Analysis :

B.A. PASS is based on a short story Railway Aunty by Mohan Sikka, B.A. Pass comes around again in the process of time of Mukesh's (Shadab kamal) life which goes through a series of cheerless ups and downs till it comes crashing down. Due to loosing his parents Mukesh is left at his uncle's mercy. He receives conflict from his uncle's family for whom he is an added liability. In such conditions he comes across Sarika (Shilpa Shukla) who seduces him at first, teaches him the art of giving worldly pleasure and then supplies him to many urbane unsatisfied women who require such carnal escapades. Nevertheless, her secretive plans come to a harshly stoppage when both Mukesh and she get caught by her husband Ashok (Rajesh Sharma) who uses his repute and might to hamper their business. How Mukesh's terrible needs for money to support his two sisters make him take highest degree if step is what follows through the rest of the plot.

Director Ajay Bahl emphasizes intensely on shock element as well from this source right from the astonishing seduction sequences of Sarika to the gigolo angle, all of it demands your undivided attention. The film takes off brilliantly, the premise is promptly set and within no time this short 101 minute film gets into the pivotal point of the story. Nevertheless, in a command to put across his story, Bahl somehow just brushes upon many issues, for example, the hollow lives of urbane housewives. Furthermore, while the first half comes across as completely resolute and courageous, the second takes turn and gets into the filmy zone with the able to be foretold twist of Mukesh's chess playing friend Johny.

Performance :

The film do extremely well for some of the extraordinary performances. Especially from the lead protagonists, Shilpa Shukla along with Shadab Kamal. Shukla who had proved her temperament in her debut film Chak De! India itself outshines all her previous performances by executing some of the most explicit scenes that this film required with utmost easy and confidence. Shadal Kamal too represents dramatically the initial hesitation, the helplessness, the distraction almost perfectly. Shadal's limited acting skills work for the film's favour for it satisfies his part well. Rajesh Sharma as the dictator husband too is superb in his parts.

Final Word:To sum it up, B.A. Pass is one resolute and courageous, astonishing fare which does deserve a watch however could've been better had the filmmaker remained persistently to his realism instead of taking a Bollywoodish route.
