This week, Tigmanshu Dhulia-directed Milan Talkies, Photograph (starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sanya Malhotra), and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Mere Pyare Prime Minister are opening in cinemas. Badla's business was slightly affected by the release of Hollywood film Captain Marvel, the latest superhero film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Captain Marvel intrigued MCU fans, especially those who are awaiting the release of Avengers: Endgame.
Badla, directed by Sujoy Ghosh and produced by Gauri Khan through Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment, is an interrogation drama based on Spanish film Contratiempo. In the film, Taapsee plays the role of a successful businesswoman Naina, who has been accused of murdering her paramour played by actor Tony Luke. Amitabh Bachchan is introduced as defence attorney Badal Gupta, who hasn't lost a case in his 40 year old career. Badla also stars Amrita Singh, Tony Luke and Manav Kaul.
