Detailed Review:
Bala is a Bollywood movie with unique content which is great as nowadays many commercial Bollywood movies are just 'copy-paste movies'. Definitely this movie is against the the social taboo of looking good physically and our obsession with fair skin. 'Bala'has a answer for these type of people in most satirical way.
Bala is the name of the main character who was obsessed with his fine hairstyle and good look from his elementary school. As he was growing up his hair started falling and he becomes bald. With his hair all of his pride and confidences has gone away. This part of the movie was played by Ayushmann Khurrana and he was the perfect choice for this role.
( For those who didn't watch the film yet, the rest of the review may spoil the movie)
As days goes by Bala becomes more frustrated, every time he goes out of his house he carefully coveres his head with a cap and tried many different ways not to look bald. He works as fairness cream company sales person and even he faces embarrassing moments in his job and a demotion. He even can't get married because his bald head.
Heres come the second part. Somehow Bala faked his hair and gets back his pride, gets promotion in job, finds the love of his life ( Yami Gautam) and gets married. And all of a sudden his sand castle falls down and his former wife lodged a divorce file and composition charge against Bala in court. In this period Bala was completely broken. He contacted a lawyer, a girl, his childhood friend whom he bullied for black complexion and bad look. She ( Bhumi Pednekar) takes his case and somehow Bala got rid of charges. The ice between them melts away and they becomes friends.
At the last of the movie Bala, one day finds out in a dramatic way that to look good, to keep stylish hair means nothing to everybody, to him. Then he finds the way to live and become happy again, A Complete Human.
In the movie in some conversations the social and political issues are discussed and showed how bad they are in a comic way. Overall it's a must watch movie nowadays.
