Review of Bala

Bala (2019)
1/10
Social message distorted by humour
10 November 2019
I don't get why they couldn't hire someone with dark skin to play a dark-skinned person's role. It completely takes you out of the movie when Latina's skin colour is inconsistent through out the movie. I have hundreds more complaints about this movie but it is just annoying me to think about it. Don't see this extremely lame film.

The Bala character is such a vain person that it is extremely difficult to connect with him at any level. The man only cares about his looks and nothing else. In fact the man has no identity in his film except his bald head. Every character in this movie is one dimensional and defined only by their looks or something that will serve a completely useless purpose in the movie. Bala is his bald head, Latika is her dark skin and Pari is Tik Tok.

They want to tell you that looks are not important and yet they underestimate humanity. We are not in the age anymore where people look at bald people and find it funny. Nobody sees a person's wig come off and immediately starts guffawing. Nobody does that.

Don't waste your time with this film.
