First Post - In love with Arjun's character

From the first encounter with his half brother through the last frame where Arjun smiles his heart out realizing what he just left or what he just gained- the journey of this six year old kid in Udaan is nothing but heart-touching.

The tenderness coupled with desperation for affection is reflected in every scene he enacted.

“Yee meraa bisthar hain” – the possessiveness of an object followed by submissiveness are the first signs of the upbringing by his father or more so the lack of mother’s love.

A quick reflex when his father orders to get his brother’s ass into his car, he runs to Rohan and utters the line “Sir bhulaa raha hain” – The first time he realizes that “Sir” can be also be referred as “Papa”. Angry look from his father results in another three stair voyage to let his brother know that “Sir gussa ho raha hain”

The way he greets his Uncle at the door – “Pranaam Chaacha” is adorable. His longing for love and concern about his brother could be felt, as he shares his first secret about his father “Sir ne aapko daanta ? humko hameesha daant the hain..nai tho maarthe hain”

Arjun insulting Rohan after the race is truly GRACEFUL.

How much a six year old kid can hold in his heart was answered in the hospital scene, when Arjun turns his face away to ignore the question “kal kya huaa tha?”

“Chandu ki cycle” brings the smile on his face which was long due…

My favorite scene in the movie that lasts for 8 seconds where Arjun’s life is headed and his helplessness is brilliantly captured from 5:20 to 5:28 in this link.

Finally he gets to hear those words from Rohan “hum jahaan jaayenge, tum humare saath aaoogey” priceless look that conveys - he now has someone that will keep him happy..
