Paa – Movie Review
Paa is probably one of most awaited movie of all time in the history of Indian cinema. To describe in few words, Paa is an absolute Cinematic brilliance of Indian Film Industry. Paa has a simple storyline narrated in simplest of manner. Movie is neither inspired by Curios case of Benjamin Button nor Amitabh Bachchan portrays Brad Pitt charecter in the movie. Infact Paa is far superior & an intense emotional movie. It is probably the first time when a real life son portrayed the character of father of a child in a movie, who in real life is his own father.

Movie revolves around a 13 year old boy Auro who suffers from a rare disease called progeria, leading to extremely rapid ageing. He studies in school but looks 5-7 times older than boys of his age. He lives alone with his mother. Vidya Balan plays the role of an unmarried mother who refuses to abort the child when forced by Auro’s biological father Amol (Abhishek Bachchan). Amol accidently meets Auro after many years in a school fuction and there starts a journey of emotions.

Best part of the movie is direction by R. Balki. Paa is neither an educative movie nor an tear saga. Infact it is full of funny moments and countless emotions. Talking about performances, no amount of writing will justify the magical performance delivered by Amitabh Bachchan. This is one is for all those people acrosss worldwide who were surprised to see Amitabh adjusted as Superstar of the millennium by BBC. At the age of 67 this man delivered not only his best performance but also the one of the very best by anyone. This reflects the fact that no success in life is ever big enough to keep on working hard in pursuit of achieving excellance.

Abhishek Bachchan also delivers a superb performance followed by Vidya Balan & Paresh Rawal. But unfortunately all of them are simply overshadowed by one of the best act in the history of Indian movies by a true legend.

Verdict : Book tickets for your entire family this weekend.
