    A little subtlety could've gone a long way. Don't get me wrong - Bala is a lot of fun to watch - the performances are spot-on and the comedy hits the nail on the head every time. However, it deals with its subject matter in an extremely obvious, straightforward manner by having its characters being more like exaggerated cartoon characters than actual three-dimensional human beings, which makes the film slightly melodramatic and unfortunately quite predictable... until the end, where the film throws a couple of curveballs, which were a pleasant surprise. Overall, Bala is a flawed film, but a good watch nevertheless. Final Score: 71/100

    Another classic with Ayushmann, the true leading man of new age, alt Indian movies. Thoughtful, poignant but also entertaining and hilarious, with great social commentary to boot.

    While i do not suffer from premature baldness, i can very much relate to the issues men (and sometimes women too) face all over the world. The film is accurate in its depiction. Ayushmann Khurana plays his part very well and is well supported by Bhumi Pednekar, Saurabh Shukla and other supporting actors. Other than premature baldness, this film has a lot to say about other things like accepting who we are. In the performance department, Yami Gautam performance felt very cheese, over-the-top and 'trying-too-hard' type. My second issue about the film is the casting of Bhumi Pednekar, a relatively fair woman, putting make-up on her and making her dark. This goes against the very message that the film is trying to convey and feels hypocritical. Should have just hired a dark-skinned actress.

    This was a superb movie headlined by a wonderful performance by the ever improving Ayushmann Khurana. Everyone should watch this film on the pains of hair loss.

    Ayushmann Khurrana's streak continues with 'Bala', a funny, winning examination of how deeply superficial things can affect people.

    Whether or not you're going bald, this movie is good enough to indulge you. Superficial (instead of taking a dark actress, they go for a fair one and give her a make-up), but good as a movie.
