Film critic Saibal Chatterjee in his review of Badla wrote: "Badla is a crime thriller that lifts itself out of the limitations of the form by spotlighting questions of guilt and retribution without diluting its edgy quality. The quality of the acting and the technical finesse on show... make Badla an unmissable film."
Badla is produced by Gauri Khan under Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. The film also stars Tony Luke, Manav Kaul, Tanveer Ghani and Denzil Smith.
