Published by Osians this is a spectacular production, an awesome coffetable book completely worthy of an icon called Amitabh Bachchan. Reproducing posters and credits of all Amitabh Bachchan films spanning four decades, this is a collector’s item for every cinema lover and importantly, Bachchan lover. Granted that the book is very expensive ( Rs 3,500) but iit is worth the investment because you have Amitabh Bachchaan from Saat Hindustani to Last Lear in on one package and it is a pleasure to watch his pictures change and transform from an awkward 27 year old to patriarch. It is when you flip the pages that you become aware of the megastar’s enormous body of work and realize that while the critics were busy tearing apart his movies and performances, he silently continued to work, which is why Amitabh Bachchan is a legend and has done more films than any of his contemporaries or rather any actor in film firmament.
