Filmfare has given best actor award to the God of Hindi Cinema Amithab Bachchan for his outstanding performance in PAA. Many believe that after 60 he has given two of his ever best performances in BLACK and PAA. I wonder what motivates him for this. Love for cinema and by not considering himself larger than life (Being humble self) he call him self student of cinema….
Well I could think of couple of other reasons behind it…… He is the only star from 70 or from the past any generation who had made himself contemporary. Have you ever heard him saying” in Only in my time outstanding films were made “ or “In our time we had great directors” No…..I have heard him saying That”I would like to work with Farhan Akthar or I asked for a job to Karan Johar”. (The God I always benign and humble). In fact he never compared the two era. On the other hand his other colleagues like Vinod Khana, Dharmendra ,Rajesh Khanna have never been able to come out from there glorified past and good old days. His willingness to experiment is also one reason we have seen films like Black and Paa. In 70s scope of experiment was less and directors were not open to different subject. So they made Amithab Bachchan the Angry Young Man which was well suited to the that social scenario .
Though I believe that till now his best performance is in Agnipath .AB Baby would agree with me on this since he also feel that his Paa’s best film is Agni path. I have watched Agni path n no. of times and whenever it comes on TV I just glue with it. I just can’t get enough of Vijay Deena Nath Chouhan . I wondered what made this film so special. This is one of his last films in the Avatar of Angry Young Man. In this film also he has larger than life image but what’s new??? Before also he has performed these kinds of role in films like Deewar,Don etc. So….in Agnipath he has the conviction and confidence that comes with age. In his films of 70 he has adrenaline pumping dialoges from Salim Javed which were delivered with punch by AB so the ratio of quality of dialogue and delivery in creating a scene was 60:40. The dialogue played more important role than delivery but in Agnipath with his conviction and confidence he has given such a delivery that an ordinary dialogue looks like extra ordinary. I think considering that only The very talented Director Mukul Anand experimented with his voice. See…… his proclivity for experimentation …….His style of walking, talking, sitting ,staring ,loving, crying, dying….everything is a class. I think this is the most stylish act portrayed by Bachchan.Though this film belongs to AB the other excellent character is Krishna Iyer YM YA……Mithun Chakrobarty…..with his most energetic performance……For this film Amithabh Bachchan got National Award ……and his best film …….ever…..(I know we can argue on this forever)But don’t forget he is God of Cinema………………n His every film is Gift of God ….. n he will keep surprising you with his gifts ……
Cheers to God n His Gifts …..
