Like never before, Paa demonstrated the relationship between a father and son. The fact that the father and son's roles were actually reversed made the movie's most intriguing aspect.

It was directed by R. Balki.
Udaan (2010)

Following Rohan's return home, Bhairav seizes complete control of his life and forces him to labour in his factory.

‘Wake Up Sid!’, starring Ranbir Kapoor revolves around the character of Siddharth Mehra, also known as Sid (Ranbir). He is the son of wealthy parents. His father, Ram Mehra (Anupam Kher), sees that he has no interest in education and forces him to work for his business, where he fails miserably. Sid running to his father's office to show him his first payment is the film's high point.
Waqt : The Race Against Time (2005)
The movie centres on Aditya (Akshay Kumar), a carefree young man with no life goals. After tying the knot with his sweetheart Pooja (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) without notifying anyone else, his father Ishwar (Amitabh Bachchan) decides to teach his son responsibilities.

Shakti (1982)
A collection of films depicting father-son relationships wouldn't be complete without ‘Shakti’, starring Amitabh Bachchan and the late Dilip Kumar. The connection between DCP Ashwini Kumar (Dilip Kumar), an honourable police officer, and his son Vijay Kumar (Amitabh Bachchan) is the subject of Shakti.
