🎥 Review:
Bubble Gum is one of those rare gems in Indian cinema that takes you back to the simple yet emotionally rich days of growing up — before the internet, smartphones, and social media ruled our lives.
Set in the year 1980 in Jamshedpur, the film revolves around Vedant, a 14-year-old boy dealing with school life, first crushes, sibling rivalries, and the innocent confusion of adolescence. Life gets complicated when his elder brother Vidur, who is hearing impaired, comes back home from a hostel — and Vedant has to learn how to share love, attention, and space.
What makes Bubble Gum special is its authenticity. It doesn’t try to be flashy or overly dramatic. Instead, it focuses on real-life emotions — love, jealousy, rebellion, and family bonding. The writing is simple yet powerful, and the storytelling is full of heart.
The 80s backdrop is beautifully recreated with typewriters, landline phones, simple clothes, and a nostalgic school environment. If you grew up in that era, the film will feel like a sweet memory. And even if you didn’t, it will still strike a chord with its universal theme of growing up.
🌟 Performance Highlights:
-
Delzad Hiwale as Vedant is natural and relatable.
-
Sachin Khedekar and Tanvi Azmi shine as understanding yet strict Indian parents.
-
The scenes between the two brothers are the emotional core of the film.
🎯 Verdict:
Bubble Gum is not a high-budget, star-studded film. But it’s a film that stays with you. It’s warm, honest, and full of life lessons. Perfect for families, teenagers, and anyone who wants to relive the charm of a simpler time.
⭐ Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
💭 Final Thought:
If you're tired of typical Bollywood masala and looking for a feel-good, emotional, and nostalgic experience, Bubble Gum is the perfect pick. It reminds us how love, family, and growing pains shape who we become.
