Watched BALA today. The movie depicts the key issue of society, i.e the #Bodyshaming. A man living in Kanpur,is suffering from alopecia, which results a continuous hairfall and ultimately turns him to be a complete bald person.
Well, point to be noted that the plot of the movie is not concerned about the disease he had been suffering from, but the extreme embarrassment he had to go through which ultimately led him to an acute depression, a lack of self confidence.
So the point is not that Bala was bald. The point is he was forced to believe that he was actually a 'Good For Nothing Guy' that too with the lack of a pleasant and presentable personality.
On the other hand, the female protagonist Latika is a dark complexioned lady and society forces her many times to believe that in spite of being a well educated advocate, she's not eligible to be married as only fair skinned beauties are good enough to be someone's first choice while being searched for brides.Beauty lies only in a fair complexion and you are a full-time oftender if you are born dark and remain dark through out whole your life. But the ultimate difference between the societical struggle of Bala and Latika was their way of thinking. Latika believes no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Latika is happy with herself. She loves herself the way she is. She hates to use fairness product as she neither is willing to look fair nor she considers herself 'ugly' bcz of being brown.
Pari, a drool-worthy super model (Society labelled her so bcz she's extremely fair) rejected Bala exactly the day after their wedding took place as according to her looking good is the only thing that matters in life. Even scoring 45% marks in every exam couldn't deteriorate her reputation in society, coz her gold like complexion and heavenly beauty always kept her on the top of everyone's wishlist.
Now just think twice. What is the definition of Beauty?? Is it all about having a fair complexion or a slim & trim body? Or it depends upon your presentable height and the big& beautiful eyes you have?? Where exactly beauty lies in???
I am bowing my head down and confessing that our society still thinks that a creamy milk complexion is what a beautiful personality needs the most. I was shocked when I researched and came to know that India is the largest market for fairness product. People are obsessed with the fair skin tone and we wish and pray to Goddess Kali to have a fair skinned baby boy. #sarcasm_indeed.😂
Now the question is, how many of you can find a Bala,and a Latika in you?? And how many people can find resembles themselves with Pari who knowingly or unknowingly forces people to get deprived by their own short comings which are actually no longer their own fault???
It's time to think twice, thrice or may be hundred times. People who bully others are the actual garbages of society. Trust me you people are no longer needed here as you guys are too polluted to be cleaned.
Finally the ending gives a wonderful message for which we have been waiting since last 2hours, holding our breath. The simplest message, "The key of your happiness is on your hand only. Not all feeling is meant to be reciprocated but the feeling of being happy with your own company will never ditch you in whole your life time".
Don't be shy my honey...😊
