Paa (2009)
7/10
Good
5 February 2010
First of all Hats off for Amitabh Bachchan and Balki

Amitabh who off recent has done several bad films like ALADIN redeems himself and comes back with a bang with PAA

Balki after the refreshing and likable CHEENI KUM comes yet again with something that is different and nice and against stereotype

The film isn't a sentimental or a film like TZP here the film is treated like a light film even though the disease is shown which is nice perhaps ppl are used to see the sentimental side

The film starts well, Amitabh's character is well introduced and his scenes are nice Even Abhishek- Amitabh scenes or Amitabh scenes with his family are treated well and look realistic

The film is however ruined by the added subplot of Amitabh's political campaigns which take the film away from the plot but otherwise the film is well handled The climax too though melodramatic is well handled

Direction is good Music is okay

Amitabh excels as AURO, in fact he creates history and is flawless Abhishek too does a good job as Amol Vidya is excellent, after several reptitive roles she finally tries something different and does a good job Arundati Naag is good too The rest are all good Paresh too is good in a cameo
