A simple paraphrase of the title of the subject will read as follows: the importance of being Amitabh Bachchan in the film industry. Just as spectators crowd cricket stadia to witness Sachin Tendulkar's play, people crowd picture palaces to see their favorite actor- The Legendary Bachchan. "What's in the name?" This Shakespearean quote immediately comes to one's mind. And if you repeat the same question to film fans, producers, magazines, they will answer in one voice- there is everything in the name Amitabh Bachchan. Perhaps one cannot hold the film scribes guilty of resorting to hyperbole if they draw his profile in the choicest adjectives, against this background.
Hindi film industry , over the last hundred years, boasts of several Actors who had their unique personal style of acting to lift their films to lofty heights of success. Balraj Shahni, Prithviraj kapoor were brilliant. Devanad and Raj kapoor had the flair to play any role. Dilip Kumar was a tragedy king. Shammi kapoor dancing sensation. Rajendra kumaar the Jubilee kumar. Dharmendra the He Man. Rajesh Khanna bewitched cinegoers with his style and effortless acting. Sanjeev kumar 's ability to play the role allotted to perfection was admirable . Nasiruddin shah and Ompuri are known for natural acting. And in the nineties the rise of self proclaimed Badshah's , Ekka's , Dabanngs , too, had their flair but the truth of the matter is that no one could match the Charisma of Mr. Bachchan. He was also known as one man industry and he still is Vishma Pitamah of hindi film industry.
Bachchan played a very important role in the rise of the Khan's in the nineties. He took five years retirement from films after the huge success of "Khuda Gawah" which paved the way for Khan's to establish themselves in the film industry as Bachchan had left huge void and the industry was in doldrums. To their credit Khan's grabbed the opportunity and rose to the occasion but this fact cannot be undermined that this was all due to Bachchan's absence.
Bachchan magic works. And he has proved this again and again. Recent success of Buddha hoga tera Baap is prime example of this. Pitted against Aamir's big budget "Delhi Belly" film did reasonable business against all odds. Imagine he is nearing 70 and is still playing the lead actor's role with perfection. He has ruled this film industry for 40 years. And slightly altering a Shakespearean quote we can say , 'Oh Amitabh! thy name is Vishma-Pitamah of film industry.
