Film review of BALA |
Ayushmann Khurrana`s latest film Bala is a fun ride at the expense of the film`s hero. Bala, played by Ayushmann Khurrana, is all of 25, but looks way older, thanks to his diabetes and bald pate that has replaced what was once a dreamy crop of silky hair. His childhood sweetheart has also left him and he is demoted at his job as a salesman for a women`s fairness cream. Simultaneously, he is actively seeking various remedies for his hair loss. These range from ridiculous to bizarre. Ayushmann owns every scene making Bala`s plight look believable as well as hilarious. Niren Bhatt`s story, screenplay and dialogues have been much appreciated. Among the actresses, Bhumi Pednekar is impactful as the strong-headed lawyer Latika. Yami Gautam as Pari Mishra looks beautiful and is quite impressive as Kanpur ki superstar, who is full of herself. Directed by Amar Kaushik, `Bala` remains a light-hearted comedy with situations that are relatable. Just like the film`s message, `Bala` is beautiful even with its flaws, and never fails to entertain.
