ANOTHER CENTURY BY AMITABH, 13 October 1998
10/10
Author: MOHAMMAD AMIR from MANCHESTER, ENGLAND

OH WHAT A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE BY AMITABH, IT SEEMS THAT AMITABH ACTS IN THE FILM MUCH MORE EMOTIONALLY THAN A PERSON IN REAL LIFE. HE MAKES US FEEL AS IF EVERYTHING IS REALLY TRUE.ONCE AGAIN I AM FORCED TO SAY AMITABH'S PERFORMANCE WAS UNMATCHED.HIS VOICE IS THE MAIN FACTOR OF HIS SUCCESS THAT WINS THE HEART OF THE MILLIONS.AND EVEN TODAY IF I WATCH THE FILM AGAIN, MY FEELINGS WOULD BE THE SAME
