Both of them are good at what they do and each one has a right to his / her opinion. Aamir was pushed into responding about his take on Black, and he did come out quite honestly, with some of his views like " teaching the bear to dance" in accordance with what i felt too. But Mr. Bachchan, even after all these years of being in the industry, one expected a more mature response from you, but yours is rather impulsive. Not everyone agrees with what you do. Dont forget... u are just a commodity, a person on sale.. i agree with someone who said, if you have a couple of crores with you, you can have him do anything. not entirely false too. and then you havnt given great performances too other than those in Mili, Abhiman, Aalap etc.. all other movies did not require any extra effort at all, and ofcourse you yourself will agree you can't call it acting or performing at all there. grow up mr. bachchan and aamir, dont get carried away so easily.

You are wrong Tapan. It's shame you don't have clue of Amitabh's achievement and his behavior in public. You can only take so much of carp from media, Khans, congress and khan licking media...
Have you ever heard Big B of saying anything annoying about any filammake or any actor? you know bloddy well hoe greddy Aamir is for his movie and will do anything do creat controversy to sell his movie and SRK's acting is like donkeys. Aamir trying to clear his name of his borther's handling by him and his family also with his comments...you know how horrible that is in front of the public and asking indierct sympathy? well read between the lines.

Well steve Aamir has never used media for film hype...he even went against Filmfare (who can dare to do so)... and u are talking of Big B..a small incidence when he finds his untalented son i forgot his name though,not getting the any screen presence in Dhoom:2 started going against Hrithik for a simple lip-lock in the film and cried vulgur when he himself and his son have done many more n such suggestive things ...so stop arguing...its all about different views of different people..

Yes I agree, when Abhishek got cold shrugs in Dhoom 2, the Bachchans went gaga against Hrithik...when the truth is Hrithik was far better than so called Chhota B. Similarly Rani was not invited to Abhishek's marriage! And the worst was with Shahrukh for KBC. Senior B should accept that nobody was really enthusiastic abt KBC 2, so it got shelved and Shahrukh did better in 3rd installment. I cant really understand what the Bachchans think of themselves

KBC was a flop and the TAM ratings proved it. STAR ended the year with a drop in revenue and lost the prime architects of KBC( Peter and Sameer). Now they are probably regretting replacing the TV God with a monkey !

Dear Ganpat,
I will be waiting to see a movie produced by you in which Amitabh is acting. And talk about acting, you must watch Mela, Baazi, Mann, Parampara, Love Love Love, Tum Mere Ho etc. .. they are classics and can be used as textbook of acting in Indian film industry. See you after you watch all those films.
Aamir is beggin for public sympaty since he is all paranoid about his brother's illess news in public and how he and his family has porblems that media and public know today. That's why he must have asked the intervier to ask a question on a similar movie which is black and os he can commet about it so that he will get back his public sympathy. Nice script from Aamir to the interviews and in reply he goes after Black, SLB, indirectly Big B to creat a contrversy also to sell his tickets. He wants both the public sympathy and public to buy his tickets...That's your greedy and paranoid, symathy begging Aamir Khan. how can you stand such a low life? Only foolish indian public...
All the khans: SRK, Aamir, Farah KHAN specailly will try anything to top Amitabh. Everything of Amitabh is copied by SRK, even in OSO he tried to top BIg B from his hit song from 80's movie NASEEB and insulted Manoj Kumar (Mr.Bharat).
First Aamit commets and then says he is a fan of Big B. Same way Farah and SRK did in OSO. first they insult Mr. Bharat (manoj kumar) and say we are sorry. First do the damage with full intention and then say sorry.
These Khans are so jealous of Amitabh that they will try to pick everything about him in every way. And of course Indian public is hopelessly taken for ride in movies, in news,etc...
Doesn't mattter, what Big was and still is will be forever better than anyone can even imagine. I know Aamir saied something similar but that was after his comments so the public will take his side. Not everyone is fool. big b is the greatest even the true film maker such as Deep mehta has finally accepted

Don't judge ART or SPORTs by unfairness.
Why shiv sainiks are jealous of SRK though he gives charity to Bal Thakrey to keep his shiv sainiks mouth shut. Hindi film industry made hell of a hefty revenue because of SRK and SRK proved to very benefitted to India then why sainiks r against him.
Big B has infact turned into a overexposed big bore. To make money he will even dance in a marriage party. We are totally bored with his acts now. He is also a big opportunist, he align with various power brokers. He infact has turned into a crook. Aamir has class.

