Diagnosed with alopecia at 15, Siliguri girl Enakshi Dasgupta's (Shweta Tripathi) biggest fear is losing her hair. Her self esteem and confidence takes a beating as her visible bald patches start drawing unnecessary attention at school. Her hair loss becomes a subject of concern for her parents and mockery for classmates. Enakshi's rare condition not only hampers her peace of mind but also supposedly sabotages her marriage prospects.

Most girls often grow up on Disney fairytales, romantic movies and Barbies - all of which define women's beauty in a certain way. Fair and flawless skin, slender waist, long legs, petite frame and gorgeous hair. Even actresses who don't meet this checklist, aren't really in the 'mainstream'. Those who do, are worshipped and desired.

Our race to fit in begins right from our childhood. The society sets unrealistic standards of beauty and women must live upto those expectations. If you don't, you are considered unworthy of success, love or marriage. Enakshi's hair-loss sucks the happiness out of her life.

Her simple parents are willing to do anything for her hair regrowth treatment and a guy quietly nurses feelings for her. But can Enakshi free herself from wallowing in self pity?

Qasim Khallow's film is a heartwarming tale of conquering fear, crushing societal standards of beauty and exploring the parent-child bond. The film is most relatable for women, who are conditioned to believe that they ought to be perfect if they wish to 'bag a good husband'.

Gone Kesh primarily works owing to its great casting. Shweta Tripathi portrays the trauma of her condition in the most real, understated manner.

Vipin Sharma and Deepika Amin are every bit the loving and supportive parents who sacrifice their own needs and wishes for their child. They believe in their daughter when she herself gives up. Jitendra Kumar is perfect as the shy love interest, who loves Enakshi just the way she is. A scene where he happens ho see her without her wig plays out brilliantly.

Despite the film's slow pace, this one's a winner - hair or no hair. It also reminds you that good people end up with good people, always.

I watched this movie after watching Bala...and i feel this movie is more real than bala and ujda chaman... somewhere at some point u can connect with this movie... brilliant performance my all the star cast... definitely a must watch

I am really surprised how movies like Ujda Chaman and Bala gets so much publicity and these movies doesn't get any attention. Loved the movie and acting of all the main characters (very realistic) I love how Shweta Tripathi easily fits as a school kids as well as a grown-up.

Overall, a beautiful and motivating movie. The flow of the movie is good, but it could have been better. It has some moments that a very heart-touching. It is worth watching as it isn't really a time-consuming movie.

In #GoneKesh, the young heroine starts losing hair suddenly n rapidly. One doctor suggests that she should eat carrots n eggs daily. Another doctor prescribes steroids, but this leads to hair growth in wrong places. Finally, after discovering true love, she accepts her baldness n decides to face the world bravely. Competent direction by #Qasimkhallow n excellent performances by tripathi, sharma, amin. The family scenes r very well depicted. Watch it. Rating 3/5.

What a beautiful film this is. Set in small town of Siliguri, the movie brilliantly captures the simplicity and challenges of a small town. No unwanted masala or melodrama, very real life portrayal where all characters get a space to be explored by audience. All the actors in the movie show their command over the craft with brilliant performances. The background score is good but some moments deserved better music. Overall, its a brilliant film and deserves a watch.

I watched this movie today i youtube for free and I swear the time I spent here are one of the best time I spent for any movies. The inspiration at the end is the main power of the movie. No one is perfect just learn to be yourself. The acting, direction, plot all are upto the point and showcasing the societal thoughts to premature baldness in women is the major strength of this movie.

Make no mistake when I say that Gone Kesh (Hair Gone) brought a smile to my face as I watched the main character realize her hair loss condition in a small-town setting but then the message that I received at the end was mixed and damp and sermonic. TN.

It is a underrated movie. One of the best films of bollywood. Movies made on real issues never get appreciated as much as they need. This film should be in list of best must watch bollywood movies of this decade.

Actors in the movie are great. But the story execution was not as expected.

Simple yet powerful. Better than Bala, which has unneccesary masala.

The casting and the emotion delivered by them is exceptional, the concept and quality of story is superb, people should encourage experimental attempts, Kudos to ST for her brave acting skills.

Don't waste your time, nothing is there in this movie, no drama, no comedy, no emotion

All the characters played there roles very well. Beautiful storyline. I must say this is a must watch movie.

A simple story! A simple movie! However, selection of characters very pertinent to the story, filming those characters with some infamous, yet very talented, actors, and finally the very message of the story of the movie - I AM AS I AM - made this movie a good one.

Its better then bala movie its more real n relatable

Although there are other technical aspects too...but one thing stands out. Your courage in making project..and taking "not so popular" actors. It's really good and needed. Amazing work. 2 stars extra for the efforts.

A very innocent and simple story, it portrays the lives of lower middle class Indians well. Jitendra Kumar and Shwetha Tripathi have already proved their fantastic acting skills in the past, so this combination worked really well, I can see them as a couple in more movies. Overall the movie also has a great message.

Simple but a very relatable story that can be watched with your kids and family. If you have teen or pre-teen daughter, it is definitely worth the watch. While Hollywood, Bollywood movies type cast the beauty in a certain way, kids form a certain opinion about "beauty" and build their confidence around that. Brilliant acting by the lead artists. You can easily relate to the girl, her parents and the boyfriend. Even the smaller characters like the mall manager, friend, doctor - all are shown genuine. No over emotions. Music is good too.

Only downside - narration is a bit slow and moves in a very predictable path with no significant ups / downs.

Summary - A must watch movie with family - drama genre.
