Amitabh Bachchan expresses grief over Rishi Kapoor & Irrfan Khan's death

<p>It was Amitabh Bachchan who broke the news of Rishi Kapoor's death on Thursday morning. But the superstar maintained silence for the rest of the day on social media. He ultimately opened up and wrote a heartfelt tribute on his blog for his old friend and co-star of many years, Rishi Kapoor.<br />
<br />
The 77-year-old actor, alongside the note, shared an illustrational picture of Kapoor playing `Dafli`. The picture is a reference to the late icon`s famous song `Dafli Wale Dafli Baja` from the film `Sargam.`<br />
<br />
Sharing a few lines from his blog post as the caption, Bachchan wrote: "in Memoriam ...I had seen him at his home Deonar Cottage, Chembur, a young energetic, bubbly, mischief in his eyes Chintu, on those rare moments when I was privileged to have been invited to an evening at Raj ji`s house .."<br />
<br />
He recalled about the `confident and determined` walk Kapoor had, which Bachchan never found in anyone else.<br />
"When he spoke his lines, you believed every word of it .. there was never an alternative .. its genuineness was beyond question ..," the lines further read.<br />
<br />
He also wrote about how the late star during the time of his diagnosis and treatment would take it lightly and say, `see you soon, just a routine visit to the hospital .. I`ll be back shortly `<br />
<br />
Bachchan also revealed why he never visited him in the hospital.<br />
<br />
"I never wanted to see distress on his smiling cherubic face...But I am certain .. when he went, he must have gone with a gentle smile."<br />
<br />
The two stalwarts had shared screen space several times, giving many blockbusters to Indian cinema like the iconic `Amar Akbar Anthony`. They were last seen playing father and son in '102 Not Out'.<br />

Amitabh Bachchan explains why he never visited Rishi Kapoor in hospital

Amitabh Bachchan thanks fans for wishes on wife Jaya's birthday

<p>Indian film industries including Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali have all come together, not literally, for a unique short film titled ‘Family’ that gives an important coronavirus message.&nbsp;</p>

<p>‘Family’ features Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra and Diljit Dosanjh from Hindi cinema; Rajinikanth from Tamil cinema; Mohanlal and Mammootty from Malayalam cinema; Chiranjeevi from Telugu cinema; Shiva Rajkumar from Kannada cinema; Prosenjit Chatterjee from Bengali cinema and Sonalee Kulkarni from Marathi cinema. The film has been shot with each actor in their respective homes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The short film starts with Amitabh Bachchan as he looks for his sunglasses. As actors go frantic looking for it, Priyanka hands them down to Big B and asks why he needs them in the first place. Big B responds, “I needed these sunglasses because I do not need them. I am not going to go out of the house for a few days. If it lies around, it will get lost. If it gets lost, you all will have to search for it. Now, why should I trouble you all?” To this, Diljit and Ranbir can be seen doing facepalm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the end of the film, Amitabh has a message for his fans: “We all made this film together but none of us stepped out of our respective houses. Every artist shot their own section in their own house. No one stepped out of his or her house. You, too, please stay indoors. That is the only way to keep yourself safe from this dangerous coronavirus. Stay home, stay safe.”</p>

But there is another large family behind us which supports us and works with us, and that is our workers and daily wage earners, who are facing great difficulty due to the lockdown. We all have come together and teamed up with sponsors and TV channel to raise a fund. This fund will be distributed to our workers and daily wage earners to provide them some relief in these tough times,” he added.</p>

As actors go frantic looking for it, Priyanka hands them down to Big B and asks why he needs them in the first place. Big B responds, “I needed these sunglasses because I do not need them. I am not going to go out of the house for a few days. If it lies around, it will get lost. If it gets lost, you all will have to search for it. Now, why should I trouble you all?” To this, Diljit and Ranbir can be seen doing facepalm.

The Indian film industry is one, we are all one family. But there is another large family behind us which supports us and works with us, and that is our workers and daily wage earners, who are facing great difficulty due to the lockdown. We all have come together and teamed up with sponsors and TV channel to raise a fund. This fund will be distributed to our workers and daily wage earners to provide them some relief in these tough times,” he added.

