7 Risky MovieS done by BIG B

We have all come across such movies that create a great impact on us. There are some movies done by Big B which has created a great impression on the audience . We will look forward at 7 such movies where Big B went of his comfort zone and took risk.

1] Aks (2001)


Never did we think we will ever see Big B in a negative role and here he comes in Aks experimenting and taking risk on the reputation he had created among the audience. This was a remake of Face Off, this movie tried to grapple with the thin line between good and evil. The movie marked Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s debut as a director and had Bachchan matching acting chops with Manoj Bajpayee.

2] Boom (2003)

It was aimed to be an out-of-the-box movie that was over-the-top. Unfortunately, it went a bit too far and went on to become a disaster that none of its actors including Katrina Kaif, who made her debut with it would want to remember. The movie saw Bachchan playing an eccentric don, who was dressed in white from head-to-toe.

3] Nishabd (2007)

We stay in a country where such movies are not easily accepted by the society then too Big B took the risk and acted boldly in this movie. Since the Ram Gopal Varma-Amitabh Bachchan combination had worked well in Sarkar, people expected a lot from this movie. A few feathers were ruffled when people realised that this was an adaptation of sorts of Lolita that saw a man leading his daughter into having a relationship.

4] Cheeni Kum (2007)

Cheeni Kum has Bachchan playing 64-year-old Buddhadev Gupta, a celebrated chef, who falls in love with 34-year-old Nina (Tabu). He happens to be older than his girlfriend’s father and that causes friction. The movie also focussed on Bachchan’s relationship with his nine-year-old neighbour Swini, who suffers from cancer.

5] Paa (2009)

This was the movie which was loved and appreciated by everyone. In this Big B played a a boy who has a rare genetic condition known as progeria, while Abhishek was his father who doesnt know of his existence and Vidya Balan played his doting mother. The film, directed by R Balki, was loved by critics and audience alike and won Bachchan his third national Award as the Best Actor.

6] Piku (2015)

Piku saw Bachchan playing father to Deepika Padukone, who had a lot of trouble with his inconsistent, irregular bowel movements. A Shootjit Sircar film, the movie drew out the comedy that we fail to see in the routine of daily life. Bachchan’s brilliant performance won him his fourth National Award this time around.

7] Pink (2016)

This was Bachchan’s last movie outing. Bachchan starred as the fierce, bipolar lawyer Deepak Sehgal, who takes a stand for three women who are wrongly accused by powerful people. The movie was loved by the audience and proved that content-oriented films will always work at the box office.
