    Go to any country ,meet an average age person to the elder ones and just call Amitabh Bhachan name trust me there will be a reaction….!!!

  • i expected a detailed article of his hits, superhits all ..but u just did a formality..kahe ki trade site ho..everyone know what u have written

  • Ok, great feat! But he has not been that much active since 2000 after making a comeback (Mohabbatein, KBC). Not much movies, some of his movies for whom he won awards, he did not deserved those awards, (I loved him in Mohabbatein, Khakee, Aankhein, Baghban, Black, KBC, these Piku, Pik are okayish role & did not deserve awards) there were better contenders. What’s more, there is no 100 crore movies from his side (solo), he has a set target audience, but he does not command huge box office numbers, it’s a great thing that he is still acting when compared to his era of actors (high payments not withstanding).

    I requested to all of U please finding or creating a list for memorable movies of BIG B…………

  • He has been excellence personified from his very 1st meaningful role to his latest (but not last) n we all pray he carries on playing characters to the best of his ability for he is bollywoods equivalent to Hollywoods Clint Eastwood…!

  • Growing up in the 90s where Anil Kapoor, Sunny Deol n Govinda I never truly appreciated Big Bs exploits from the 70s but I request everyone if you can then watch any one of the following movies like Deewar, Sholay, Naseeb, Roti Kapda Aur Makaan, Zanjeer etc etc to truly appreciate why we now call Amit ji the GOAT (Greatest Off All Time)

  • @10:26pm

    Dont be so hateful as we know you deliberately nodded for muslim actors over the Hindu actor (Amit ji) but if you didnt do so then fair enough my bad.

    Still to counter your arguement everyone knows Amit ji excelled in all types of roles but in comedy alone he delivered many magical performances inc 1 of my fav scenes from COOLIE when he was trying to cook an omelette when listening to a radio cooking /fitness exercise show…! Not just that but he also had excellent chemistry with many other top actors in his era in multistarrer movies which sadly todays gen of actors opt against so we cant truly compare the greatness of todays actors against their rivals. In Big Bs era he made onscreen magic with so many actors like Shatrugan Sinha, Rishi Kapoor n Shashi Kapoor etc etc

    This showed he was comfortable in any role inc not being in the lead role as he just show cased his acting might n made us all marvel at his brilliance…!

    The man is the best EVER ahead of the rest. End of debate

  • @Syed : Just like SRK’s career started with DDLJ in Maratha Mandir and ended with Maratha battle with BRM in Christmas 2015 ??? Kuch toh seniority ka lihaaz kar, he is a legend. Even if your haklu takes 10 births he wont come near the real legend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My first and childhood hero. I used to cry when his character dies in movies. Watched Sholay, Muqaddar ka Sikandar numerous times on VCR/Video cassette and cried numerous times. Salute to you Big B – Sir Amitabh Bachhan !!!!!!!!
