Paa is Balki’s brilliant work after his extremely lovable Cheeni Kum (2007). Flicks of Balki are often simple, easy to understand and different on the other hand.
Story isn’t focused on the illness; it is more about a 13 year old boy, Auro (Amitabh Bachchan), who is suffering from Progeria. He lives with his Gynecologist mother Vidya (Vidya Balan) and her mother. Due to the disease Auro looks like a 70 year old man but mentally he is of his age.
During Vidya’s student days, she was in relationship with Amol (Abhishek Bachchan) and got pregnant. Amol wanted Vidya to abort the child as he considered the child to be a hurdle in his political career ambitions. But Vidya’s decision to keep the child led to her break up with Amol. Rest of the movie deals with how they get back together.
Wih Auro’s act Big B proves that he is the paa of all actors where acting is concerned. Vidya Balan plays the role of a mother effortlessly. Abhishek Bachchan was preety good. Arundhati’s act was impressive. The child actors were very good.
The music is average but sweet. Makeup by Domini Till, Christien Tinsley deserves special appreciation for turning Big B to a Progeria patient.
Paa will leave tears in your eyes as well as smile on your lips.
