Unless, of course, you take recourse to a hair transplant or maybe a wig, both of which Chaman considers before reluctantly deciding to embrace his natural self. The movie plays into all the cliches around male baldness - the primary one being that if you don't have a coiffeur to rival that of a Bollywood hero, you are unlikely to land a girl in this life. Sunny Singh of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety fame plays the lead and while the prosthetic getup for the receding hairline is a bit in-your-face, Chaman goes through the film with such a woe-filled expression, that you feel like telling him there is more to life than moaning over your precious hair! Not to seem insensitive to those who suffer from this condition in real life, yet we can't help but feel that an opportunity to evoke empathy among the audience for an infliction, that is considered a social stigma and silently borne by many in our society, has been squandered away.
While all the students at the Delhi University college he teaches in seem to only have time to tease him about his receding hairline and watch in amusement as he runs away from the campus in tears, we are left scratching our heads, wondering what all the fuss is about.Īn official remake of the 2017 Kannada movie Ondu Motteya Kathe, Ujda Chaman marks the directorial debut of film producer Kumar Mangat's son Abhishek Pathak.
For a 30-year-old Hindi college lecturer suffering from premature balding, Chaman Kohli behaves worse than a vain, petulant and insecure brat.
