Paa - just as expected - fabulous

Aww... Auro is such a cute kid. i just love him.

Paa is more about Auro than his Paa.

With a very simple storyline, this movie is very intelligently and heartwarmingly presented. The movie is very endearing with a total no-nonsense approach.

Progeria-stricken Auro is the apple of his mum and 'bum's (granny) eyes. He is a well-informed and intelligent kid. Oh... i am just so overwhelmed by Auro that i cannot think of anything other than him.

Ok, quickly then, i shall mention the specials about the movie without stating the obvious strengths of the movie.

The very practical, modern, urban approach of the movie. No unwanted melodrama, unnecessary sacrifice (as Auro puts it for his mom - such a sweet scene in the movie), sorry feeling for the terminal illness stuff. Taking life as it comes with the right amount of sensitivity attached to it. This definitely does not mean that the movie is uncaring, it is just pleasantly real.

Just goes to show that the movie-makers have finally and successfully started portraying real lives. i, on behalf of the viewers, am grateful for showing the mature film-making.

Each one of the performances are outstandingly brilliant. Bum (Arundhati Naag), Vishnu are absolutely lovable characters with fresh talents. Vidya Balan is nice. Paresh Rawal nice too.

Abhishek Bachchan has arrived. This man proves his mettle in a film that is entirely his Dad's. Although, i would like to tell the director that the politician scenes weren't required to occupy so many reels. They appeared as if they are there to showcase Abhishek's talent rather than the need of the story. Abhishek Bachchan is an A-grade actor just like his Dad. He might not have got the right kind of roles but he is undoubtedly, specially after Paa, talented to the core. i loved his scene where he breaks down in a controlled manner outside the hospital room.

And Amitabh Bachchan! What can be said about this walking, talking acting institution. There isn't an iota of Amitabh in Auro. You just cannot recognise him. Right from Auro's tedious make-up to his lisped speech, Amitabh Bachchan's hard work and sheer talent outsmart all the actors in the industry. He is the blessed one who got such a role. This role is an epic one. He has set the benchmarks so high for his colleagues that it will take herculean efforts on their parts to catch up. Of course, i don't need to talk about his histrionics, since it is established far beyond words.

A small budget film, the clothes, music of his movie is, dare i say, mediocre. But trust me, you will hardly notice and actually speaking it doesn't matter. Involved that i was in the movie, i felt the greed to see Auro spend time with his Maa and Paa as a family and not die in the end. It, anyways, was known that Auro's life was short-lived, so they could have avoided showing the graveness of it, specially after portraying the film so practically all along .

Awesomeness! Do i still need to tell you whether to watch it or not? It is not just a movie, it is an experience.
This is the first film whose trailer itself found place on this blog.
The wait was every small bit worth it. AB Corp has risen from the ashes and how!

Auro and his Paa are going to be remembered in the history of the Indian film industry for a long time to come.
