  • 4 stars out of 5

    In director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's thought-provoking family drama, Amitabh Bachchan plays Debraj Sahai, the dedicated, no-nonsense mentor who attempts to teach the blind and deaf Michelle McNally (the irrepressible Rani Mukherji). By encouraging, coaxing and even bullying the intelligent, determined girl, he succeeds, but Debraj's own life begins to change when he is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. As he comes to rely on his former student, the pair form a deep and lasting bond. The camaraderie between the two central characters is utterly convincing, thanks to fine performances from Bachchan and Mukherji, and Bhansali's meticulously crafted film captures the determination of the human spirit with understated elegance.

    The Best of Amitabh

    This is undoubtedly the best Amitabh movie. He has given stunning performance. Equally praisworthy is the performance of Rani Mukherjee and the girl who acted her childhood. It's a true dedication to Hellen Keller. Kudos to Sanjay Leela Bhansali
