and they get separated.Shailaja is now working as a principal of a women’s college. She is still unmarried and known as a disciplinarian. Sashi joins that college as lecturer to win back Shailaja. Will he succeed?

The Performances

Jagapathi Babu once again comes out with an effective performance essayed with consummate ease. Priyamani is decent and convincing in her role.Hamsa Nandini has nothing much to do. The trio of Brahmanandam, Sunil and Ali tickle the funny bone. All others are adequate in their roles.

The Techniques

Director Madan has come out with a decent story that is narrated well withsensitivity. The dialogues are meaningful. The screenplay keeps the audience interest in the narration. Music by Keeravani is pleasing to the ears.Cinematography by Surender Reddy is top class. Editing and background score enhance the narration values. Production values are high.

Analysis

The film deals with the aspect of relationship and especially love. Though the attempt can be appreciated to differentiate between practicality and sensitivity, it could have been brought up with more depth. The first half provides enough entertainment setting good expectations for the second half.

However, that spirals down and loses the momentum, it also gets dragged due to the unwanted songs. Though there are scenes which could be objectionable to the family audience in terms of its sensuality, overall the film goes smoothly though it lacks great punch. This might be a profit grosser at the box office but not high returns. Publicity would be required for the same.

Movie Review : Paa
Rating : 3.5/5
Banner : A B Corp
Cast : Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Paresh Raval, Vidya Bala and Others
Music : Ilaiyaraja
Cinematography : P.C. Sreeram
Producer: Sunil Manchanda
Director: R Balakrishnan
Released Date: December 04, 2009


The Synopsis

Amol (Abhishek Bachchan) has an affair with Vidya (Vidya Balan) and leaves her after she becomes pregnant. He dabbles in politics and is quite ambitious. Vidya, a gynecologist, carries her pregnancy and gives birth to a boy Auro (Amitabh Bachan) who is suffering from progeria.The 12 year old Auro goes to school and lives with his mother and grand mother (Arundhati Naag). He has a buddy (Pratik) in the school. He happens to meet Amol. A series of events bring the family together and Auro bonds with his father.


The Performances

For the first time we do not see Amitabh Bachchan on the screen but comes out as just Auro, speaking an adolescent tongue with a nasal twang andmoving in an awkward shuffle. This is an Oscar award winning role that Big B played to perfection. Abhishek Bachchan is no less inferior. He essayed his role with aplomb and effortless ease.

Vidya Balan is the surprise element. She is simply superb as a caring mother and as a traumatized wife who has been left alone by a politician husband.The roles of Arundhati Naag and Paresh Rawal are credible and they perform effectively. Pratik is truly talented. Jaya
Bachchan in her cameo is pleasing. All others are adequate in their roles.

The Techniques

At last, Balki comes along with a refreshing story of relationships. The great point in the story is that not even once Auro, suffering with progeria, has been discriminated. His role has been dealt with normally and maturely. The screenplay and dialogues are good. In spite of political sub plots, Auro carries the narration in the most sensible and sensitive manner.

Cinematography by PC Sriram is of world standard. Music by Ilayaraja is pleasing and soothing. Make up of Amitabh Bachchan as Auro by Hollywood technicians Christien Tinsley and Domini Till is simply amazing.

Analysis

The film belongs to a completely different genre but the thing that makes it better is the humor and the deeper meaning of relationships in this materialistic world. While the first half comes out with flying colors and the second half gets drifted due to the political aspect and the rivalry. Overall, the film strikes a chord with the audience and this is more of an emotional treat that is mixed with right elements of humor, understanding and sensibility. The credit for that goes to the technical values and a masterly writing. This should go well with all audiences.

His life starts to look up with the arrival of Shanaya (Shenaz Treasuryvala). AS romance starts between them, Pooja comes again wanting a reconciliation.Whom will Vivan choose, Pooja or Shanya?

The Performances

Himesh Reshammiya has a new look and his acting is better than his previous two films. The roles of Shenaz Treasuryvala and Sonal Sehgal have not been properly delineated. Paresh Rawal is as usual essays his role with ease. Zakir Hussain and Rajesh Khattarare adequate in their roles.

The Techniques

The love triangle story is not a new theme to Hindi cinema, but Radio has been handled without emotional sensitivity by director Isshaan Trivedi. The characters are not properly etched and the story line has loopholes. Why does Pooja suddenly wants to come back? No idea! The screenplay does not create interest in the narration. Cinematography by Attar Singh Saini is
good. Himesh Reshammiya’s music is OK.

Analysis

The film has a storyline that has been visited several times before so there was not much for the audience to predict right from the start. While the first half goes about with the regular tale of romance and emotion, the second half goes about with the sentimental mix up and by this time, the audience doesn't have much to do except wait for it to get over.

The number of unwanted songs is a major drawback which has spoiled the momentum of the film. Overall, there are some good moments but then that is not sufficient to get the crowds to the theatres.

Why Allu Arjun's dance is incredible

With his tantalising dance moves in films like 'Arya', 'Bunny', 'Happy Days' and 'Parugu', young star Allu Arjun earned the fame that he was one of the best dancers in Telugu cinema. In his latest film Arya2, Arjun has performed near-impossible dancing. Yes, some of them you can't believe with your eyes. We call for suspension of disbelief.

In songs like Guppedantha gunde premaki and at the beginning of the song Ringa ringa, his dance is simply amazing. You will say the 'ekalavya shishya' of Michael Jackon, to whom he has dedicated the movie, is, by any standard, one of the most amazing dancers in South India.

Arjun recently confessed that he learnt dance mostly by himself, by hanging to the wall of his practice room, the photos of his three biggest idols - Chiranjeevi, Michael Jackson and Prabhu Deva. After watching Arya2, you will say that Prabhu Deva and Chiranjeevi will openly speak big of him.

In fact, one of the biggest high points of Arya2 is his dance.
