The Last Lear – Amitabh Bachchan

The premier of Rituparno Ghosh’s ‘The Last Lear‘ at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival was held on sunday. The film was received positively by critics with many saying that Bachchan has given a career best performance.

As the most revered movie star, Amitabh Bachchan can take his pick of roles. But never before has he played a character like this. Commanding the screen as a legendary stage actor making a movie for the first time, this giant of Indian cinema, playing his first-ever English-language lead role, reveals surprising new dimensions. For a star who has acted in more than 130 films over four decades, this is no small feat.

The movie also stars Arjun Rampal and Preity Zinta in pivotal roles.

Here are few stills that were taken at the premier, and few stills of the movie itself :
