The Last Lear

Being a Bengali,i love watching Bengali movies but watching Amitabh Bachchan in an English movie is a treat.And one more thing which attract me towards this movie The Last Lear is Priety Zinta.The way she dressed,her makeup,she carries herself beautifully.I find her very beautiful in saaries with a big bindi on her forehead. She looks so beautiful in the movie,the funniest thing is i used to copy her most of the time but can't look exactly like her.For me,she is the most beautiful actress in our bollywood.The movie is based on Shakespeare's play,the way Rituparno explains the story of Harish played by Amitabh Bachchan is just mind blowing.All must watch the movie,the movie can't be missed.

The Last Lear is a movie that would be remembered for its excellent and brilliant acting by stars and other is its storyline.I really like the plays of Shakespeare and this is the first time i have seen the movie based on his play,an art movie.I have seen all the movies given by Arindam Chaudhuri's Planman Productions and this is perhaps their best movie.Apart from this,planman production always came up with brilliant star cast and this time they have taken the great Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.Not only him,all the other star cast priety zinta,Arjun Rampal and others all were very nice in the movie.But the way Amitabh Bachchan plays his role is incredible.It's great to see him playing any role with such an ease.Other actors like Arjun Rampal,Shefali Shah are superb as well.It is one of the best multi starrer film of its type that I have seen in Bollywood!

The Last Lear is a very special film for cinema lovers.What makes the film so special is the coming together of director Rituparno Ghosh and the legendary Amitabh Bachchan along with Preity Zinta,Arjun Rampal and Shefali Shah. No doubt the film is really good as could be seen during its world premiere at Toronto International film festival,where it received tremendous reception and was highly appreciated.Amitabh Bachchan who plays the role of Harish,a Shakespeare age stage actor is brilliant in the film.This could be said to be his best performance till date.All the stars in the film,be it Preity Zinta,Arjun Rampal or Shefali Shah,are exceptionally good in the film. People should see the film to see Amitabh Bachchan's brilliance.He is simply awesome and with each of his movies shows a completely new face of his acting skills.The last lear is an outstanding film by Rituparno Ghosh supported brilliantly by his actors.

The Last Lear is a very intelligently and well-made movie. Shakespearean dialogs and references are used cleverly. Amitabh Bachchan is mesmerizing. Once again, he defeats his toughest competition--himself. He improves noticeably with each and every film. As his character demands, Amitabh gives a performance full of passion and vigor. Each scene is very nicely executed making it a pleasure to watch be it when the three women are dealing with their frustrations in the middle of the night or when Amitabh and Arjun are trying to stop people from urinating in public areas. The emotions are beautifully relayed across the screen. Shefali Shah is also fantastic. I'm not an avid reader by any stretch of imagination, but I enjoyed this one. However, those who are put off by art cinema might not fancy this flick.

It is a move made in english language, very uncommon for the big star Indian directors. Yes, even though making art films till his death, Ghosh was a very much celebrated star by then. You will understand this from the lead of this movie based on Utpal Dutt's semi-autobiographical play 'Ajker Shahjahan'; the Amitabh Bachchan. It also featured a cool ensemble from bollywood - Preity Zinta, Arjun Rajpal, Divya Dutta and Shefali Shah - who were actually playing the non-lead counterparts of Shakespeare's 'King Lear'. Just came to my mind, this movie is even more enjoyable now where the ageing, narcissistic actor is showing tantrum to the new age director whose views are not understood by the old man.
