The word 'Badly' is an adverb in English. While its root word is 'bad' (meaning poor or evil), 'badly' is used in two very different contexts: to describe something done poorly, or to describe a severe need.
A common grammatical mistake is saying 'I feel badly'. You should say 'I feel bad' (unless your sense of touch is literally broken).
When used with words like 'need' or 'want', it never means negative or evil; it simply means 'intensely'.
Meaning 1: Done in a poor or severe way
Meaning 2: Needing something very much (Urgency)
Context: Poor/Severe (बुरी तरह)
Context: Urgency (बहुत ज़्यादा)
The opposite of badly (when it means poorly) is 'well' or 'excellently'.
