Amitabh:Gangster Group

[darkcolour]

I want to talk about a very over publicized self-prominent super star of Indian Cinema who proclaims himself to be the star of the millennium. But nobody other than Indians has ever even heard of him. Contrary to the Mithun, Sharukh Khan, and Aamir khan who are well known in the western hemisphere because of their artistic achievement like Mrigaya, Swades, and Lagaan. But Amitabh has not made a single movie, which has ever been recognised as a classic on the international stage unlike Titli, Devdas, and Rande Basanti (both are bafta nominated), and Titli was internationally awarded. But the Indian media insist on portraying him as the face of Bollwyood, which he is not either artistically or commercially.

Artistically Dilip Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, Ashok Kumar, and Aamir Khan are much better actors than him. Commercially mediocre actor Sharukh Khan is biggest name in India cinema at the moment who can make a hit out of even a third rate televevison programme KBC. So where does Amitabh Bachchan figure in the current stage of Indian cinema? Is a question I would like to ask the critics? The last 10 movies he has made have all been artistically commercially disaster starting from Ajnabee to Nisahbd.

The worst ever performance by an Indian super star in a movie was given by Amitabh as demented delusional man that he has become in real life in the Darna Zaroori Hai which is one of the worst films ever made in the world. Even the third rate porn movies made in India are better than his latest movie Nishabd which is a essensually as soft pornographic self indulgence by a man suffering from delusion of grandeur in his days.

Even Ek Lavya is one of the biggest artistic and commercial disasters ever made.

As far as for his past he made worthwhile cinema in the early 70s with Hrishkesh Mukherji and Prakash Mehra and also Dulal Guha. But all his movies are with Multi-starrers where he is most of the time playing supporting actor like Sholay and Kabhie Kabhie where Dharamendra and Shashi Kapoor have made mince meat of him as did Vinod Khanna in Mukadder ka sikander.

He could not even touch Rajesh Khanna in Anand or Namak Haram, much less Dilip Sab in Shakti where he is totally made to look like and amateur iin front of ths great thespian.

He made his come back after flopping badly in late 80with every bad movies like Ajooba, Mard, toofan, Naasti and Girafter which were total commercial and artistic failure.


His first decent movie was Agneepath with Mithun Chakraborty where Mithun is much better than him, but he had already spread the lie about Chakraborty being a poor man Amitabh to sabotage the great Bengali actor image. This was done by his media buddies because of the power of politics in Bollywood.

Amitabh blessed by having a very prominent family background with political connection with the mighty Gandhi family who helped him first 20 movies badly flopped up to Zanjeer. His father Harivansh Rai Bachchan was Indiras Gandhis closest friend and his casting in Saath Hindustani was done by Ahmed Khawaja Abbas(Shahid kapoor grand father) on a letter of recommendation from Mrs Indira Gandhi. But Mithun Chakraborty has never had that privileged of being touted by political or Bollywood power houses like Yash Raj or Sippys films who were responsible for giving Amitabh his super status.

The recent circumstances and scandal surrounding the Bachchans family including Mr Abhishek Bachchan forced stardom, which is secondary to the media hyped induced by his father and the scandalised behaviour with Mr Amar Singh and the controversial wedding has left half of the India totally antagonised by his unfriendly behaviour. This by itself reflects his shallow personality and character compared to other great Bollwyood legend like Ashok Kumar and Dilip kumar. I would want to draw you attention the fact that role model award given to Mithun Chakraborty in the presence of Amitabh Bachchan sitting on the function totally flabbergasted by the event which showed on the facial expressions of Mr Bachchan and Mrs Rai.

I wonder how Amitabh Bachchan managed to convince the jury to give him best national actor award for Black in preference to Mithun Chakraborty’s Kaalpurush. When the only good performance in Black by the child artist. He’s is also now trying his best to get international recognition by signing movies with Deepa Mehta and Mira Nair but I do not think it is going to help sad un-failed career presently. So basically Mr Bachchan you are now flopped old man who detested by the majority of Indians world wide and it will be good for you to accept it and retire while there is still sometime to save your character and image from total distraction. (Amen)

Guys-this articles its not by me- i tought i want to share it with you all. I always say Amitabh is great actor and always will be-but now he shuld stop doing all thos rubbish movie like Eklavya aag etc...

[Axii]

haw!!!!!! IM FLABERGASTED!

guji ji!!! what do you have to say in response!!! ARE YOU mortified? tell me you are? plz..lol..go on...

[Guji-Ji]

I want to talk about a very over publicized self-prominent super star of Indian Cinema who proclaims himself to be the star of the millennium.

Show me one interview where he has said that.

But nobody other than Indians has ever even heard of him. Contrary to the Mithun, Sharukh Khan, and Aamir khan who are well known in the western hemisphere because of their artistic achievement like Mrigaya, Swades, and Lagaan.

I can guaran-damn-tee that more people know who Amitabh Bachchan is rather than Mithun. Aamir and SRK are debatable.

But Amitabh has not made a single movie, which has ever been recognised as a classic on the international stage unlike Titli, Devdas, and Rande Basanti (both are bafta nominated), and Titli was internationally awarded. But the Indian media insist on portraying him as the face of Bollwyood, which he is not either artistically or commercially.

