PAA Rocks !!!

I watched PAA few days back @ Fame lido multiplex. Movie was cute. And Auro was cuter. Yes, Auro. A child with rare disease called progeria, where ageing process grows 5 fold. It was an unbelievable experience, probably first time in bollywood, rather in Indian film industry such a movie has occurred. A 67 year old man playing a 13 year old boy. A role reversal – where real life son and father plays a role reversal in reel life. A movie which doesn’t show its subject in pitiable condition. Most importantly, in a country and industry where actors play a dominant role, the face, voice and overall personality has been fully masked. The lights go off,  show starts and Auro appears. He easily lands in your heart and keeps you engaged with his intelligent humor and heart touching demeanor. His antics at home, school and with PAA is simply awesome. His school friend Vishnu too has got good footage and impresses all. Abhishek bachchan as a progressive and educated politician is competent. Vidya balan was a revelation. Her outburst, emotions and romance get full 10/10. Auro’s grandmon, fondly called as BUM is sweet and strong lady.

Unlike other movies like Tare Zameen Par or Black, it doesn’t get pitiable and sentimental to the sufferings. This is simple well made movie with real life romance, humor and hummable music. But, I hated the last scene of movie where AURO unites his parents and dies while on medical bed. Everyone wishes to see more of AURO, At least a part 2 of it.

There is not a single trace of BIG B in this movie. Throughout the running of movie, I literally forgot BIG B and was indulged within AURO. The thought of BIG B never came to mind at all. After movie was over, all audience was talking about only AURO and how remarkably he has acted. AURO has beaten BIG B left and right with thundering applause. He has become so lovable that, such a unusual film is running to packed houses even in 4^th week and is one of the highest in ROI category. Made with a budget of 15 cr, it has returned more than 70 crs.

Surely, BIG B has stolen the thunders at 67 for will get max Best Actor awards nominations. With this, he has proved again that HE IS THE PAA OF ACTING.

BIG B – We all love you. You are truly the emperor. PAA Rocks !!!
