I liked the main plot of premature balding and discrimination that comes with it. However, I didn’t like that Bhumi Pednekar was made to look darker and yet, the story advocated that women of all colors are beautiful. This has been a contention point for the film, considering that many actors of darker skin are looking to enter mainstream Bollywood. However, I did like the gendered nature of beauty standards in India and how the story incorporated mediums like TikTok within a simple family narrative. Overall, it was an enjoyable film about a lesser known condition and I appreciated this.

It's good to see Bollywood is trying to raise social issues these days but I think these movies will not make much difference in Indian society.

This movie is jackass. The director couldn't even cast a black girl. He painted black on white actress (Bhumi Pednekar). This shouldn't be acceptable to anyone. This also shows that capitalism can exploit everything. Also, Yami Gautam still do fairness cream ads. These assholes just made this movie for virtue signalling.

its a dull movie about the lows of being bald and then the highs of having hair and then the lows of the hair actually being a toupe. Wtf was with Bhumi Pednekar black-facing herself to play a role? Couldn't they have given it to an actual dark-faced actress. bollywood is a sham. But but but...ending will make you tear up a bit. slightly.