Amitabh has always said he doesn't make movies to get recognition or to get awards... He makes films because he is an actor.. a script is brought to him.. he likes it.. he makes it... He is not doing it for awards... If he misses out on an award he merely thinks of Dilip Kumar who missed out on Gunga Juman who he regards as Kumar's finest film..

And commercially he isn't? Like I said in the other thread... if Mithun did a world tour would it be as successful? Exactly.

Artistically Dilip Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, Ashok Kumar, and Aamir Khan are much better actors than him.

He has never said he is the best actor in the industry... In fact he calls himself 'mediocre'.

Commercially mediocre actor Sharukh Khan is biggest name in India cinema at the moment who can make a hit out of even a third rate televevison programme KBC. So where does Amitabh Bachchan figure in the current stage of Indian cinema? Is a question I would like to ask the critics? The last 10 movies he has made have all been artistically commercially disaster starting from Ajnabee to Nisahbd.

Yes he hasn't had the best last few years commercially but still directors want him... still he is getting new and interesting roles.. tells you something don't it?

The worst ever performance by an Indian super star in a movie was given by Amitabh as demented delusional man that he has become in real life in the Darna Zaroori Hai which is one of the worst films ever made in the world.

That bit sounds like it was written by a 3 year old.

Even the third rate porn movies made in India are better than his latest movie Nishabd which is a essensually as soft pornographic self indulgence by a man suffering from delusion of grandeur in his days.

I ain't seen Nishabd so I won't comment on it. It did get good critical praise though.

Even Ek Lavya is one of the biggest artistic and commercial disasters ever made.

Not really... I thought it was brilliant and reviews were brilliant.

As far as for his past he made worthwhile cinema in the early 70s with Hrishkesh Mukherji and Prakash Mehra and also Dulal Guha. But all his movies are with Multi-starrers where he is most of the time playing supporting actor like Sholay and Kabhie Kabhie where Dharamendra and Shashi Kapoor have made mince meat of him as did Vinod Khanna in Mukadder ka sikander.
He could not even touch Rajesh Khanna in Anand or Namak Haram, much less Dilip Sab in Shakti where he is totally made to look like and amateur iin front of ths great thespian.

Lol one of the most deluded peices of writing i've ever read that doesn't even warrant a reply but i'll give one anyway... have you seen Laawaris, Deewar, Trishul, Majboor, Don, Mr Natwarlal and loaaaads more... does the writer know ANYTHING about Amitabh?


He made his come back after flopping badly in late 80with every bad movies like Ajooba, Mard, toofan, Naasti and Girafter which were total commercial and artistic failure.

Everyone has bad patches...

His first decent movie was Agneepath with Mithun Chakraborty where Mithun is much better than him, but he had already spread the lie about Chakraborty being a poor man Amitabh to sabotage the great Bengali actor image. This was done by his media buddies because of the power of politics in Bollywood.

Huh? First I've heard of it...

Amitabh blessed by having a very prominent family background with political connection with the mighty Gandhi family who helped him first 20 movies badly flopped up to Zanjeer. His father Harivansh Rai Bachchan was Indiras Gandhis closest friend and his casting in Saath Hindustani was done by Ahmed Khawaja Abbas(Shahid kapoor grand father) on a letter of recommendation from Mrs Indira Gandhi. But Mithun Chakraborty has never had that privileged of being touted by political or Bollywood power houses like Yash Raj or Sippys films who were responsible for giving Amitabh his super status.

Yes Amitabh had connections but don't most Bollywood stars? Amitabh didn't get into Saat Hindustani through a letter of recommendation... the man who was supposed to play his role pulled out to be an assistant director on another film and Amitabh took his place.

The recent circumstances and scandal surrounding the Bachchans family including Mr Abhishek Bachchan forced stardom, which is secondary to the media hyped induced by his father and the scandalised behaviour with Mr Amar Singh and the controversial wedding has left half of the India totally antagonised by his unfriendly behaviour. This by itself reflects his shallow personality and character compared to other great Bollwyood legend like Ashok Kumar and Dilip kumar.

Abhishek Bachchan forced stardom? For years Amitabh never spoke to the media about Abhishek because he wanted him to become big in the industry on his own... In fact first time he really praised Abhishek was after Guru... 8 years after the son had entered the industry...

The writer of this article speaks a lot without any real truth..

I would want to draw you attention the fact that role model award given to Mithun Chakraborty in the presence of Amitabh Bachchan sitting on the function totally flabbergasted by the event which showed on the facial expressions of Mr Bachchan and Mrs Rai.

wtf...

I wonder how Amitabh Bachchan managed to convince the jury to give him best national actor award for Black in preference to Mithun Chakraborty’s Kaalpurush. When the only good performance in Black by the child artist. He’s is also now trying his best to get international recognition by signing movies with Deepa Mehta and Mira Nair but I do not think it is going to help sad un-failed career presently. So basically Mr Bachchan you are now flopped old man who detested by the majority of Indians world wide and it will be good for you to accept it and retire while there is still sometime to save your character and image from total distraction. (Amen)

Detested? He is still loved and adored by millions... More than Mithun or any actor ever will be...

I finish my reply by saying that through the last few years of watching and reading about Bollywood there have only been 3 actors I think that have been recognised world wide in the history of Bollywood. They are Raj Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan.

They have been many other superstars but only them 3 I would consider the super giants of Bollywood.
