Chocolate boy of Bollywood, Varun Dhawan, will be seen in an epic revenge drama Badlapur that hit the theatres today. He may be known for his lover boy image and sexy dance moves, but the dashing actor is all set to change his image with this high-octane action thriller. Here we give you five reasons to watch it...read on:

Varun's new avatar:

This might just be the role that fetches the youngster the coveted Filmfare award. He has done teeny-bopper roles before, which have been highly popular with the ladies. But this time, the good looking actor is attempting a new avatar that's pretty far removed from his comfort zone. It's a pretty brave step on his part to do something this extreme at such a young age, when such a role is ideally the domain of the Khans and the Kumars of Bollywood. In fact, the actor has already become 'hit' on Twitter, what with critics and industry folks heaping praises on him.

Fresh pairings:

It's the first time Dhawan will be romancing Yami Gautam and Huma Qureshi on the big screen. He and Yami look absolutely stunning together, while his raw chemistry with Qureshi is sizzling. If this was not enough, the stubble-sporting dude will also be sharing some intimate moments with Divya Dutta and Radhika Apte. Will the actor prove is mettle in this unconventional role? We are confident that he would...

Kickass music:

If you haven't grooved to 'Chhali Karde' yet, you've been missing out on something in life. It's not only one of the hippest songs of 2015, but also a well choreographed number that you can impress your date with. If rock and roll isn't your flavour, there's the soothing 'Jeena Jeena' and the hummable 'Judaa'. It's definitely a mix-bag album that will cater to all age groups and we are sure the movie will be seamless one without th songs intruding the narrative.

Thrills galore:

It's a dark, brooding, and violent revenge drama. The action and thrills are so intense in the movie that Varun came out a changed man post the wrapping up of the film, while Huma was reduced to tears during one of the scenes. If actors can get so affected by their own movie, imagine the impact it would have on the audiences. It's also the first time such gore will be shown to the public, in order to make an impact on us.

Acting chops at its best:

What makes this movie one of the most anticipated movies is the collective acting ability of the cast. With Varun and Nawzuddin Siddiqui being pitted against each other, we can safely watch out for fireworks on the screen. Huma and Yami are talented actresses too, while Divya and Radhika are known for their intense and dedicated acting. This might just turn out to be one of the coolest movies of 2015. And who doesn't like a Nawaz movie where he is displaying his brilliance? We sure do.
