PAA- The Movie

Though I usually use the blog for Hollywood reviews i did want to point out or draw attention to a film that I just finished watching called PAA. This is the from the Bachchan Banner which has recently re-launched AB Corp after the company fell on hard times in the 90's. The story is simple - a boy with a rare genetic disease that causes him to age at an expedited rate and his relationships with his friends, family and a new formed one with a politician played by Abhishek Bachchan.
The Good - The movie is pretty slick and Amitabh's performance is one of the finest I've seen in a very long time (since Black dare I say) Vidya is also in full form stealing some crucial scenes.
The Bad - Although I do think Abhishek steps it up in this film there is still something missing from his portrayl of this character. I wanted to like him in this role more then I did.
The Ugly - The music and score of this film was a mess of cheesy, over dramatic tunes that left nothing to hum along with and instead was very distracting on the whole.

I do recommend this film to be seen on the big screen and I think its safe to say the re-launch of the Bachchan's imprint in Bollywood was a success.
