Paa

Last Saturday, inspite of the hectic travel and visits, I managed to see "paa" at chennai.

A laughter riot from the first reel to the last. The introduction of the cast and others itself was a novel idea and was a soothing change.

The title clearly says "introducing amitabh bachchan". While you watch the movie, you forget that "Auro" is the great legendary actor.

Every actor has contributed their best and Illiaraja's melodious background is a feather on the cap.

The backbone of the film is the hilarious dialog. Kudos to Mr. R Balki for having thought of a serious concept and put it across without tear jerking drama.

The concept "progeria" itself is new and I wish the introductory text in the beginning last a few minutes longer for the audience to read. A pictorial description could also have been added.

The promos did not give any indication what the film has in store. Many thought it would be similar to "taare Zameen par" a movie about a dyslectic child. This could be one major reason why the theatres were not occupied to their capacity.

I am sure, as word spreads, more would see and enjoy "paa". After all word of mouth is the best form of advertisement.
