Bachchan’s performance in Ram Goal Varma ’s film is very unconventional by Bollywood standards. He has no punchy dialogues, no long monologues and no passion-filled spiels. Big B’s character in the film is very realistic and so is his performance.
Terse dialogues are punctuated by long silences in which camera lingers on Bachchan’s facial expressions. Just by a single expression, Big B brings out a series of thoughts his character may be going through. It is a performance of great control and equanimity.
Abhishek Bachchan , who had some apprehensions about the movie when he saw the rushes months back, was reportedly moved to tears by Big B’s performance after a special screening of the film last week.
So much that Abhi thinks his dad’s performance in ‘Nishabd’ is better than in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black .
“He (Abhishek) feels my performance in Nishabd is better than Black. Abhishek made an interesting observation. He said I had huge props in Black. In Nishabd I performed without any,” Mr. Bachchan is quoted as saying by a Mumbai-based tabloid.
Abhishek was not the only one. Even filmmaker Ravi Chopra was deeply moved after watching the film.
