Dostana, Bol Bachhan, and
Happy New Year. Do you find something common between these bollywood movies?
Yes, Abhishek Bachchan. Let’s try again, and find another common feature. Yes, they all are hit films. Okay one more time. Yes, they
are comedy films.
After watching these films, I
wondered why Abhishek Bachchan, still struggling to shape a successful career,
doesn’t switch to comedy films. The only thing he could do nicely, I think.
And it’s not unusual. Many
actors have chosen this genre and became successful.
Utpal Dutt: His sense of
comedy was tingling but do you know he played villain earlier.
Govinda: Unanimously, one of the most popular comedians
of Indian cinema But, comedy was not his first catch. It feels odd watching him
fighting and delivering hefty dialogues with flaring nose. But that’s not him.
It seems that he is born to make people laugh.
Arshad Varsi: One fine day, I
accidently watch a movie called “Mujhe Meri Biwi Se Bachao”. This film went
unnoticed but Arshad Warsi’s performance made me think “Why doesn’t he try
comedy?”
Paresh Rawal: He had won
National awards for his performance in movies Sir and Wo Chhokri. Few not-so-memorable
negative characters, and then switched to comic roles. Who can forget babu bhai
in Hera Pheri?
Ritesh Deshmukh: I remember
that I was furious when I heard Ritesh Deshmukh winning the award of best
comedian for movie Masti. But don’t you think he is really funny?
Jaya Bhaduri Bachchan, might
have called ‘Happy New Year’ a nonsensical film (And, of course it is) but this film added
a much needed feather in Abhishek Bachchan’s career. He did succeed while doing
some interesting character like Lalan in Yuva. This character also had certain amount of humour and quirk.
I was hoping that Abhishek
Bachchan will be seen in Dostana part 2, but he doesn’t seem to reprise his
role in this movie while John Abraham is still there.
Abhishek Bachchan is the least
successful actor in his family. Now it’s high time he should try and take his
career a little higher. In my opinion, he can do this with comedy films. It’s
his forte. Do you remember his cameo in a successful film like Salaam Namaste?
He even won awards for best comedian for films Dostana and Bol Bachchan. And,
most importantly, what he has to lose, anyway? It’s all about sense and
ability!
And, just wondering why Abhishek Bachchan is looking like an guest artist in his upcoming movie "All Is Well? As if not enjoying his work.
