It is actually for the first time that I so so wanted to write something about a movie I saw the other Night.
Before I get into the review part, I would like to say that -Please, Please and Please- Watch this Movie
It is certainly not inspired from Francis Ford Coppola’s Jack(1996) where Robin Williams had the similar rare genetic disease.
If you have to, you can find remote references in film back home like - Dard Ka Rishta, Kaash or more recently - Heyy Babby- where a child is instrumental in getting his estranged parents together.
‘’Knock the door Or I will knock your head ’’ – This is written on the door where AURO sleeps.
At the start of the Movie, in a competition, Auro picks up a globe from his principal’s room and paints it white as he does not get any other color and guess what he gets the first prize as that white globe is interpreted as one world with no differences.
Auro is born to Vidya Balan who for the second time after Hayy Baby is playing the role of single mother.Amol(Abhishek bachan) is the biological father and the couple is alienated for a long time after Amol suggests abortion, as he wants to do something big in field of politics.
Amol accidentally meets Auro at his school’s annual function and awards him for his artistic excellence. Auro was born with a rare genetic disorder called Progeria wherein a child ages fives times faster than his actual age. So at 13, Auro physically looks and functions like a 65-year-old but are mentally as stable as his real age.
The are some witty one liners in the movie.
Behind every monkey is a man named ‘’ Auro’’ – this is written on wall where Auro stays
If I call Amol(member of parliament), it will hurt my Image – Auro says after Amol does not stick upto his promise of taking Auro to rashtrapati bhavan.
Auro makes Amol return from the main door of Rashtrapati Bhavan and later when he is asked why.’’ He cutely says, ‘’I was unable to control my Poty’’.
He calls his grandma – BUM and the reason he says so is because she has got bigg https://m.mouthshut.com/ss rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >@ss
It is a rare story about dedication and love of a mother towards his sick Son.
It is a rare story of a politician who wants to fight the world.
It is a rare story of a Son who wants to reunite his parents.
I was weeping in the last 15 minutes of this movie, as nothing can be as pure as compared to the love and relation with parents.
Have I not written about the Music - I am not sorry – It is too good to be written about?
Please go and watch this movie. It is not important whether you understand the Language because as a human being I am sure that you will be able to connect to this genius - AURO.
