Yesterday I watched SHAMITABH. Though earlier I was doubtful but it is actually a Brilliant movie. Written and directed by R. Balki, the movie has major star cast of Amitabh Bacchan , Dhanush and Akshara Hassan. Akshara is Shruti Hassan's younger sister and Shamitabh is her debut film. Her acting is superb, I bet no one can say that its her debut movie.
The movie has simple yet intricate plot. It is the story of two people's Ego clash. Danish (Dhanush), who is a Marathi and dumb by birth, wants to become an actor in Bollywood. After many struggles , Akshara, who is an assistant director, happens to see him and after recognizes his talent, tries to bring him in the knowledge of her boss. But because he is a voiceless fellow, his talent is barred. Just in the moment, they get to know about a technology which may help Danish , all they have to do is find a good voice which can suit on Danish 's personality.
Here comes Amitabh Sinha in the picture. His voice is powerful and perfect for a hero. They offer him to become the voice of Dhanush on screen. He laughs out loud.... Amitabh says- jis aawaaz ko directors ne to kya radio ne bhi reject kar diya , tu usi awaaz se hero banega. A beautiful blend of real story and fiction we see here. When Amitabh agrees to become Danish's voice they make a superhit movie - Lifebuoy. Gradually, both develop Egos and think that the other is nothing. Amitabh, a heavy drinker develops a theory that he is Whisky and Danish is water. Water ko whisky ki jarurat hai, whisky ko water ki nahi. On the other side, Danish thinks he is the actor and Amitabh is a peon- just working for him.Later, they find that both need each other for success.
The end of the movie is a Shock and that's the beauty of the whole movie. Suspense is always a pivotal part of any drama. At the end, you feel like crying. Amitabh's acting leave you speechless.
It is in the end, a literati can construct and deconstruct multiple meanings of the story. The feast for hindi movie lovers is that the story is not typical romantic-action drama or cliche terrorism, it is something different. Undoubtedly, a must watch for Bollywood lovers !
Great review :)
