    AARON REVIEW :

    Aaron has to be called the one and only attempt which doesn't compromise with it's content for the sake if commercial value. Surrounding the hype with news like, Film is shot in minus 4°C, the Foreign Technical team from the different countries, the convincing suject like Mother-Son relationship etc. Aaron does not fail to fulfill thise promises, although it is not that great Cinematically.

    Film revolves around Babu (Atharva Padhye) who is living with his Uncle Madhav Apte (Sahshank Ketkar) and Aunty Sunanda (Neha Joshi) after his Mother Alita (Swastika Mukhrjee) left him in Childhood. Babu and Alita are in touch through letters, but now he wants to see his mom, wants to meet his mom. So Babu decides to travel to France with his uncle Madhav to find and meet his mother. Does he meet her so easily, or he has to search a lot? Aaron is all about this Journey exploring bond between son-mother and nephew-uncle aunt. The Locations, The theme, Cinematography all these factors are below par. Acting by all the cast members is negligible because the interest is not generated by Storytelling. The script could have explored much better by the Director, he is at fault here.

    One thing should be mentioned here that the film is made with Zero Commercial elements so, do not watch the film with that mindset. There is no compromise with the content so the conflicts are missing to wow your cinematic experience. But as Decent Attempt to the Connective Subject like Mother's Love for her Son or Gaurdians love for the Kid always remains unmatchable, is something that you can watch in Aaron but all the Feature Film aspects are missing. The sympathy goes to the emotional subject but again Cinema isn't all about emotions, it should contain that Cinematic values or else it becomes a Documentary and here Aaron is neither a proper Feature film nor a Documentary. Overall a Below Average and lazily executed film which should be skipped.
