An 66 year old man as a 12 year old boy, very difficult to think but he makes it so simple . The plot of the movie is so simple but the cast and the situations and episodes of the movie is interesting and emotional . Bgm elevates every scene of the film , P.c sriram have again shows what can he do with his camera ..The major plus point of the movie is the whole movie gives you a musical journey . that is where shows the commanding strength of balki. Movie would have been even more shorter. on the whole definitely a different and a brave attempt by a superstar of India ...shows that he is not only a star but also an brilliant actor.

Paa a movie depicting the rare father-son-son-father relation is simply superb. R.Balki is great.His stories are not the ones which cine goers have been watching.Kudos to him!He tries out something different something fresh.His last outing Cheeni Kum depicting about a 64 year old man loving a 34 year old woman.Similarly Paa also has a very rare story.Which Bollywood has never experimented.Paa depicts on the disease Progeria.Paa has something else too-it has Amitabh Bachchan never like before. Paa's only drawback is its screenplay.The political campaigns of Abhishek Bachchan is purely wasted. The music is pleasant. Performance wise-Amitabh Bachchan deserves no amount of praises for his acting as Auro.He is incredible.No wonder he won the National Award for Best Actor For Paa. Abhishek Bachchan is superb.Vidya is excellent.Arunhdati Nag is amazing.Paresh Rawal is funny in a brief role.Overall,watch Paa for only one reason for Amitabh Bachchan

There is nothing in this movie which can be enjoyed or admired. The reason i'm going with 2 stars for this movie is only for Amitabh Bachchan's role. I have to be really honest about the movie when it comes to the script. Its totally a big disappointment. Guess what, Vidya Bhalan is a Doctor in this movie and she does an intercourse with Abisheik Bachchan without any security. Where she does her doctorate in this movie without knowing the basis which results to birth of Amitabh. If Amitabh hasn't got any role for this movie then its an absolute flop. No story, No great performance, just waste of time. Don't even recommend your enemies to watch this movie by the way, time is very precious, don't waste it...

Again i had high expectations from this movie , but then again this movie disappointed me. Abhishek characterized as his father's father was a fairly interesting and ironical plot, but the director didn't even come close to making an exceptional film. The plot was extraordinary, this doesn't mean that the director should add some regular, non-interesting mirch masala in it. The relationship between abhishek and vidya was irredeemably stupid, and the end was as always obvious. Some instances prove that amitabh is really intelligent whereas some say that he believed he was lucky to be considered as intelligent. For e.g: In the beginning abhishek is impressed with amitabh's 'out of the box' thinking to make that white globe, but later amitabh confesses that he forgot to paint it and had no such idea of world unity. Patients suffering from Progeria(or pregoria or whatever) don't look like that, no one has SUCH A BIG HEAD when he is 12 still i witness people admiring the make up of amitabh like anything. This movie did'nt 'move' me , not even on ONE instance. The hospital drama was supposed to be touching and heart-breaking but i didn't shed a tear, i didn't even get shivers down my spine , i just sat with hands folded, waiting for these desperate little attempts which were trying to 'move' me, subside. Paresh Rawal was hardly shown in the film. They should have used him much more , at least for the sake of some quality and fun in the movie. In the end, i tried to hide my criticism about the movie, but i just couldn't cover it. Anyways, for the little one liner jokes in the movie which i did like, i rate this movie... - 5.5/10
