Movie Review- Paa

REVIEW: PAA

An exceptionally huge let down on the part of Amitabh Bacchan re-introduction promos.
Ever green mommish Vidya Balan, with her fixed expression of stealing eyes from her consummated affair’s boyfriend who didn’t marry her after pre-marital sex seems like complaining that she has fed up of bearing illegitimate children, bringing them up all alone (with her parents’ support) and hiding the fact from the child’s father till he reaches her via his own kid and begging before her. (Reference and Evidence: Movie “Hey Baby”)
First half is exceptionally boring where the viewers actually gasp for a good/ humorous/ interesting scene or a turn to come which will bind them from piddling around or checking their messages on cell..
The whole first half is spent waiting for the second half, which too does a no big business.
The only charm of the movie is the kick lines of the school kid, Amitabh and his class mates with some witty experiences exchanged.

Though granted a weak role, but Paresh Rawal manages the scenes allotted to him very well.
Director Balki could do more with the sensitive topic.

The only good thing about the movie is that it avoids the rona dhona upon the mercies throughout in the movie and death of the main lead in the end.

One of the two weaknesses of the movie is that the viewer goes with “tare zamin pe” impression of being touched, and is disappointed of being rather ridiculed on the punch line of “a story on father son relationship”. 
The other weakness being losing the topic while trying to give a social cause or a national message to the viewers by way of Abhishek’s political arenas.

The music is average, lacks good picturisation with below average lyrics.
Abhishek is seen trying to do hard for the scenes, as he anticipated being compared with his reel son, real Dad, hero Paa.

To short, I rate it as an avoidable movie…with 2 out of 5 marks grade