<p>The post read, "When the world was wavering! Hindustan was shining! Today's picture is telling this.” He claimed that India looked like that in the picture from those 9 minutes when everyone shut their light and lit up diyas and candles.&nbsp;</p>

Furthermore, monetary help has also been extended to those in need," the statement further said. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The time period of this initiative is not clear, yet. In fact, Big B is not the only one. Producers guild too has been providing ration to daily wage earners. Several technicians on film sets are paid on per day basis and due to the lockdown, their incomes have been deeply affected.<br />
<br />

Amitabh Bachchan wants to delete year 2020, says ‘it has a virus’

<p>A day after India observed Janta curfew, superstar Amitabh Bachchan took to Twitter to share an 'opinion' which seemed like a message that has been doing the rounds of whats app.<br />
<br />
Big B cited that the Janta Curfew that was initiated by PM Modi was strategically planned as March 22 was Amavasya -the lunar phase of a New moon and considered inauspicious by the Hindus.<br />
<br />
In his tweet, Big B stated that since March 22 was the darkest day of the month, all bacteria and virus force was at its peak. The solution, according to Big B's tweeted, was to clap and create vibrations to reduce the potency of the deadly virus.<br />
<br />
Big B's tweet read, "AN OPINION GIVEN:5 pm; 22nd Mar, “amavasya” , darkest day of month; virus, bacteria evil force at max potential &amp; power ! Clapping shankh vibrations reduce/ destroy virus potency Moon passing to new ‘nakshatra’ Revati. Cumulative vibration betters blood circulation."<br />

Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and other B-Town celebs greet nation on Republic Day

<p>One would think the year 2018 would end with a bang in cinema. The year saw some incredible cinema from smaller producers and gave rise to numerous new stars -who with their sheer talent and good cinema, carved their own space in Bollywood this year. When newere actors, directors are churning out such amazing content, expectations from superstars like Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan and a banner like Yash Raj Films would naturally double up. They have in the past- individually- delivered some fantastic cinema, so when these three prominent forces of Bollywood team- up for a film, one would expect nothing but the best. But 'Thugs Of Hindostan'- 2018's big Diwali release is utterly disappointing leaving the audience with a migraine in its 2 hours 44 minutes run time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Based on &nbsp;Philip Meadows Taylor's book 'Confession of Thug', the film merges a revenge saga with the fight for freedom from the British in late 18th century India. &nbsp;After the British murder her parents, a young Zafira(Fatima Sana Shaikh) is raised by her father's most trusted aid Khudabaksh Azaad( Big B). Zafira is a princess of sorts of a kingdom whose king has been murdered along with his kin by the British who now rule the kingdom. Zafira, since then has been on the run and trained by a thug/ pirate Khudabaksh who, with his army, often plunders, loots British ships and convoys ever so often. Naturally, Zahira, as Azaad's chief commander has been trained well in archery and sword fighting. Together as a team, they are unbeatable and a pain for the British. The Brits then hire Firangi (Aamir Khan channelising his inner Jack Sparrow in this one) to get them Azaad and his army. Firangi is a con man of sorts, who just works for money and doesn't really belong to any camp. Firangi does manage to infiltrate Azaad's den and even manages to win his trust even though Zafira isn't too convinced about the new member in their band.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now a film on pirates and their adventure ideally should be a thrilling ride. There is so much to look forward to such films. But director Vijay Krishna Acharya's film is far from it. A long drawn saga of seeking revenge with over the top background music, silly dialogues and a predictable story makes 'Thugs of Hindostan' an overbearing, torturous ride.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Considering the fact that this is perhaps YRF's most expensive film till date, it is alarming to see so much money getting wasted on a film that struggles to stay afloat. It is long, the VFX is amateur, stunts are unrealistic(no one jumps, everyone does backflips instead) &nbsp;and the songs are forgettable. There is Katrina Kaif - in a role that seems so unnecessary- dancing in the most obscure outfits to the most impractical steps choreographed by none other than Prabhudeva. She wears a pair of silver shorts in one song, and a thigh-high slit ghagra in another- fashion trends that never existed in the 18th century - and does the twist in one song.&nbsp;<br />
Basically, her character Suraiya is ahead of her times considering her dance steps and costumes became a rage several hundred years later.&nbsp;</p>

One would think the year 2018 would end with a bang in cinema. The year saw some incredible cinema from smaller producers and gave rise to numerous new stars -who with their sheer talent and good cinema, carved their own space in Bollywood this year.

