Baldness seems to be the latest trending thing in Hindi Cinema. Last week we saw this subject in #UjdaChaman, and this week, the same theme of baldness is depicted in Amar Kaushik’s #Bala. Will it be able to do justice to the subject or not? Let’s analyse.
Synopsis
#Bala narrates the story of Balmukund Shukla (#AyushmaanKhurrana) who is just 25 years of age but has started balding. How does the balding episode change his perspective towards life? Does he try to treat his baldness? Does he try to cover-up his baldness? How does society react to his complaint? The answers to all these questions form the crux of the movie.
Direction
In his directorial debut #Stree, #AmarKaushik proved that he is here to stay. #Bala takes him to a new height. #AmarKaushik is a director to watch out for. He has complete control over his craft. His direction is superb, and he has proved yet again that the success of #Stree was not just a coincidence.
Technical Department
Cinematography by #AnujRakeshDhawan is good. Editing by #HemantiSarkar is one of the high points of the film. Music by #SachinJigar is apt. But the real hero of the film is the writer #NirenBhatt. He gives few of the best funny dialogues in the film. The screenplay is also apt. The film moves at a normal pace hardly providing any dull moment in the film. The first half is a total laugh riot and the second half takes us in a serious mode. Both of these phases are beautifully depicted in the movie.
Performances
#AyushmannKhurrana is in the golden stage of his career! He again proves with #Bala that he is one of the contenders for being the next big superstar of Hindi cinema. He totally immerses himself in the character and delivers yet another winning performance. #YamiGautam plays her part well. Her emotional scenes of confrontation with Ayushmann are presented quite well. #BhumiPednekar acts well but she does not look convincing physically as a dark-skinned girl. Her makeup work was awful. #JavedJaffery, #SaurabhShukla, and #SeemaPahwa act well. It’s nice to see #DeepikaChikhaliya after a long time and she provides ample support as a dominating mother. #AbhishekBanerjee is hilarious as always and performs well. #SunitaRajwar acts well, and her dialogues “Beta, Bala ko madad kardo” always bring a smile on our face whenever it comes.
WMR Verdict
Bala is a total edge-of-the-seat comedy film with a relevant social message. Writer #NirenBhatt and director #AmarKaushik are the real heroes of this film. Ayushmann, Yami, and Bhumi have given their best.