Bachhan was never a great as a person. He is a master manipulator. A person with such a huge following should never fall to the level of saying 'I cannot comment whether my performance was towering or not, but Aamir may be right on the other, maybe the performances did go 'over the top' of his head!'
He should appreciate the feelings of others and take the criticism in his stride.

You can say Big-B bore after 40 years becasue you can't stand his accomplishment which is beyond Yusuf Khan(dilip Kumar) and others...People are sick of Aamir's greedy publicity and SRK's hideous acting. Just wait until indian public finally realizes these facts with time, no one will care for SRK andAamir or any khans for that matter.

i also agree Big B is big bore...aamir is too classy person in terms of cinematic knowledge in front of big B
Has Aamir expressed his misgivings about Black to you? (Questioned asked by his friend S k Jha)
In a private meeting after the release of Black Aamir had told me of his reservations on the film. He had not liked it. He had issues, he said. He told me the film did not work for him because he disagreed with the voice over of Rani as soon as the film started.
The argument being, if the girl is deaf, dumb and blind how can she have a voice-over ! I have to date not been able to understand that remark. Maybe you can.
He has also called the performances in Black "over-the-top". I'd presume that includes your towering performance. I cannot comment whether my performance was towering or not, but Aamir may be right on the other %u2013 maybe the performances did go 'over the top' of his head !
RE:Bachchan's Response!
by rb on Nov 30, 2007 08:30 PM
forget everything, he is promoting his movie as simple as that. last time RDB with narmada and mega patkar. as a gujarati, till date i didn't watch RDB though I like rakesh mehra's AKS. now, there is nothing there, he is taking cheap shot and commenting on 2 year old movie with AB in there. I know amir is good actor, but this is not the way to promote your movie. just ask SRK, he will guide you. look at OSO, certainly weak product but with marketing its hit now, maybe super hit.
First things first. Here's the interview of Aamir http://www.mumbaimirror.com/net/mmpaper.aspx?Page=article§id=47&contentid=2007112620071126233559468ae880b68 To clear some understanding 1. He was specifically asked who his fav directors are whom he's not worked with 2. Now, after he'd answered that, the interviewer had no need to specifically ask him about Bhansali. Still, he did 3. Even after that, when Aamir responded with his response to SLB movies, he was again asked specifically about Black and thats when he spoke these things. Few things are crystal clear after that 1. The interviewer is another SRK/BIG B chamcha and specifically asked questions to generate controversy. What else is our media doing these days? 2. Aamir did not intend any dis-respect to Big B Read: http://www.aamirkhan.com/blog.htm 3. He can have his own opinion about some movie and just becaue it had one of his idols (Big B) in it, he did not try to be politically correct, like SRK and other (so-called) smart fellows
My views? Though I am a huge fan of both, I am on Aamir's side this time. Big B should've reacted in his usual composure but recent trouble and politics with SRK seems to have brought him down to SRK's level. The points that he's made about Lagaan's character or Kajol's blind character in Fanaah dont prove any point. Personally, I always thought Black to be an over-hyped movie and Bhansali was eventually leading to something like Sawariya with extra melodrama than necessary

