Better Late Then Never
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
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.
This is the best movie of the year till now. The storyline lies in the life of a child suffering from this rare disease and his life span a rather short one of only 13 yrs suffering from Progeria, a very rare genetic disease which make a child to age very rapidly. Amitabh Bachchan (Introducing) yet at his best with this one, Best Acting , 10 marks for the director, Abishek has a lot to learn from his father and this is the one. Best direction, best story line up and very slow supporting actress because the true spirit of a mother was not there. yet i give 10 /10 to none other than Amitabh Bachchan for a very outstanding performance.
Paa is an extraordinary film--technically brilliant with career-topping performances and a strong, emotional story that won't let you leave the theater without shedding a few tears. I have to start out by saying that Amitabh continues to outdo himself with each and every film. One could never tell that he was not a 12 year-old boy. I become a bigger fan of his with each new movie. Abhishek also gives his best performance since Guru. Like his wife, deep-rooted Indian roles such as Refugee, Sarkar, Guru, and Paa suit him the most. The mod, macho-man, college boy, and filmi hero looks (Dhoom, Dus, Kuch Na Kaho, etc.) don't suit him at all. I also feel that this is Vidya Balan's best since Parineeta.Just goes to show that the director is a genius. He has put together the film so perfectly. Each scene is captivating and flows beautifully from one scene to the next. The strong emotions pull your heartstrings, and you are able to relate with your own life experiences in one way or another. The classical background score is lovely. The only thing I would have changed is the opening credits. Why is Jaya sitting and reading all the names?! Lol. But yes, this movie is a must-see.
1. Poor Poor Script. I couldn't find the theme, the concept behind the "story". I felt as if a story is made fit to showcase the greatness of the actors.2. Unnecessary sub-plots. The story drifts from the actual subject so much that I got confused what the director wanted to show. In a movie dealing with progeria and father-son relationship why spend 30 minutes or more showing the media-politician imbroglio. What makes 'Taare Zameen Par' a better movie of that genre is that not a single moment in the movie drifts away from the main subject.3. Missing the meaning of tagline's worth. There was no father-son relationship that was highlighted. Hence 'father-son son-father' thingy was just a marketing gimmick.4. Songs. Not the music or melody of them, but where they are placed. Especially the 'Hichiki' song was put at a point where I least expected it.5. The very reason why the movie was made. In an interview R Balki, the director of the movie, had boasted that when he was in the office of Amitabh Bachchan one day he saw the banter between Abhishek and his father as the role reversal. And hence he wanted to cast the real father-son duo as reel son-father. When he heard about the disease Progeria, he shouted 'Eureka'. In my opinion, it is a very poor way to conceive a movie. May be that is the reason for the poor script.You might argue this as one of the best performances of Amitabh. Of course, he acts well that's why he is so great and I am one of his biggest fans. But one thing we must not forget that it is not that great actors make great movies. It is the great movies that make the actors great.(Originally posted at weirdo-on-movies.blogspot.com/)
