Story: If you are appalled by the Behaviour and how 'advanced the kids are these days' Sixteen is for you.

Review: Access to internet, social networking, smart phones and pocket hefty money have Resulted in kids getting an early exposure to unknowingly shape Things That Their Lives and Their determined future. The more Their parents preach or protect them, the more They revolt and crave for that sense of unwarranted freedom. Can the change in the value system ruin the lives of These teenagers or can they still take the right decisions?

Unlike Most films made ​​on youngsters, refreshingly Sixteen is actual and extremely relevant in modern times. Thankfully, there are no standard teenage-film cliches like youngsters taking to drugs or other addictions, misbehavior, rebellious attitude towards parents, etc..

Purohit That wisely addresses the issues deserve to be mentioned. Peer pressure, relationship issues, sex, unplanned pregnancy, academic pressure, suicide, MMS scandals, surfing adult content on the net in Spite of being under 18 ... almost all significant issues are maturely handled and presented. Nowhere do you feel too much is being served at one go. Although sluggish pace is what dampens the impact, as the filmmaker slips into an artistic mode every now and then.

Casting is perfect. All the newcomers act well. Gabbi Wamiqa as Tanisha is impressive, Izabelle Leite is Effective in Spite of her voice being dubbed, Keith Sequeira lends that much needed subtlety to the story.

However, the film has its limitations. It Focuses on the dilemmas of the rich kids, catering to urbane youth Malthus.
