In
this
era
of
hardcore
commercialism,
there
still
remains
a
segment
in
the
film
industry
which
churns
out
classy
movies
that
make
India
proud
at
the
international
level.
We
are
referring
to
The
Planman
Motion
Pictures
whose
Mithya
received
massive
appreciation
and
also
earned
the
distinction
of
being
the
first
success
of
the
year.
Well,
the
banner
has
a
special
bond
with
the
charismatic
and
award
winning
director,
Rituparno
Ghosh
as
his
critically
acclaimed
Dohar
(starring
super
actress
Nandita
Das)
was
produced
by
them.
Strengthening
the
bond
further
and
also
continuing
with
the
trend
of
backing
quality
products,
the
banner
now
gives
the
Indian
audience
a
chance
to
witness
cinema
at
its
best,
with
The
Last
Lear.
Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
plays
a
character
called
Harry,
a
hearty,
eccentric
and
passionate
actor.
Let
us
hear
what
some
of
the
renowned
critics
and
people
related
with
the
industry
have
to
say
about
Bachchan's
performance.
'Yes,
this
film
is
Big
B's
best
till
date',
says
Paula
Ray
(London
Film
Festival).
Cameron
Bailey
(Toronto
Film
Festival
Gala
Premier)
says
"Bachchan
offers
a
master
class
in
acting
in
The
Last
Lear.
Like
Richard
Burton,
Toshiro
Mifune
or
other
larger
than
life
greats,
Bachchan
demands
to
be
watched.'
Says
Pritish
Nandy,
"No
genuine
film
lover
can
afford
to
miss
it
for
Bachchan's
sterling
performance.
This
is
one
of
his
best
ever!'
So,
do
yourself
a
favour
and
watch
Big
B
in
his
(best)
elements
when
The
Last
Lear
hits
the
theatres
on
12th
September.
