Teenager's first crush, pressure of studies, feeling of being neglected by parents, giving attention to elder brother, preparation and celebration of holi which every teenage usually comes across is highlighted in 'Bubble Gum'. In the recent past, many movies were made based on teenage like MERA PEHLA PEHLA PYAAR, UDAAN, TERE MERE SANG, ROCKFORD, KACCHA LIMBO , (the latest being) ALWAYS KABHI KABHI but the significance of all those films and 'Bubble Gum' is that every story is given a different treatment.

'Bubble Gum' is set in 80's where cable connection, internet, facebook, twitter did not come into exist. Only telephone of old form was prevalent. The story has a middle class family as its backdrop. It is a story about colony where children goes to school together, participate and enjoy every celebration.

It is a story of a middle class family resides in Ahmedabad in which there is a father (Sachin Kheddekar) works in a steel factory, mother (Tanvi Azmi) who woks as a school teacher and their two sons, Vedant (Delzad Hiravali), and Vidur (Sohail Lakhani). Vedant is younger to Vidhur, being the smallest member of the family; he is pampered a lot and becomes a bit naughty. Vidhur is deaf and studies in a hearing impaired school. As generally happens, heart beats very fast at this age and Vedant's heart also pulp for his class mate Jenny (Apoorva Arora).

The biggest barrier in Vedant's love life is Ratan (Suraj Singh), a colony boy who also has a soft corner for Jenny. Add to Vedant's misery is the coming home of his elder brother during holi. Everybody is happy in the house as Vidhut is coming home. His favorite dishes has been cooked, everywhere there is celebration and amidst of all these Vedant left deserted when all the attention and sympathy of his parents went to Vidhur.

Vidhut is a hearing impaired and Vedant tries to include his brother in his gang, but his friends laugh at Vidur for his disability. Their joy was not long lasting and soon a situations arise where there were shouts, scolding, tears, Vedant mistakes.

'Bubble Gum' is a simple, heartwarming story where there is love, laugh, enjoyment and little pain. Director Sanjivan Lal's execution of the script is praise worthy. When you watch the movie, you will feel like coming across those stances during your teenage. Lal has given the story a simple homely treatment with happens in every day-to-day life. We all know that such things happen in our day to day life but to put it into celluloid is something vey difficult.

Speaking about performances, the central character Sohail Lakhani looks perfectly his age. He as a traumatized boy was as par excellence. Sachin Khedekar and Tanvi Azmi as Vidhur and Vedant's parents have well depicted their role. Tanvi requires special mention for portraying the sign language so flawlessly. Delzad Hiravali as deaf boy is okay. Apoorva Arora as Vedant's love was lovely.

The film's music by Hanif Shaikh and Bapi Tutul is not at all ear-soothing but the background score by Salim Merchant is laudable. Anshul Chobey's cinematography is nice.

In the nutshell, 'Bubble Gum' is a sweet, simple story of a teenage. It is a joyous ride to the teenage days. Good watch. Won't let your expectation down.
