From the lipstick toting, tree hugging ,Hindi film heroes of the seventies who sang mournful sings to thier doe eyed heroines, there arose a tall lanky denim clad young man ,with a far away look in his eyes who looked lean mean and hungry in the film Deewar !
I still remember the scene where he bolts the huge shed to thrash the goondah bunches and teeters out to wet his head under a public tap .
Amitabh Bachan had arrived .
Though Zanjeer had come before this I think ,where the bonhomie the young police officer had with that mischivous Pathan rogue Pran ,it didnt make the next chapter like Deewar did .
Though the clean mammas boy Sashi kapoor did win all that brawn and power by a simple statement
Mere paas maa hoon .
Those were days when films taken were imprinted into our cerebral crevices with boiling seals forever .
Amitabh strode like a colosuss to steal the popularity of the most popular superstar Hindi cinema had ever seen, Rajesh khanna ,with his twinkling eyes,where charming giggling girls by the gallon became screaming banshees in his presence .
And then on to becoming the reigning don in so many films that brought tears ,happiness ,and wow ,from the audience for decades ,this one man film industry had no equal to his talent charisma and presence .
People loved him for everything even when he romanced the other woman the dusky temptress Rekha the cleopatra of Hindi filmdom and they even made a film where he enacted the real life role in Silsila with his wife and Woh .
Whether it is the time he was by the side of his friend our former PM shri Rajiv Gandhi ,or as a politician in dusty UP ,or as an anchor doling out crores in prime time TV ,or as a failed buisnessman in the US of A or even when millions had wept for him in a hospital bed in Mumbai ,or as just a floating most famous voice in documentaries he was the winner always .
A life time of talent,charm professionalism,skills,etiquette,grace,style,sauveness,and dignity.
As he moved into seventies and fell into roles like the aged lawyer who fights for the rights of women ,or became the son of his lanky actor son ,and so many more roles .
He still sang danced, emoted ,even loved and floored forever .
He spoke in his baritone voice the most famous in the nation which once was rejected in audition by a foolish AIR ..
Today this colossus is 77 and awaiting the Dada Saheb Palke award for life time achievement and rightly so too .
May I be one of the millions who wish and pray for this great actor and human being AMITABH BACHAN to get long healthy years ahead when he continues to make us happy .
...
wish him the v best
