If coming-of-age cinema is in the air, then 'Sixteen' has to be a worthy contender. For all its shortcomings and sloppiness — unlike the few desi names in the genre — this movie is indeed coming of age. It tries to tackle some issues teenagers in a metropolitan city usually face. To the makers’ credit, fresh faces are playing characters their age, allowing the story to remain credible. However, it could have been a lot sharper than it turns out to be as it pretty much touches all the chords lovelorn youngsters keep themselves busy with nowadays.
