Badla opened to positive reviews. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, gave the film 3 stars out of five and 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."
Badla is a crime-thriller directed by Sujoy Ghosh and it has been produced under Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. The film also stars Amrita Singh.
