While I am not revealing the full story here, would like to share few things that stayed with me after coming out of the movie theatre.
I am an admirer of Ayushmann Khurrana’s choice of roles and acting. So I happened to watch his latest release “Bala” today. It is a heart touching entertainer.
The movie is primarily shot in Kanpur and shows young Bala in school, wooing the girls with his charm and Bollywood mimicry. Bhumi is his classmate and ridiculed for her dark complexion.
She is a victim of different type of violence that prevails in our society, violence of insensitivity towards other’s feelings.
While she is super confident and brave enough to carve her professional path as a lawyer, Bala who is balding prematurely (25-year-old) tries hard to cope with the situation. He is losing out on his personal and professional life owing to loss of hair and tries all hacks to regrow the hair, but to no avail.
Bala works in the marketing team of a company selling Fairness Creams. The movie highlights the stereotype mindset of our society about having a fair skin as an important and must have criteria for girls to get a good marriage alliance.
Yami Gautam looks beautiful and impressive as a Tik-Tok superstar, who is full of herself. Her character reflects the current trend of small-town influences on social media and their growing popularity.
While I am not revealing the full story here, would like to share few things that stayed with me after coming out of the movie theatre:
So please go and watch this comedy drama which will make you laugh while conveying some important messages at the end.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
