
