Bubble Gum is a film which revolves around a sweet love story. The film is set in Jamshedpur of early 80s, in an era when there were no TVs, Internet or mobile phones.
It’s a sweet and sensitive epic to growing up in an age when there was no Facebook, no internet and no mobiles. Fourteen-year-old Vedant’s love story with Jenny, the local cop’s daughter has such an innocence and angst to, it brings a smile to your lips.
Vedant, who has just stepped into his teens, is going through a disturbed phase in his life, because of academic pressure and his infatuation with a colony girl Jenny (Apoorva Arora). To worsen the situation, enters Ratan (Suraj Singh), his competitor, a guy from the same neighbourhood. Adding another twist to the so called love story, is the return of Vedant’s elder brother Vidur (Delzad Hiravali), who is deaf and comes home for his Holi holidays.
Parents Mukund (Sachin Khedekar) and Sudha (Tanvi Azmi), get too engrossed with Vidur and Vedant starts feeling neglected. After the whole muddle, Vedant realizes that not only his brother, but also his parents are special for him. He understands why his parents are considerate towards Vidur. The title proves right, as the flick shows that things may be stretchable, but the bubble of patience bursts after a point.
The characters look pretty realistic. The bell bottom pants would remind you of that era and so would the fact that then, love was just about having a glimpse of your beloved. The director has maintained the simplicity of time, which makes the movie look realistic. In fact, one of the scenes that show the importance of treating teenage children as friends and building a rapport with them has been shot very sensitively.
The movie is surely about parenting.The lead Sohail Lakhani, looks his age and his portrayal of a confused boy torn between infatuation, parents and academics is good.
Actors like Sachin Khedekar and Tanvi Azmi, who play Vidur and Vedant’s parents, show a lot of poise in their performance. Sanjivan Lal, has touched upon a topic that would take one back to school, when Internet and mobile phones didn't form a part of our existence.
A sensitive issue like how parents of teenage and psychically handicapped kids should deal with their problems has been depicted tactfully.
This beautiful was spoiled by incorporating some sad music to it. Had the movie been made without the party song sequence it would have looked much better.
Bubble has a charm to it, spilling over with mood, sentiment and message. The film offers a satisfying experience.
