For years, he has embodied the classic Indian hero, inventing and reinventing, branding and un-branding himself miraculously as and when the need has presented itself.
At 75, when most stars are not even stars anymore and are relegated, in all likelihood, to lead a quiet retired life waiting for a timely revival, a second act, a comeback or a Lifetime Achievement renaissance, Amitabh Bachchan has no need for any of that. Think about it. This is a man, who at the very least, four generations of Indians are intimately familiar with and never, save for a brief interlude in the late 1980s and 1990s when his films flopped and ABCL went bust turning him from a human god into running gag, has Bachchan been out of the public eye.

A Box Office India report pegs the collections at a little over Rs 5 crores which is poor by industry standards and considering that the film is Bollywood’s first big release of 2016.

The collections are expected to increase on Saturday, the report further states.

An action thriller, the Bejoy Nambiar-directed film, which stars Farhan Akhtar and Amitabh Bachchan in key roles, has received mixed reviews from critics. NDTV’s Saibal Chatterjee, who’s given it a 2.5-star rating, writes in his review of the film, “Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar, working together on the screen for the very first time, in tandem, are like a house on fire. But the duo’s all-out efforts to add sparkle to the film’s rough edges aren’t enough to turn the patchy game around.”

The box office is probably pegging its hopes on Sunny Deol’s comeback film Ghayal Once Again which releases next week and on Akshay Kumar’s Airlift which opens on January 22.
