I H A B ( I hate Amitabh Bacchan)

In the list of celebrities I hate most, I am adding Mr. Amitabh Bacchan. He worked incessantly in last five years or so to achieve this honor. I love him as an actor. His movies in late 70’s and early 80’s were phenomenal. And interestingly, if he gets good director he can still deliver stupendous performance. Sadly currently, it is almost impossible to find good directors. We celebrate pitiable creatures like Karan Johar as great directors. But issue about directors is a digression here.

The reason behind Amitabh Bacchan getting on my nerves is over exposure. He is virtually present in every Hindi movie. Like an omnipotent god! If he is not acting then he always makes sure that he thrusts his voice as a narrator. No matter who is the director or who are the actors, this guy jumps in any wagon, even if that wagon is destined to crash. Recently I saw him in a movie with this kid of 23. That kid was pathetic in every sense and the movie was of perfect garbage quality and it left me wondering why the hell Mr. Amitabh Bacchan is wasting his hard earned glory and reputation in old age. Not only movies but he is ready to market all kinds of products. He is even advertising Emami, a sun-screen lotion. Hello! you grow beard Mr. Bacchan!

People are considered as wise when turn 60. Instead acting like a wise man and bowing out with high honors, or perhaps, pursuing his livelihood with grace, he is behaving like a child, laying hands on everything. Please Mr. Bacchan, don’t make fool of your self.

Also, how on earth he gets roles on so many movies? This dearth of talent in Hindi movies really worries me. The way Hindi film industry is churning out high quality (that means costly) crap for last five years or so justifies Mr. Bacchans presence in the industry or perhaps, vice versa.

dude..earlier..you unleashed your wrath on AISH..i let u go..but now you've moved onto Amitabh!!
And as any fan would behave(irrationaly), I would love to come up with list of traits supporting their demigod status. But I suspect you'd push them aside to be equivocal.

to me these rantings just seem like an attempt to be iconoclastic.

looking foward to more of the IH-So-n-So columns.
