Featured reviews
A feel-good comedy that tackles premature hair loss.
Ayushmann as a bald man, who struggles to get a girl due to the defect. Every girl he tries to impress rejects him as soon as they see his head. He also faces a lot of embarrassment and humiliation on a daily basis.
Finally, his father gifts him a wig, following which he is able to impress a very pretty girl, played by Yami Gautam. However, he soon realises that wig cannot be a permanent solution, and hence, the drama continues.
Bala is a feel-good, highly entertaining movie that will definitely make you laugh out loud.
Though the message of self-acceptance and being comfortable in your own skin is something that dosnt come through convincingly.
But one thing is guaranteed - you will walk out of the theatre with a smile on your face.

Aayushman khurana has been delivering movies on social issues and has been nailing those roles again and again. Bala too, will be considered as one of his finest performance because he potrays the emotions so nicely that even though you laugh at some scenes, you still feel sad for him. The supporting cast also nails and fit perfectly in there roles. The UP accent, family drama, all these things make you believe that indeed you are in kanpur. Yami Gautam also has been given some good scenes and has played her role nicely. Just one problem with the film was the casting of bhumi pednekar. The make up done on her is really distracting whenever she comes in screen and also just opposes to the social message that the film wants to deliver. Still you ignore this because of the way Bhumi played the character of Latika and you feel for her from the first scene itself. Constantly entertaining and not even a single dull moment ! Go for it !!
A must watch. Excellent screenplay and storyline. Well done to the makers of this film.
Bala is entertaining but it seems something is missing.
Movie goes simple in first half but teaches a lot in second part.
Do not watch with much expectation.
Movie is not entertaining as DREAM GIRL
over all a good watch
Those 1 star are from those who never wants to accept themselves as they are they just want to live a fake and so trying to harm this film
An another mind blowing film by Ayushmann khurrana means if someone asks me to give review of an Ayushmann starrer i Just reply them by saying "Bhai iski film ko kya sach mein review ki zarurat hai??" (Does his film really need any kind of review)
and what to say about the Director "Amar Kaushik" he is just too good
P.s. this is not a review!
