![]() But Sriram Raghavan's latest, Badlapur, a revenge thriller, treats the passage of a decade and a half with such indifference that its characters appear like people you read about in a perfunctory news article - you know their name, occupation and troubles, but you don't get a fair sense of who they are. So 15 years would acquire different meanings for an everyman as opposed to someone battling a devastating and incorrigible loss. ![]() A time period that long not only changes people by dint of its sheer passage, but also affects them differently based on their circumstances. ![]() You are not the same person at 25 as you are at 40 or, for that matter, at any two ages separated by 15 years. ![]() You don't need me to tell you that 15 years is a long period of time.
