Cast: Ayushman Khurana, Bhumi Pednekar, Yami Gautam
Director: Amar Kaushik
Rating: 3 stars (out of 5)
Just last week, at the well-planned Uzda Chaman, we were witness to the tragic spectacle of a misguided man battling premature baldness and tying himself in a knot. In Bala, directed by Amar Kaushik and written by Niren Bhatt, a similar (yet intrinsically different) story-line achieves a more nuanced result - a film that takes a few minor stumbles along the way, takes it to the roots and Strikes social and mental blocks that prevent people from harmonizing with their form and facing the world with confidence. It is a scary drama on a thorny subject that maintains its sense of proportion and its control over a challenging narrative arc.
Based on the plight of the main character written by Ayushmann Khurrana, with wit and humor, this comic take is presented as a series of accidents brought on by his own inability to deal with hair loss and declining self-esteem. He tries out, as the narrator tells us, "210 cures in two months" by his hairdresser (Abhishek Banerjee) and knows it all at the behest of Bachchan Bhai (Javed Jaffery), who spells a well Believes - Appropriate consultant. In one of the funniest scenes of the film, the three men, at the lowest point of the protagonist's life, imitate Amitabh Bachchan. And all three actors effortlessly hit the right notes, reflecting the film's catchy, effortless flow.
Ayushmann Khurrana surrendered himself completely to the demands of the role, expressing the ups and downs, in fact mostly the ups and downs, the arrogant Baal 'Bala' Mukund Shukla, who was a teenager. Was seen as Shahrukh Khan of Kanpur. In a later scene, he blames his insensitivity as a boy for his current misfortune.
The story narrated by Vijay Raj, which happens to be in short supply over Bala's head, flows smoothly in the first half, hitting some obstacles in the early parts of the second half, and giving a strong blow to finally reach the finale is. On behalf of body positivity and exposes the unrealistic standards of beauty that media and cosmetic brands impose on our collective psyche.
Bala is a salesman who uses a fairness cream for a beauty products firm that claims to use "Ayurvedic Chemicals", which increases the internal fakery involved in the cosmetics industry. His heart is not in the job. He wants to make his mark as a stand-up comedian. But it is his own life that has become a joke. He cannot bear to see her rapidly receding hairline. They have a half-covered mirror in the bathroom, so that part of their face is hidden from their sight above the forehead.
In an attempt to rise above his lack of Bala's reluctant board, Latika Trivedi (an overly dark Bhumi Pednekar), was her schoolmate, who became ridiculous for her complexion. When insensitive schoolchildren grow up and are attacked by Khalitya in her early 20s, she finds herself back. But Latika, who knows more about her perception of real beauty than any other character in the story, is never beyond comparing her baling pate with the moon, while constantly placing herself in front of pinpricks is.
The role of 'Pratipakshi' and Bala's love interest has been given to Pari Mishra (Yami Gautam), Lucknow's self-proclaimed supermodel and Tiktok sensation. She falls for Bala's charm after stinging a hair patch. The sporadic woman was swept off her feet as a copy of Bollywood stars by the skill of the man. But when things start to crumble - this is when the film flirts briefly with uncertainty - she does not put it in the dock only to insist on settling for a physically complete male as her life partner.
Bala touches sensitive issues but makes her point without making too much judgment about anyone or anything. The dialogues are full of words like Tekla, Ganja, and Kali. However, the negative connotations of these sympathetic expressions are not allowed. If anything, the screenplay finds ways to put a positive spin on them. It all seems right, but the writing - it keeps the proceedings light - ensures that the effort is not usually visible.
Bala is undoubtedly Ayushman Khurana's film. But Bhumi Pednekar and Yami Gautam played second fiddle with the kind of aplomb that they never keep in the shade. Particularly striking is Pednekar, who portrayed another type of Uttar Pradesh woman in the bull's eye, increasing the power of the non-active activist-lawyer she removes from here.
The supporting cast led by the ever-trustworthy Saurabh Shukla contributed some of the film's most unforgettable scenes. Saurabh Shukla is cast as the father of Harit Nayak, himself a man whose life is not made in such a way that he too likes it, though he never fails to remind Bala that he was the former Ranji Trophy players. The love-hate relationship between father and son is wonderfully woven in to the plot As Bala has equations with his younger brother Vihaan (Dhirendra Kumar Gautam, who steals one or two scenes).
Two other actresses - Seema Pahwa as Latika's maternal aunt, a woman with unwanted facial hair, and Sunita Rajwar, as Bala's mother, who brings the house home with a grudge - show her son Kanpur's most "edible "Describes as a virgin - are amazing.
