paa,amitabh bachchan, R balki.......and bradd pitt
Watched Paa recently. Commendable effort on the part of the director, who happens to be its writer as well. Amitabh Bachchan has done a brilliant job. We know he is capable and praising him will be like a chore so often done. What I don’t know is why he lets others to waste him in movies like AAg.
The answer is not too far to search.
He is an extra-ordinarily brilliant actor, but he is not god. A person comes to him with a script....a good one on paper. An artist with a fire in his belly to do further good work sees challenge in it, so he agrees to surrender himself to the director. Now, it is the job of the director to keep intact the script and the actor, the costumes and the location, the budgets and the spot boy, the music and the climax and so on.
Now, here comes the opportunity to applaud R Balki. He envisioned a superb concept and with the help of even superior make up created Auro . And what did Amotabh Bachchan did? He gave life and voice, limbs and stoic to Auro. R Balki could not have done it without Amitabh just like Bachchan ji could have gone wasted without R balki.
Geniuses do not work in a vaccum, they need another genius to have their might shine bright!!!!
Oh!!! Is this my pain oozing out in words!!!!
I dare not call myself one, because I have not yet proved myself in any way.
But the way, Jaya Bachchan ji while reading out the cast at the start of the movie, said the name of the director, shows how much love he was showered upon by the ‘first family’ of the Indian film industry. When she said ‘R’ Balki, it sounded like ‘our’ Balki.
Someone out there.... please show me similar support and encouragement. And I promise you I will try to create another Paa.
I feel I have that might in me that with efforts can shine bright!!!!!

While we are still discussing Paa, I think there is another movie which deserves a mention here. Both movies, if at all related, do so, because they are opposites of each other. In script I mean and not in performances.
The movie is “The Curious case of Benjamin Button”.
While Paa is a story of a child who ages fast and dies young of old age, The Curious...... narrates the life of a boy who is born old and dies infant, as if a clock is running backwards.
Here also, the director (I don’t remember) and the actor (Brad Pitt) deserve standing Ovation for their tremendous hard work which make a completely unimaginable and impossible possibility seems so plausible.
