Amitabh Bachchan in Paa

I watched Paa tonight and I'm awed. No word seems appropriate enough... Its not beautiful, or fantastic or superb... its just up there! Its an Amitabh Bachchan movie!!! Probably the best movie that I'v seen of him. That man is a class apart. I used to think that he's the greatest actor Bollywood's ever had. Now I would go as far as to say, he's the greatest actor this world has ever seen... He just gets better and better with time. Old wine!!!
Its a great movie. Balaki has done a superb job. Every actor has added value to the movie... Every dialog, every song is carefully integrated... There's not a single moment that lacks magic... Bachchan Ji is so convincing as a smart ass, special 12 year old sick kid. You actually fall in love with the kid. His acting is just effortless... Is he even acting?
The movie doesn't try to make the audience cry. You just feel tears pricking at the corners of ur eyes and something tugging at ur heart even while you are laughing at some wisecrack of the incorrigible Auro.
Abhishek is so good in his role as the tech savvy, reformer politician and so is Vidya Balan as the loving mother who is a strong, independent woman. Hats off to Mr. Balaki... and Mr Bachchan... words can't do justice to the respect that I'm feeling for him.
