“Main jab bhi kisise dushmani mol leta hoon… saste mehenge ki parvah nahi karta.”

“Bachchan sir’s rustic look in Deewar is one of his most iconic ones. He’s an inspiration for every aspiring actor, and a reason behind their choice of profession, too,” says Divyanshu Mamgain, B Sc (Physical Sciences), third year.

“Mujhe joh sahi lagta hai main karta hoon ... woh chahe bhagwan ke khilaaf ho, samaaj ke khilaaf ho, police, kanoon ... yah phir poore system ke khilaaf kyun na ho.”

“Sarkar (2005) was so intense that it could have been made greater only by an actor with a stature like Amitabh sir has. He made it iconic,” Aaryaman Singh, Economics (Hons), first year.

“Is duniya mein do type ke log hote hai... ek woh joh khud batate hai ki woh kaun hai... doosre woh jinke baare mein duniya batati hai ki woh kaun hai.”

“A film and a role that many would have forgotten is my choice because it shows us a different side of Bachchan sir,” Gajraj Singh Rathore, BSc (Physical Sciences), third year.

“Kahaan don, jo zara zara si baat pe goliyan chala dete the, aur kahan main, mujhe to goliyaan tak khelna nahi aata!”

“Amitabhji’s dual role in Don was a perfect balance between suave and goofy. I absolutely love the role,” says Raunak Singh, Sanskrit (Hons), second year.