One would think the year 2018 would end with a bang in cinema. The year saw some incredible cinema from smaller producers and gave rise to numerous new stars -who with their sheer talent and good cinema, carved their own space in Bollywood this year. When newere actors, directors are churning out such amazing content, expectations from superstars like Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan and a banner like Yash Raj Films would naturally double up. They have in the past- individually- delivered some fantastic cinema, so when these three prominent forces of Bollywood team- up for a film, one would expect nothing but the best. But 'Thugs Of Hindostan'- 2018's big Diwali release is utterly disappointing leaving the audience with a migraine in its 2 hours 44 minutes run time. Based on Philip Meadows Taylor's book 'Confession of Thug', the film merges a revenge saga with the fight for freedom from the British in late 18th century India. After the British murder her parents, a young Zafira(Fatima Sana Shaikh) is raised by her father's most trusted aid Khudabaksh Azaad( Big B). Zafira is a princess of sorts of a kingdom whose king has been murdered along with his kin by the British who now rule the kingdom. Zafira, since then has been on the run and trained by a thug/ pirate Khudabaksh who, with his army, often plunders, loots British ships and convoys ever so often. Naturally, Zahira, as Azaad's chief commander has been trained well in archery and sword fighting. Together as a team, they are unbeatable and a pain for the British. The Brits then hire Firangi (Aamir Khan channelising his inner Jack Sparrow in this one) to get them Azaad and his army. Firangi is a con man of sorts, who just works for money and doesn't really belong to any camp. Firangi does manage to infiltrate Azaad's den and even manages to win his trust even though Zafira isn't too convinced about the new member in their band. Now a film on pirates and their adventure ideally should be a thrilling ride. There is so much to look forward to such films. But director Vijay Krishna Acharya's film is far from it. A long drawn saga of seeking revenge with over the top background music, silly dialogues and a predictable story makes 'Thugs of Hindostan' an overbearing, torturous ride. Considering the fact that this is perhaps YRF's most expensive film till date, it is alarming to see so much money getting wasted on a film that struggles to stay afloat. It is long, the VFX is amateur, stunts are unrealistic(no one jumps, everyone does backflips instead) and the songs are forgettable. There is Katrina Kaif - in a role that seems so unnecessary- dancing in the most obscure outfits to the most impractical steps choreographed by none other than Prabhudeva.

'Thugs Of Hindostan' review: Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan's latest is unacceptable

<p>Sujoy Ghosh's best work till date, 'Kahaani' till date serves as a textbook example of how a thriller should be. It should ideally keep the viewers hooked till the end and the ultimate ending should rattle you a bit- something that the viewers would not be able to guess. His latest, 'Badla' may not tick all boxes of a perfect whodunnit, but nevertheless keeps you engaged till the end.</p>

<p>The plot is pretty simple. Young business tycoon Naina Sethi finds herself locked in a hotel room with a dead body of her lover Arjun lying in the bathroom. The police naturally think she has murdered him and she needs a good lawyer to get her out of the mess. She meets advocate Badal Gupta, an expert in his field who wants Naina to tell him the truth in order to save her. Over a course of two hours, Badal and Naina sit across each other at the former's dining room as she narrates how she was having affair on the sly and how she is innocent. But who has then killed Arjun? Is Naina telling the truth and is there more to the story than what she is saying?</p>

<p>An official adaptation of the Spanish classic&nbsp; 'The Invisible Guest', the film's narrative keeps going back and forth. Most of the plot is narrated in flashback and Ghosh, who also serves as the screenplay writer of the film, keeps the audience hooked with numerous plot twists. A lot of things are not what they seem to appear and the constant verbal exchange between Bachchan and Pannu keeps one engaged.</p>

<p>The two actors deliver formidable performances. Each matching the other with sharpness and wit. Bachchan, of course, swells in his part as always and its a delight to watch him play the sharp advocate who doesn't want to miss the minutest details even. Pannu, who has shared the screen space with Big B in 'Pink' before, delivers a credible performance for the greater p[art of the film. I wish though she had shown more sharpness- a quality that's attributed to her character Naina. Naina is somewhat cold and a bit self-centered- qualities that don't come out prominently in Pannu's performance too clearly. The other actor who shines immensely in her role is Amrita Singh who returns to screen nearly after two years. Singh infuses just the right amount of charm and vulnerability to her character and its a delight to watch her perform. She should definitely be doing more films!</p>

<p>The cat-and-mouse chase though wears off a bit by the end. If you like whodunnits and have watched innumerable suspense thrillers in your life, you may be able to predict the end, as I did.</p>

<p>The film is shot mostly in shades of grey by cinematographer Avik Mukhopadhyay which sets the tone of the narrative well.</p>

<p>'Badla' makes for a decent watch. Its twists and turns are far more thrilling than the actual plot itself. The performances by the main actors somewhat make up for the predictability in the second half.</p>
