Critic Reviews for Paa

All Critics (8) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (4)

  • Disappointingly, Paa is not as out-of-the-box as it could have been.

    The Indian Express

  • 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.

    Time Out

  • This would-be tearjerker without the musical numbers of typical Bollywood fare is for die-hard Amitabh Bachchan fans only.

    Frank Lovece

    Hollywood Reporter

  • Odd and sometimes oddly affecting.

    Rachel Saltz

    New York Times

  • 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.

    February 27, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

    Nikhat Kazmi

    The Times of India

  • 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 Reviews for Paa

  • Jan 19, 2010
    Besides the effort put in by Big B (Amitabh Bachchan) to transform himself into Auro's character, there's hardly anything worth applauding in this movie. While the performance by the entire cast is outstanding, the script is awfully appalling.
