Today, finally we had the opportunity to see the movie at Fremont, California in Century 22. We had a group of 10 folks and all enjoyed throughout. One/two folks felt that ending could have been little better.The theatre had about 150-160 people on 6.55pm show. I am not going to write a long review as I am not a film critic. I go and enjoy the movie if it's good. If it's not a good movie then I keep away except Big B movie. But I never saw Boom!! Coming to the point:
My Personal and our Groups Rating: ****. Personally it is a VERY GOOD movie, if not great!!
1. There has been a long debate and view that AB has not big enough role. It totally incorrect. Big B has scene presence almost every scene except one/two in the 2nd Half.
2. There are several scenes where Big B is unmarthed and I am sure he should get a few awards. Some of the scenes I could immediately recall which gives long remembrance.
-- When the School Student comes to meet him to the Stage, he falls down
-- Last meesage after he is shot by CRPF
-- When he goes to the site of the accident place of his son
-- When Ajay Devgan comes to meet Big B to his bed room
-- WHen BIg B comes to console his daughter-in-law
-- Ajay Devgan's realization after the death of his friend and Big B silently keep watching the scene
There are so many such scenes where you feel that WHAT AN ACTOR IS AMITABH BACHCHAN!! I know everybody in this forum has no doubt about his acting capability but the debate is the type of role. Agreed, he should do more SARKAR type of roles but in no way I feels that such role is inferior by any standard or means. We all know he should choose his script. But where is the script? If he has such good script then why will he deny such role? Obviously, he can't write his own script but then it has to come from some source. I personally would like to see him whenever and wherever he has a good role. And SATYAGRAHA is ONE OF THAT. His acting is SIMPLY BRILLIANT. Others actors have done their job too, though I feel Ajay Devgan could have been better. After all it a FANTASTIC MOVIE and I personally along with the group enjoyed a lot with popcorn and coke.
