After GIPPI this is yet another film showcasing life of children at school, though it's presumed High Secondary Of course there are plenty of stereotypes and clichés like the rich girl, wannabe model also several scenes do seem stretched while some are clichéd. Yet the film does open up on issues seldom depicted on Indian screen which do startle you Hiccups - Yes, The songs do seem unwanted, also the pace gets bothersome esp in second halfDirection by Raj Purohit is good Music as I mentioned distracts though tracks are situationalAmongst newcomersWamiqa Gabbi - as Tanisha,Izabelle Liete as Anu,Mehak Manwani - as Nidhi,Highphill Mathew - as Ashwin,Sumit Bharadwaj – as Sameer,Alka Chatarwal - as Ashwin's Mother are all good,Zakir Hussain is fab as usual,Varun Jhamb -as Rishi,Kiran Lall,Rohan Mehra – as Kartik and rest are all good, Keith Sequeira as Vikram is good though the newcomers are raw at places and their diction and dubbing does bother

To start with I generally am too lazy to write reviews but I had to express my views about this movie as close to zero people know about this movie and a solid positive review is something which will represent my liking towards the movie in a perfect way and even if 1 person decides to watch this movie because of my review, trust me I'll be the happiest person. OK let me cut the crap and go straight down to the content.It is about teenagers who have different family backgrounds and face different problems in their life. All four main protagonist deal with sensitive issues which was handled very well.The matters considered and the stuff discussed could have easily crossed the line to becoming vulgar but that never happened. The acting I wouldn't say was great but yeah it was good.All set and done a socially relevant movie which remains a must watch and can be seen with family. I'm glad that I gave it a try . Started with zero hopes about the movie and ended with a review here, that says it all.

Just a few days back in a Gurgaon Pub (near New Delhi), there was a Police raid in which they found hundreds of School children (mostly in the age of 15-18), partying hard with loud music on, liquor bottles in hands and joints being smoked freely. The scene in the pub shocked the policemen hugely and then they decided to call all the parents of the kids at the spot to show them the result of their liberty given. The invitation of the party was reportedly passed on through FACEBOOK & WHATS Up accounts which deliberately targeted 'School Kids' in particular charging a fixed amount for the booze and eatables provided.Now this is exactly one of the many problems of the youth depicted in this well intentioned film SIXTEEN, which tries to present it quite realistically with many shocking dialogues, never been used before in a Hindi Film Script till date. Thoughtfully directed by Raj Purohit, it can easily be called a decent attempt to showcase the sweet, energetic yet tough & indecisive years of the youth in the age group of 15-18. The age, when life and all its important emotions are being discovered for the first time like friendship, ambition, love, lust, sex and infatuation. The school days, when the young ones are willing to try anything just for experiencing it once in an adventurous mode but cannot see its drastic consequences due to their short sightedness. Those energetic years, when innocence is eager enough to give away to boldness and so called adulthood in a fast mode. And when the young ones are simply not interested to listen to any kind of advice or suggestion given by their respected grown-ups around, for any matter at all.The film captures many tender moments of that age honestly and doesn't shy away from using the controversial phrases like "losing the virginity", "how was it for the first time" and many more. Its first half keeps progressing calmly with many occasional brilliant moments and then loses the grip post intermission due to too many sub-plots being tackled together. Plus one of its tracks around the father -son relationship goes over the top too with an unexpected tragic twist in its storyline. The not so memorable soundtrack hinders the pace regularly with few avoidable songs but the dialogues keep impressing the viewer a lot right till the end. In short, once the film is over, you just feel like having seen something good and better than many big over hyped projects but still not anything exceptionally great or path breaking.In the performance section, SIXTEEN has many likable acts by its entire young cast including Izabelle Leite, Wamiqa Gabbi, Mehak Manwani, Rohan Mehra, Highphill Mathews and Varun Jhamb. Along with the younger brigade, Zakir Hussain is great as usual and both Prabhleen & Keith Sequeira put up a cool act together. But in order to reach its desired target audience, the film desperately needed a great energetic hit song which could bring in that young crowd in the theater on whom the film is entirely based upon.Therefore in absence of any instantly catchy song and heavy promotional campaign, SIXTEEN will remain one of those genuine & well acted small attempts which will eventually find it hard to reach its young viewers. So in case you cannot find the spirit to watch it in the theaters then do try to catch it on DVD once it gets released in the home video market in the next few weeks.

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.
