I could actually relate to Vidya (Auro's mother), the scenes where she comes to know 'Auro has Progeria', she breaks down, reads a lot on internet/books and makes herself strong, so strong that people's comments hardly matter to her.
Well I am bad at writing a review; I would suggest you go and watch the movie. For AURO. For Amitabh Bachhan (he himself is 70 and played a 12 yr old).
I am sure you will cherish the experience.
First 'Taare Zameen Per', then 'Aap ki antra' and now 'PAA', are we changing? Now that these characters (with dyslexia, autism, Progeria) have become popular, our kids will be accepted in our society/school with lesser apprehension and they will get the love and care they deserve. I really hope so!
I look forward to watch 'My Name is Khan' starring Shahrukh Khan. He plays a character of an autistic Adult.

Yes in this perfect world or should I say "reel" world is Auro accepted with no one giving him an awkward glance, sniggering at him, and simply accepting him for what he is. We have come a long way yes but we still have a long way to go, I'm sorry if I sound a big negative but I have to be realistic, especially when it comes to disabilities and India. Loads is happening and we are definately making strides in areas unimaginable even 10 years ago, and I pray that when our children go to school they will face compassion and true acceptance. That would be my dream come true.
Yes, even I had been thinking about this increase in the movies on disabilities in our country. You could also add Sharukh's 'My name is Khan' on aspeger syndrome to the list. I just hope all these big stars could help bring awareness on disability.
Also, I read a few months back that a tamil movie is being made on down syndrome and a boy with down syndrome is actually acting in the movie. Just waiting for it to release.
Thank you for sharing about that movie. I'll need to make time to watch that as well.
