I have never heard of R. Balki or watched his previous film. This film was an experience in lot of senses. This movie is akin to "Elephant Man" who lived in England and suffered myriad of agony, albeit those times there was no genetic studies. There were few incredible scenes that melted the die-hards. Same token, there were few scenes that could have been written with more depth. The one scene-when Auro first comes to know about his father-the way the photo is shown and the emotion displayed and the time traversed is not in tune with the rest of the emotionally tugging scenes. The trick camera work that makes a Big man into a little person is amazing. Techinically, Indian Cinema has marveled but it was the story and screenplay that lacked behind. The story is very poignant and the actors excel in portraying. Amitab is an Icon who was born to act, but the best acting belongs to Vidya Balan as "Dr.Vidya". I have seen better acting from Abishek. Good movies have few things in common-they are written and produced by the same person. Balki's dialogs are good but too many references to a four letter word was not necessary and the point about pollution could have been made by other means. The movie is good when a story is well told and good references made to moral bankrupt(the couple consulting Dr.Viday for abortion-with there sole reason being too busy to have a child.) Suffice to say we need more movies like "Paa" and less movies like "Kurbaan" "Three Idiots" just to name a few. Rotten actors like Aamir Khan should be kicked out of the industry since their sole purpose is to enrich themselves at the expense of the unsuspecting audience. This movie should be an Oscar Nominee and a not a demeaning crap like "Lagaan".
