What can I say... I liked the movie.

With all the hype created around this movie, I thought it wouldn't be so great, as always happens with hyped movies !
But I still wanted to see it. I liked Cheeni Kum by the same director, so thot I'd give this a try.
I took Dad along, and boy did he have a good time. We were laughing so much during the scene where Vishnu (Auro's friend) is describing his dad !! God that was just too awesome !
The story is about Auro (BigB), who has progeria, and lives with his mother Vidya. He loves school and has many friends. Hes quite smart too. One day this MP comes to his school for an award ceremony and really likes Auro. It turns out that the MP is his dad, who left his mom years ago when she became pregnant. It then goes on to show the bond between the two.
It is not overly dramatic. It is not sad-sad-sad. Instead it is quite hilarious at times. People in the audience were laughing loud, and so was I. Abhishek is looking really good in his white kurta-pyjamas and he has acted well finally. I like him in such understated, cool roles, like in Bluffmaster. He shud do more of this ! Vidya was ok. Sabyasachi has made her look really good. I love his sarees. I like the lil girl too, who keeps chasing Auro and also Vishnu (he was just too funny). The only part I found too filmy was the end, where they takes the mini pheras around the hotel bed. That was a bit too much. Rest was good.
Though I heard many people cried a lot, I didnt (even though i generally do very easily). But I did have a lump in my throat coupla times.

Watch it. Its a nice movie. Well made.

P.S. I also like the "Gum sum gum, gum sum ho kyun ..." song !
