On often being asked the question as to how BIG B gets such energy at this age and still has the capability to give his co-stars a run for their money? We get the answer as - what is there in age? You need to have the willingness to work. I think this kind of mentality still helps to boost the confidence of the 68 years old living legend(going to turn 69 in couple of months) and allows him to give such phenomenol performances.
The once lean,tall ,deep baritoned voice boy turned international figure very well deserves the titles attached to his name in due course of time(BIG B, Superstar of the Millenium, The shahenshah of bollywood, The ageless Superstar, The trendsetter, The Baap of Bollywood and many more).
The promos of Bbuddah hoga tera baap(BHTB) used to show - "Call him Don , Shahenshah, Laawaris, Mard...But don't call him Bbuddah". This is most aptly shown. The shahenshah of bollywood have given us enough good reasons in his 40 years of career as to why we should not dare to call him Bbuddah or show him the route to retirement.
Amitabh Bachchan have allowed his fans to view quite a different genre of acting. We viewed him as the Angry young man in the 70's, as a cop, a victim, an activists, a gangster, a grandfather, a teacher, a helpless husband, the wronged father, a progeric 13 year old boy and many more. But according to me we will get to see Amitabh Bachchan as the real Amitabh Bachchan in BHTB. His brand-value has been well potrayed in this film.BHTB is a visual treat for the die-hard fans of big b.
In the film big b is introduced by Prakash raaj as "best ka baap" which suits the cool avatar of big b.His entry shot shows him leaning lazzily on the railings of the escalator, I doubt how many of today"s generation actors can carry off the shot with such an attitude? Ridding a Harley Davidson, or simply turning on the charm in a woman quater his age or by kicking off his oponents,the 68 yrs old had a blast on-screen and also provided ample of reasons for his fans to take part in the blast.
The scene which I loved the most was the penultimate one,in which big b dupes the gang into believing that its the police that is taking over them one by one, and taking advantage he does the "whole-sale clearence" of the gang.
Amitabh Bachchan have presented many famous dialogues in his whole career but one such famous dialogue of his, used in this film still suits him perfectly..."hum jahan khadey hotey hain line wohin se shuru hoti hain"---till date whatever he does,whatever style he owns becomes a trendsetter for even the present generation.
BHTB gives us triple treat. Fristly we get to see marvellous acting of big b as we always do, secondly we get the vocal treat from big b( title track, haal-e-dil, go meera go) and thirdly the dance treat. We saw him as the original item boy of bollywood. There is a part in this film were He says "yeah aaj kaal key bachchey log mera gaana gata hain, copy karta hain mera..." this is completely true. Amitabh bachchan gives the present generation the reason to act. They either remake His films or copies His style. He is a package who has something or the other stored for everyone.
Almost all the Big B fans of his generation claim dat they have grown up seeing His films, I would love to say that even though I am not from HIS generation but I have also grown up watching all his films( saat hindustani- BHTB). I just cant stop myself from thanking one man who could visualise big b in the character of VIJU...Hats off to you PURI SIR, THANKS A TON FOR BRINGING BACK MY IDOL AS I WANTED TO SEE HIM FOR YEARS.
I am not over here to write a review of BHTB, I dont have that capability within me. But just made an attempt to thank my IDOL for coming back ,as millions of people have wanted to see him and offcourse PURI SIR for bringing BIG B back as we all had desired to see him...
May GOD bless BIG B and help him to carry on entertaining as he does and also help him to cement the position that he always owned.
