On the one side, the film shows the development of Auro’s character and on the flip side it depicts the journey of his parents. His father (whom he knew only as an MP, liar and a monkey) gives his all to fight for justice and impresses people with his transparent approach towards politics and courage to take a stance- “With great power comes great responsibility”.
His mother is his constant motivation and a true friend, who is proud to have a ‘lucky’ child like Auro. It is touching to find such a conscientious child in Auro who does not want others to sacrifice for his sake. His on-the-face attitude, never-say-die spirit and curt political jokes make him the most loved character of the story.
If one the one side it is the child’s dilemma to reveal his identity on the other hand it is the mother’s determination not to become a hiccup to someone’s dream. The father is left alone lamenting for his long years of neglect and indifference towards two most important persons in his life who are yet to be included in his family photograph.
Paa is a story of a sheer struggle – a struggle of a mother to sustain her child and prove a point to her partner, a struggle of a child to brave his physical ailment and be hopeful about life, and a struggle of a politician to do something good for his country.
Music Director Ilaiyaraja has cast a spell on its audience with the music of ‘Udi udi udi mein iteefaq se’ penned by Swanand Kirkire. Illaiyaraja also deserves kudos for his impeccable background music. A moving storyline, almost a flawless performance from the actors and an intelligent merging of human emotions and crude reality have done it for this humane biopic.
