At the same time the film has some negatives also. The main thing is that it didn't respect or belive the women and always treat them as an instrument. Raping a prostitute for revenge is very rare and never overheared! As for revenge for his life Raghu actually slices the life of many girls and for that he is not repentant. Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV noted pervasive conemptful treatment of women in the film, writing, 'if one can ignore the overt misogyny on show all through the film Badlapur throws up enough surprise to hold the viewer's interest right until the bitter end. A watchable Movie.
