Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Disappointingly, Paa is not as out-of-the-box as it could have been. Rated: 2/5 Apr 17, 2019 Full Review Anil Sinanan Time Out Will Auro survive to know his Pa and reunite his parents? Forget about the disease: this is a vanity vehicle designed to showcase the Big B's versatility. Rated: 3/5 Oct 24, 2017 Full Review Frank Lovece The Hollywood Reporter This would-be tearjerker without the musical numbers of typical Bollywood fare is for die-hard Amitabh Bachchan fans only. Dec 14, 2009 Full Review Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India The film, which peters off into vague sub-plots about slum redevelopment and unwarranted media-bashing in the first half, suddenly picks up and scales new heights in the second half. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 27, 2020 Full Review Anuj Kumar The Hindu Characters don't make a film. Smart lines are not enough to keep you hooked all through. They have to be knitted in an engaging screenplay. Here Balki falter. Jan 24, 2018 Full Review David Chute L.A. Weekly The film owes much of its interest to the alertness and sincerity of the younger Bachchan and the luminous Vidya Balan as the anguished parents, and to the soft wash of the tasteful playback songs supplied by Ilaiyaraaja.

Audience Member What a refreshing experience Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic movie. Super acting of Truly great actor and the one and only Amitabh Bachchan, The King of Bollywood. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Ahmed M THERE ARE SPOILERS BELOW. The movie is outstanding, the story is really good, the performance by Amitabh Bachchan steals the show in this movie. I also loved how Abhishek Bachchan was the dad in this movie and Amitabh was the son, whereas in real life it's the opposite. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/06/16 Full Review Audience Member Some scenes are just too awesome.... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member sudaahhh nonton lhoooo. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 'Inspired' by the Coppola film 'Jack' (not much of a classic) and strangely reminding me of 'Benjamin Button' (possibly because of the makeup ) , this is a well made comedy drama with stellar performances from Amitabh, Vidya and Abhishek. Kudos to Balki to attempt to do something different, though the naysayers would say the casting was a a bit of a gimmick and the make up in the Kamal Hasan territory, but the movie turns out well and much more fun that the typical masala films that Bollywood is churning out these days. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
