Harish Aneja The Last Lear is a movie based on Shakespeare's play and the way it has been portrayed by Rituparno Ghosh is just mind blowing.Although its too late that i am posting my review but this is my bad luck that i have seen this movie now and as soon as i have completed the movie,i am over to this review.The movie Stars great actors,Amitabh Bachchan, Priety Zinta,Arjun Rampal.Preity Zinta was very good.Portraying Shabnam, an actress troubled with her marriage and personal life, who decides to take a visit at Harish's(Amitabh Bachchan) residence who is dying on the day when his first movie is being premiered.Arjun Rampal meanwhile contemplates some thought that worries him.
Dev Khanna The movie is based on a Shakespearean age stage actor,Harish Mishra(Amitabh Bachchan).Harish also called harry, is a die hard fan of Shakespeare and thus aspired to be a successful stage actor at a stage in his life. In the last lear,after a long long time I see the character of the movie Harish and not Amitabh Bacchan because what Amitabh did was he became Harish and was not seen anywhere as the personality that he is.Amitabh Bachchan was at his best. Rituparno Bachchan,Amitabh Bachchan and Arindam Chaudhuri,very rare combination but done their excellent job in this movie The Last Lear.The movie is in English and i really like the way Shakespeare's art portrayed in this movie.
Bittu Vasist The last lear is simply amazing as it shows the brilliant combination of two great people.Amitabh Bachchan and Rituparno Ghosh are two legends in their own field. Last Lear is a movie about how Amitabh Bachchan, also playing the lead role in the film wants to be a great stage actor.Preity Zinta,Arjun Rampal,Shefali Chhaya were among the other casts in the movie.Believe me,all have given tremendous performance. in the film.Amitabh Bachchan needs no word to describe his acting.The way Harry suddenly breaks into the Shakespeare characters time and again is superb. The ending of the movie is so very touchy and awesome that the character of Harry just consumes one.A movie that is most definitely worth watching but not so if one does not fancy watching something that does not have songs, etc and more so if one doesn't like Shakespeare.The story is very good supported by equally good acting.The movie and its maker deserves all applause and appreciations!
Abhra Ghosh I have seen Rituparno's Dosar and find that movie amazing,despite of be in Black and White,he always takes risk as taken in this movie,the movie is an art film which most of the people don't like to see but this movie,everyone should watch.Everyone in this film are really nice and have produced great performance.Be it Arjun,Preity Zinta or Shefali Shah.All are superb.Amitabh Bachchan is exceptionally talented and needs no words to describe his performance. Rituparno as a director is awesome in the last lear.The emotions are beautifully relayed across the screen.Those who can easily stretch their imagination find the movie amazing.
