Story:
An exceptional tale, the story revolves around Auro (Amitabh), a thirteen year old boy who is suffering from a very rare disease. He has Progeria, a genetic defect that makes him look five times older his age. Auro lives with his mother (vidya) who is a doctor and he doesn't know the details of his father. Though he has the illness, Auro is a cheerful and intelligent kid and the story takes a turn when he meets his father Amol Atre (abhishek). Amol is a politician who has got strong ideals and what happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:
The director has come up with a thought provoking tale and both the presentation and narrative were good. The dialogues were impressive, the script was well written and the screenplay was adept. Background score was top notch and the music was neat. Cinematography was mind blowing and editing was crisp. Abhishek Bachchan came up with an elegant performance and made his presence felt, Vidya was a revelation and she has proved that there is a strong performer inside her. The real show stealer was undoubtedly Amitabh who literally makes the viewers forget his majestic presence and gets you into the character. Paresh Rawal was excellent, Arundhati Nag was average, Jaya Bachchan did justice to her role. the others did their bit and added value to the film.

Conclusion:
The film belongs to a completely different genre but the thing that makes it better is the humor and the deeper meaning of relationships in this materialistic world. While the first half comes out with flying colors and the second half gets drifted due to the political aspect and the rivalry. Overall, the film strikes a chord with the audience and this is more of an emotional treat that is mixed with right elements of humor, understanding and sensibility. The credit for that goes to the technical values and a masterly writing. This should go well with all audiences.
