Review of Shamitabh- Not everyone's cup of tea.

Release date - 6'th Feb 2015

One Word which describes the film -Thought-provoking


Best Dialogue- Agar paani whiskey ke bina badh sakta hai to socho whiskey bina pani ke kitna chad sakti hai.'
Genre - Drama / Comedy

Music - Ilaiyaraaja


Story & Direction -R. Balki


Budget- 40 crores +P&A

You have to give it to the duo R.Balki and Amitabh Bachchan for being the most experimental pair in Bollywood. After making Bachchan romance a girl half his age in  Cheeni Kum(2007), and then making him play the role of a 12 year old in Paa (2009) the director presents Amitabh as a shabby alcoholic who lives in a graveyard and has a grudge against the society.
Dhanush plays the role of a small town guy who wishes to become a super star.
Akshara who makes his Bollywood debut with this film manages to hold her own in front of the two super stars.
There are catchy one liners like, 'Technology ko Mughle Azam pasand nahi aya kya' and 'Paani Needs Whisky,Whisky Ko Zaroorat Nahi  Kisiki' , but the humor gets lost in the slow and predictable story.
In the film there is a line,'Too classy, masses ko pasand nahi ayegi' holds true for the film too as though the film starts in a good speed after an hour it is reduced to just conversations between the three lead stars.  
In a line if you are a big Bachchan fan you will have to watch the film for his flawless acting and his chemistry with Dhanush.
Time-pass. Can be seen in theaters.
