It is said that greatness is never a thrust on you. You are either born with it or you are not. Amitabh Bachchan today stands at a place where anything and everything that he does surprises us.In the last lear,Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of Harish Mishra aka Harry, a theatre actor hailing from the Shakespearean school of thought. Moody like the English weather, he expects everyone to be well-versed with A Midsummer Night's Dream and recognise it's the Tempest that he lovingly quotes.Like an actor in play, he's always a different person at different hours of the day. At times, he transforms into a gallant knight in a grand battle. On other occasions, you can hardly tell him apart from an eight-year old petulant child languishing to have his way. Occasionally, he is eerily quiet only to unexpectedly bark at a mindless passerby peeing on his walls. His penchant for drama reflects in the unkempt white tresses dominating his wrinkled countenance as well his choice of clothing, ranging from kimono robes to Egyptian galabeyas. He is a legend of his own making. Amitabh Bachchan essays this startling personality with awe-inspiring ardor. The Last Lear is only about Harry, how he is persuaded to act in a film and his concealed regrets.And Amitabh Bachchan as Harry has done a brilliant job.It is a movie to be watched out for simply because of his brilliance.
