Aura Of Auro

Almost two decade back I saw a movie called Anjali, although then I was not that smart to understand the crust of movie but still it touched my heart, specially little girl. I was deeply moved by seeing the chemistry between Revathi and Shamili (The girl played role of Anjali). The same scenes were recreated when I saw chemistry between Vidya and Auro. I had only one question in my mind while watching the entire movie and it was: Does Big B has any limits? Not even for a single moment made me feel that I am not watching a 12 year old boy but a 67 year old. I think he sets competition for himself; no one can match his panache and enthusiasm. Amitabh is mind bobbling in playing Auro in Paa. A delightful treat to watch from start to end.
The story is very crisp and fresh. It’s gripping enough to ensure you glued on your seat until the end. The flow of movie is also quite impressive, very rare dull moments (I surely didn’t find any) if any. It’s not a tear breaker, if you go with a mindset of that type. It’s on the contrary a light hearted family movie with some delightful laughter moments of its own. Conversations between Auro and his friend Vishnu are amazing, they are innocently cheeky.

Performance wise Amitabh has again outperformed everyone, the best part of the movie is, characters are very less and every character has a very strong appeal in the movie except that of Paresh Rawal. Vidya Balan has rediscovered herself in her powerful role of Vidhya, she has portrayed 21st century’s modern woman who can survive on her own. Her character seems to have custom made for her. I never had doubt on her acting capabilities but lately her weird choice of unconventional roles made me think otherwise. Abhishek is remarkable in a young GenX politician, in real life if some same breed politicians are born then we will surely head towards a better country, although very much unreal but he made his role feel as real as possible. Auro has definitely became a cult in young generation, he has created a wave of sympathy once again (After Ishaan did it in Taare Zameen Par) for special children. I have no words to praise Amitabh therefore leaving the space blank for that……………………………
Musically movie is very correct, songs fit to situation and words gel into ears. Nice and soothing listening. Special mention should go to the makeup artists who made Auro come to life possible. In short, it’s a movie which would touch your heart at once and will make you feel humbly requesting more of Auro out of it.
