Amithabh Bachchan is flawless acting in Paa. But why make him look like extra terrestrial. There was a point in the movie where there were explaining the disease that his character is suffering - Progeria. In the movie itself, when the doctor is explaining, none of the images depicted them as abnormal heads. The children just looked old, why does fiction take undue advantage of medical science. Sr. Bachchan who plays the character called Auro, I would not be surprised, if we have dolls being sold in Shoppers Stop, Big Bazaar, very soon. But one thing for sure, whenever Auro is in front of the screen, he just lightens up the moment. This movie it seems like Bachchan Sr. is passing the baton to Bachchan Jr. It is high time, he does that. There is no competition amongst each other, but then there are a only a very few movies of AB Baby that are actually good. Naach, Guru, Sarkar, Sarkar Raaj and now this. Abhishek Bachchan is good political MP; no, this is not an oxymoron, it is the character. To that extent that you can actually see his voter's mark on his middle finger in the movie. Simple Story. The 12/13/14 year old child suffers from Progeria and the disease brings the parent together. Three different occasions, when the age of Auro has been mentioned differently by different characters. One sincere request, stop comparing the movie to Benjamin Button, it is not! It was actually Robin Williams who was suffering the same disease in the movie Jack. It is not actually the original concept. The execution there are just too many cuts, that too very fast ones. The cuts becomes irritating towards the end. (Reference to Jack on IMDB) Songs are well intertwined and the lyrics bring an amazing soothing effect to the whole scene, last time this feeling seeped into the heart, mind, body and soul, during Taare Zameen Par. Hichki, Hichki and Mere Paa is simple and nice and my favourites. The movie has its moments, but it just doesnt make you cry. The performance reminds you of Amitabh Bachchan in Black, but then that it was different, that was acting. In Black, when he was smiling, you were laughing, when he was upset, everyone in the theatre had tears in their eyes. Here, he just falls a little short of the getting the audience moved. The other characters that needs mention is bum, grandmother to Auro played by Arundhati Nag (theatre personality, wife of Anant Nag). She was simply level headed, strong character. She was when faced with moral questions, she would be you take a stand, and you will have my support - that was brilliant. At the same time, the relationship between Paresh Rawal (Dad to Amol Atre) and Abhishek Bachchan does not come out that impactful. But individually there were sound. Google being subtly being endorsed by Auro. (Tweet) Public Relations angle to the story, creative people need to stop treating like media as "Jo bolo ge, wo lekhe gi, nahi tu paisa tu hai hee". It isnt like this always, please do not under-estimate the media as your pawn. The movie does bring out the current affairs element in the movie through redevelopment issues and media being used to create a hype on this. In short, it is a complete worth it paisa wasool movie for Amithabh BAchchan. I would like to highlight, even though Auro is cute it is not for the kid viewing at the same time.

Paa is undoubtedly one the finest movie that has come across Hindi cinema. Feel proud that Hindi Cinema Industry has brought out a Product like paa. What an actor Mr Amitabh bachan see his performance you will forget every actor in bollywood. speechless. his mannerism and acting will take you out of this world. You cant see amitabh in the movie rather it is only auro. Please dont miss this movie if you are lover and admirer of good cinema then please dont miss this movie its a class movie for all generation. i am going to watch it again. it has repeat value.

Amazing, spellbound, speechless, incredible, outstanding, extraordinary, unparalleled. If this doesn't get the Oscars, none won't. BIG-B, You are Next to GOD. There is no one remotely close to you. You are above earthly explanations. You have rewritten history again and again and again. BIG-B is the best actor in the whole milky way and beyond that whatever exists, infinite. Take a bow!!!

Paa is a great movie and is the best to come out of the Hindi film industry this year. Paa is a complete family film that will appeal to all individuals with a heart. Everyone should come out and watch this film! It is truly a wonderful family film. There are no two thoughts about that one. It is a beautiful film about relationships, that touches deep down to your soul. The best thing about this movie is that it proves that this film industry can come up with their own stories from scratch, like Taran Adarsh says in his review. Moreover, this is something I want to see more. Every film is a risk, but with no risk, comes no success. Years ago, Amitabh was not even a star, but someone took a risk, and now we do not want to image this industry without him. Paa has terrific performances, but there are no two questions on who this movie belongs to. This movie belongs to Auro! There are no words to explain his performance, not even awards will do justice, but seeing this with your own eyes will be the biggest gift you ever give yourself. He has moved beyond his great acting abilities and I cannot wait to see more of him in years to come. Abhishek was once again superb and shows us that he can act and that he is here to stay. I cant wait to see all his future films. Vidya was amazing and graceful. She is a great actor and I hope to see her in more movies to come. She enacts the role of a mother gracefully and proves herself as an actor, once again. Everyone does a great job, including the other children in the film. The best thing to say about this movie is to go and see it now! The team of Paa deserves a round of applause: What a brilliant movie! Balki does a mind-blowing job with the script and with direction. The music was also very fitting to the film and nice. I love the “mudhi mudhi†song. The movie is shot so careful and strategically that you want more. When the movie ended, I wished it would go on and on and that says a lot in itself.

Hi,PAA- one of the most awaited movies of the year for obvious reasons.The concept is good and R.Balki- the director and writer(also presented the movie CHEENI KUM ) has presented it in a very nice way.The movie is not that long and the screenplay is nice and fast moving except the media scenes,few of which were not required.As most of them will say,you wont feel that you are seeing Amitabh Bacchan on the screen.He has performed very well and one of his best works after Black-hats off to Big B.Abhishek and vidya also have done a good job in the movie.Music is Ok .Its a sensative movie and if you have a good taste for such movies its a must watch as this movie will make you laugh , cry and clap for the performances.A well made 2.15 hours movie and i wld suggest you to go for it.
