Nice effects though.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

With advance technologies and internet awareness, teenagers of next generation have turned matured-much-before-their-age. Many movies like hilarious Rockford , solid father-son drama Udaan or the recent fun-loving Gippi focuses on the school life, friends, love , education , crushes etc. Sixteen goes one step ahead and dwells with issues teenagers are facing now days only if it could have been handled sensitively. Sixteen tells the coming-of-age story of 4 friends - Tanisha who is love with a guy twice her age because she is unable to find right guy of her age , Anu wants to loose her virginity to her careless good-for-nothing boyfriend, Nidhi is bold and beautiful who wants to make it big to the modelling world and Ashwin who is dominated by his father to become an IAS officer.Sixteen is a brave attempt by the first time director Raj Purohit and concept is handled with aplomb. However , it is the writing and editing that falters and at time , you will feel like being dragged along. Screenplay is loose which makes it worst. Despite these shortcomings , Sixxteen is supported by power-packed performances by all 4 leading protagonist. Overall , Sixteen is genuine attempt which could be watched once. Better screenplay and marketing could have helped the movie. Decent 2.5/5

Sixteen is a movie every teenager should watch & this is not like an advice but education. It talks everything about the age & it talks bold.With newbies doing fantastic work with whatever was given to them, it talks about the lives of few classmates who have just entered adolescence. Their wild escapades, sensitive talks & everything related to it. The love factor, relationships, sex & the generation - Sixteen has everything in large amounts in it. The plot has lots of references of which many make sense. Some elements are hackneyed thus giving us some unanswered questions. Although, the characters are so nicely baked by the writers, they pull certain topics with finesse. All the factors introduced are handled properly giving a wonderful conclusion.Screenplay is fine but editing & cinematography is awful. And that doesn't stop the viewer from enjoying the thrills, shakes & reality inculcated into the story. The grave reality in the second half is truly enduring. a 6.5 out of 10 for this amazing effort.BOTTOM LINE: One of the best & meaningful films of 2013, in spite of its boldness. A must watch! Highly recommended, if you are ready to compromise with the film factors.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YESProfanity: Mild; Muted | Vulgarity: Mild | Nudity: No | Foreplay/Mouth- Kiss: Mild | Sex: No; Implied | Violence: Mild | Gore: No | Smoking: Strong | Alcohol: Mediocre | Drugs: No | Porn: Very Mild

i must say that the movie isn't that bad "sixteen" is a piece of goodwork with the story of four teens who are discovering their relationship with others, when they learn about love and lust and they fall between parents and their beliefs they learns to control their feelings. the movie has very beautiful characters but seems slow with story line could have been done with fast screenplay.the movie never pulls you at your fastest beats but remains calm at the whole time.i must sat this is a further step for Bollywood to consider new stories to people of India

Makers are so desperate to stuff all the emotions and problems of teen ager's that they just did it in teen ager's way. There are many issues inside film but nothing is well established. They just touch an issue and then move some where else. In cinema, there is time limit. So, you have to be selective while choosing the issues otherwise it will be like undercooked stuff. Lead girls are school going ,normally must be under eighteen but they drive car so easily on Delhi as if there is no traffic cops. In climax they also go to drive outside Delhi to a juvenile remand home!! Especially climax is so slow and boring. Makers have treated it just like TV reality shows verdict style. Anchor prefers to exaggerate the winner and looser name so intentionally that you feel irritation rather than curiosity. Climax should be fast but they prefer to show repeated shots, which irritates badly. Performance wise all actors are confused about the correct emotions at correct places. One boy, who played local goon gang leader, is natural. Music is also not good.
