Auro, the protagonist is a normal 13 year old boy except for the fact is he suffers from a rare genetic disorder, progeria, that accelerates the ageing process. He has a body of a 65 year old.
The central character Auro played by Amitabh is exemplary. He has turned his Auro avatar into one of the most lovable characters of all time. Not once do you see the grandeur of Amithabh Bachchan, the charisma. Auro does the talking and captivates your heart and mind. He makes you fall in love with Auro. His relationship with his grandma is a point to cherish. The scenes of Auro & his friends are beautifully scripted. The dialogues are witty and Auro’s one liners makes you smile. Despite the emotional tags the screenplay is not maudlin at all. While Abhishek & Vidya has done well it is worth mentioning Arundhati Nag’s portrayal of Auro’s grandmum – good performance.
The film was something beyond expectations and turned out to be a different experience. I’m just overwhelmed by this piece of work that's brought to the audience.
The music & background score by Ilaiyaraja is commendable, gels with the heart of the movie. The camera work by PC Sreeram is magnificently done.
Full marks to R Balakrishnan for his work.
Rating: ****
