Bubble Gum

"Bubble Gum" looks more like a TV Movie without big stars, sets, posh costumes, or lavish song numbers. What it does is a plain story telling, based on a nice subject. It's a teenage drama dealing with the anger, frustration,bonding, attraction to opposite sex that starts to grow during teenage and gives a nice message to the parents on understanding the changes and aspirations that take place in them. Such a nice theme somewhat is wrapped in a very plain film that lacks much of shades and situations in drama. There is not much to endear in the story nor the story looks very well narrated, which makes the film forgettable. Despite the low profile and the plainness of the film, the performances of the children and Sachin Khadekar and Tanvi Azmi as parents are commendable.
