Badlapur review: A flawed but stylish thriller

Liak's mother (Pratima Kannan), a dancing girl (Huma Qureshi), a social worker (Divya Datta) and a woman who runs a Pune restaurant (Radhika Apte). All of them are scorned, pushed around and humiliated at will. Unless this approach is meant to signify the amoral depths that men are capable of sinking to when pushed to a corner, it can only be construed as unhealthily sexist.