Vyankatesh, you have a point, I agree with you. Aamir was subjective about the movie Black only. Again he has clarified his point on his blog about Bachchan. Secondly however big the bachchan is, still he is above critism. Its a free and democratic society. Secondly, the way Bchchan has responded is below his dignity by saying that "the performance went over Aamir's head". Its below his dignity.
Bachachan has turned himself into a money making machine. Wether its RGV's Aag or Nishabd, anyone who has couple 1-2 crore to spare can hire Bchchan. Surely, he has lost his class.
RE:Lets get the facts straight
by BM on Nov 30, 2007 10:58 PM
Dear Mr. Rege,
I totally agree with you. You have mentioned very notable points. Today's media just wants to create unnecessary controversies between stars and sell news. Personally I did not like 'Black' as well (although my opinion does not really matter here). It seemed to be a very over the top melodramatic movie with equally over the top performances. But all the hype with the movie and SLB made it big. All SLB movies (except probably 'HDDCS' which had an original story) are melodrama epics with gargantuan sets (He hacked the Devdas story to death. Only SLB can imagine Devdas's Paro living in a luxirous glass tinted haveli and a Bengali mother dancing in her courtyard)
Regarding Amitabh's performance in the recent past he has given far better and restrained performances in films like Khakee and Nishabd. The story of Nishabd which was a very unpractical one was watchable just because of Amitabh. It is very difficult for any actor of today's age to potray that role with such sincerity and poise and hat's off to both Amitabh and RGV for that.
Regarding amir, any individual has the right to have their opinion. Why should there be any controversy created around opinions?

Ya after that whole India tumhe goli marega. Whenever Amitabh falls sick ,whole country prays for him, does anyone do such when Aamir faces any problem.
My creative differences with Mr Bansali are unimportant. I believe he has the potential to make a good film and I look forward to seeing his latest film SAWARIA. luv aamir
On my comments on BLACK, let me start by commenting that I have the highest regard for Mr Bachchan and I am very big fan of his work. Probably one of the biggest. I believe that he along with Mr Dilip Kumar are among my two favourite actors of Indian Cimema. I have no hesitation in saying that I don''t even feature on the same platform as an actor. He is also in my opinion THE biggest star that Indian Cinema has ever seen. However as any member of the audience I too have a right to my opinion. And let me also clarify that my observations were towards the film and the way it was handled not towards any of the actors. I am very aware that the key of every performance is very much determined by the director.
My big exception towards Black is the fact that a child with severe difficulties is shown being illtreated instead of being treated with love, care and understanding. I simply cannot come to terms with that no matter what the writer and director say in defence. I thought I was watching a rip off of Taming Of The Shrew!!! I take great exception to this kind of behaviour towards children being glorified and propagated through a popular mass medium as the way to deal with children with or without difficulties. I, without any hesitation, strongly condemn this kind of cinema no matter who is involved with the film, and that includes me if I ever have in the past, present or future made such an error of judgement. My creative differences with Mr Bansali are unimportant. I beli

There is no comparision of Amitabh Bachchan with Dileep Kumar, Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor or Ashok Kumar. These were the stalwarts who created their original style and continued to be the heros for generations. They won the hearts of massess by their work and not by manipulations, acheived these heights, with a very little money in cenima, in its primitive technology and very little exposure by media. The present generation of actors has all this in plenty to flourish.

Amit is jealous of SRK's popularity. He married his failure son with Aishwarya so Abhishek would become popular. Amitabh always sought help of the popular figures starting from Indira Ghandhi Rajiv Ghandhi Sanjay Ghandhi and now Aishwarya Rai and Ambani, Salim-Javed, Kader Khan, Yash Chopra, Prakash Mehra and copied Dilip Kumar throughtout his career. He is mentally ill man.

Since SRK is close to the Gandhis and the ruling establishment and also to Karan Johar , Chopras etc, would you like to pass a similar comment about him?
Media plzz grow up.Dont make such fight between 2 of the greatest actor of India.Plzz see the blog where Amir had write abt Black.He didnot like the film.But for him AB is his icon.And dont tell AB just 1 comment that he didnot like Black.Its his choice.If u tell AB the whole comment surely AB would not react to this.
And BTW if SLB can tell Fanaa is very bad movie(which is huge hit) then if Amir didnot like Black he also can comment this.And he commented that there is only 1 thing thats acting.Do u know Rani is the only good frd of Amir(now salman also).So what do u think???He can comment on their acting.He never tell that they acted badly.
And lastly dont get publicity by making fight between 2 all-time gr8.1st there is SRK-AB and now there is Amir-AB.Maybe next there is SRK-Amir.So guys be ready 4 that.
