Well thats what I felt after watching Paa. It was much awaited and much anticipated movie. More so since Amitabh Bachchan did not spare any second or cyber real estate to promote the same. Facebook, His blog, ads, you name it, he was everywhere. And when you switch on to have a look at Big Boss , there was Paa…
So well, here I was with my family rushing in to buy tickets to the show at the Forum Value Mall. Got the show at 1:oo and at the very first row..which made my head swim.. for a while.. could not focus …
For a change I was relieved that I did not have to stand up for the National Anthem. Its not that I dont like it but doing it every time was becoming somewhat irritating..
Anyway, on comes Jaya Bachchan to introduce the cast by telling them out loud.. I did not find it particularly charming but well, a change it was..
Abhishek Bachchan looks better and better everyday..Vidya Balan and Arundhati Nag complemented Auro ( Amitabh Bachchan). I liked the interaction between the three the best. Rest was all icing on the cake. I did not find Abhishek’s role very convincing. The script could have been a bit more stronger. Must have worked for others.
The moments between Auro and Abhishek was tender. Auro ruled the screen with his mannerisms and wit. If you are not careful, you might miss his one liners and his logic. So pay attention when you are watching it. I liked his interaction with the kids as well.
I would have liked more interaction with Auro’s grandad. That angle was not covered well.
Otherwise, Auro was fantastic. I loved him. Kudos to Amitabh Bachchan. I think its a fine feather on his cap.
And as a bonus, we also met Ranbir Kapoor who was there in person to promote his film ” Rocket Singh”.Mom In law was excited seeing him as we came out.. hahah !!
Am looking forward to that movie along with ” Avatar”.

Weddings have a way of bringing friends together. So there was a wedding ( friend of Rocky) and I renewed some contacts there and it was nice to see them after a while. It was a lovely ceremony.
Had friends of Rocks down from Mumbai for the same, which was fine as well. Nothing like spending some time and sharing humor and memories with old pals.. We missed you Miko and Rini !!
A lot !!
I think we should get together sometime… in Mumbai soon !!
I loved the return gift which was a plant. This is my first plant though Dad is an avid gardener, I never had plants of my own. I was thinking of starting with some and this seems to be a good one.. as well. I talk to the plant, sing to it and also play music for it.. I hope it likes it. I have named it “Bella” !!
On the painful side :
I think my teeth are exacting revenge upon me. After two root canals, its time for the third. I hate toothaches. My dentist is awesome but still I hate tooth problems.. So praying that this gets done in pure oblivion. Sigh..
