What a performance by Amitabh bachchan. Its very rare that an actor rises above the script, direction and every other aspect of the film. Thats what Amitabh has done here. His screen presence, the dialogues, expressions, the style...Simply brilliant. NO one and i mean no one (including Al pacinos and De neros) can do something like this. After watching this film i have no doubts....Amitabh is the star of the millenium, he is THE BEST, PERIOD.
