Abhishek thinks Big B’s acting in 'Nishabd' better than 'Black'

Amitabh Bachchan has once again surprised his fans with his superb performance in Nishabd .

Bachchan’s performance in Ram Goal Varma ’s film is very unconventional by Bollywood standards. He has no punchy dialogues, no long monologues and no passion-filled spiels. Big B’s character in the film is very realistic and so is his performance.

Terse dialogues are punctuated by long silences in which camera lingers on Bachchan’s facial expressions. Just by a single expression, Big B brings out a series of thoughts his character may be going through. It is a performance of great control and equanimity.

Abhishek Bachchan , who had some apprehensions about the movie when he saw the rushes months back, was reportedly moved to tears by Big B’s performance after a special screening of the film last week.

So much that Abhi thinks his dad’s performance in ‘Nishabd’ is better than in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black .

“He (Abhishek) feels my performance in Nishabd is better than Black. Abhishek made an interesting observation. He said I had huge props in Black. In Nishabd I performed without any,” Mr. Bachchan is quoted as saying by a Mumbai-based tabloid.

Abhishek was not the only one. Even filmmaker Ravi Chopra was deeply moved after watching the film.

The pleasant surprise for Abhishek Bachchan

Mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan gave his son Abhishek Bachchan a pleasant surprise on his birthday on Monday.

Bachchan surprised Abhishek with a Rs 1.7 crore white Bentley car as a gift.

Abhishek’s lady love the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai , who was unable to go to Bikaner to usher in the birthday, was present at the Chhatrapati Shivaji airport with a bouquet to greet him on his arrival in Mumbai.

Abhishek later went for a drive in the new car with Ash and soon after drove back to the Bachchan residence in suburban Juhu.

Ash's gift, if any besides a bouquet, remains a guarded secret.

"Her gift to Abhishek is too personal and confidential," Ash's secretary Hari Singh said.

Earlier, Bachchan along with Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh flew to Junagarh Fort in Rajasthan where Abhishek was shooting his forthcoming film Drona , to cut the birthday cake at midnight.

"I have been coming to Rajasthan on and off for various reasons. This time, however, I am here to celebrate Abhishek's birthday," Bachchan told reporters at Nall airport.

After getting off the chartered flight from Mumbai, Bachchan went directly to the hotel where his son and other members of the crew were staying, and spent the rest of the day watching the film shoot, the sources said.

The local fan club had made a beeline at the airport on hearing that the megastar was coming.

Jaya Bachchan and Ash could not join them there but were able to meet Abhishek as he returned to Mumbai by evening.

When asked about why Ash did not join Abhishek at Junagarh on the 'D' day, Singh refused to comment saying it was a personal matter.
