Review of Bala

Bala (2019)
8/10
A genuine movie
15 March 2020
This movie excelled in my eyes at its climax. What a matured end - self-acceptance. This is where the much more popular 'English Vinglish' has failed for me - Shashi Godbole's self esteem came back when she mastered English. Now, that can never happen in reality - if your self-esteem is dependent on others' approval, you will always be short of it. Balmukund's self-esteem on the other hand returned with his self-acceptance.

I am glad such movies are being made now. I have long felt that the current youth is more spontaneous, more genuine and more themselves than the previous generations (including mine) were. And the new breed of movie makers are a whiff of fresh air. And in actors like Ayushman Khurana they have have performers who can live the role life size - no less, no more!
