Bala movie review: Ayushmann Khurrana might get a bad hair day but he is not getting any bad day at the box office for sure. Bala, Ayushmann’s third release this year after Article 15 and Dreamgirl, is going to establish hims as the new superstar of Bollywood, or so it seems. Bala does not have the hair at the right place (pun intended) but the movie’s heart is surely at the right place and it shows. Bala is getting rave reviews from cine-goers and critics alike and Twitterati is hailing him as the new ‘hair-apparent’ of super-stardom in Bollywood. Shubhra Gupta, writing for the Indian Express, hailed the film as ‘an achievement’. She rated the movie three-and-a-half star and wrote that Ayushmann Khurrana has perfected the art of playing flawed characters who are not instantly like-able. Together with his Dum Laga Ke Haisha co-star Bhumi Pedneker, he bring sparks to their scenes. Gupta adds that the movie has “an unfiltered and bare performance” and it is not afraid to be seen as ridiculous.
