Bollywood & its new affair with health disorders ;)

Yesterday, I was watching newly released movie, "Paa", starring Bachan's dual of Father & Son, Vidya Balan.
Movie was really nice and it adds new perspective to these rare disorders which never gets known or noticed by ordinary people.
In this film a child "Auro" was suffering from "Progeria - A rare abnormality marked by premature aging (grey hair and wrinkled skin and stooped posture) in a child". The role was played very well by Mr. Amitabh Bachan.
























There has been couple of movies released on the same lines of health disorders recently.
It all started with "dyslexia - Impaired ability to learn to read" in Taare Zameen Paar played by Ishaan.

"Black" had Rani Mukherjee starring as blind girl who struggles hard to study and get a degree taking help from his teacher played by Amitabh.

In all three, "Taare Zameen Paar", "Black" and "Paa" one very important aspect of life was also touched called Parenting. Generally we fail to miss this part which is of utmost importance because of our attraction towards the stars starring rather than the design and script around it. I just hope that parenting aspect is shown in more better way so that it catches the general public's attention and add value to the society...


Then there were few other movie which had packaged the disorder with bollywood masala like love, dance, fights, comedy, etc. Like "Ghajini" starring Aamir Khan playing role of Sanjay Singhania suffering from amnesia with short term memory loss. Ghajini is more remembered in a funny way of short term memory loss and good fights rather than any other aspect :(.

Hope the change and momentum in the direction of "Paa" continues......
