Sixteen [DVD]

Welcome to sixteen's world. A world where growing up has speeded up multifold
times from the time you and me were kids. Once upon a time, it was the age of
innocence, the age of sweetness, the age when one had the first crush. But
times have changed. In the times of Internet, Delhi times and page-3 and more
than 300 Tv channels, innocence is the first casualty. Sixteen is a story
about lost innocence and teenage heartache in urban India. Meet Anu - Young,
intelligent, good looking, sensitive, ambitious. Brash, bold with lots of
attitude. She's almost a woman now. In the way she dresses, in the way she
approaches life. She is aware of the effect she has on the men around her. She
has been through breakups (note the plural), has flings and wants to be the
Miss India. So that she can one day rule the glamour world. Meet Tanisha- In
search of love, withdrawing at the slightest notice of an imperfection,
Tanisha is gutsy, but more rooted. Going on a blind date is not a problem with
her. Going on a second date is. Meet Nidhi- Traces of innocence and a whole
lot of sweetness, still in the throes of first love, full of dreams. Unlike
the cynical Anu and the practical Tanisha, she makes you want to be sixteen
again, experience all that was good with those days. Meet Ashwin- An
introverted and completely lacking in confidence. Tanisha's classmate, best
friend and silent lover, his life is overshadowed by a dominating and violent
father who would leave nothing to make him an IAS officer. Sixteen captures
the life of these teens, as they go through their loves and heartaches, dreams
and destructions in their school, home and the outside world. Sixteen is the
story of their friendship and turbulent route it takes through the growing up
years. And also about the adults around them who make, unmake and remake their
world, sometimes brutally, sometimes beautifully.
