Amitabh Bachchan’s top 10 performances

Deewar: 'Mere paas gaadi hai, bangla hai, paisa hai hai! Tumhare paas kya hai?' a dialogue that is famous not only with Bachchan fans but also with kids, is from this super hit film. You surely must have heard a lot about Amitabh Bachchan's performance in Deewar, but if you haven't watched it yet, you got to watch it to believe it! This has been one of his best performances ever.

Amar Akbar Anthony: This is one film that you wouldn't mind watching again and again, right? Talk of this megastar and the first film that is sure to come to your mind is Amar Akbar Anthony. Bollywood's angry young man did a fabulous job as Anthony in the film, didn't he? Not just the film but also the title track of this film 'Unhoni ko honi karde honi ko unhoni' turned out to be a smashing hit.

Agneepath: 'Mera naam Vijay Deenanath Chauhan' – remember this famous dialogue? This is another popular line used till date. Ask some crazy Big B fan – what's your name? And he might just say 'Mera naam hai Vijay Deenanath Chauhan!' We must say, Big B was just fantastic in Agneepath. His complete appearance in the film was just so phenomenal. Did you know that his amazing performance in Agneepath got him a national award? Well, yes and he truly deserved to be awarded.

Don: If an award like 'The best scenes of all times' ever existed, Don would definitely be nominated for this category. The film's dialogues, cast, direction, songs, etc. everything was just so perfect. We don't think there's anyone who would ever say 'What a waste of time' even after watching this film ten times. Though Don was made again with SRK, it did not click as much as the original Don did. The original one has its own charm, doesn't it?

Sholay: The entire cast of this film was just so perfect including Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Sachin Pilgaonkar, Asarani, Amjad Khan, Sanjeev Kumar and off course Amitabh Bachchan as well. In fact, Veeru-Jay, Gabbar, Sambha, Kalya, Thakur, Mausi, Surma Bhopali, Angrej ke jamane ke jailor, Ramlal have all become a part of our lives, haven't they? In fact some people know the films dialogues by heart, right from the start till the end. Talk of any scene and you'll know that it has its own impact. In short, there has been no film in Bollywood till date that can prove to be better than Sholay.

Mukkadar Ka Sikander: Big B was very well supported by stars like Rekha, Vinod Khanna, Rakhi and also Amjad Khan in this film. As a jinda dil pathan, he completely managed to win over the audience and Big B. It was Amjad Khan, who proved that it's not just the actor but also a supporting actor who can seek the audience's attention on the silver screen. Though this is one of Big B's top 10 films ever in Bollywood, Amjad Khan equally deserves to be credited for his performance.

Shahenshah: This film gave Big B a new name in the industry – Shahenshah. That's what he's popularly known as in Bollywood after Big B and Angry Young Man. Shahenshah's popular dialogue 'Rishte mein toh hum tumhare baap lagte hai, par naam hai Shahenshah' is another hit among his fans. He's the only actor in Bollywood who has at least one hit line from each of his films. Isn't there something very special about Big B? It's not just his deep baritone voice, but also his style of talking, walking, dancing, etc that people are mad about.

Black: Though this film did not prove to be a super hit as compared to his other block busters, but his performance in this film is still something that's worth mentioning. Big B's role in this film was quite challenging as a teacher and he's done a fabulous job, we must say. He's one versatile actor Bollywood has and he's someone who's loved by not just the oldies but also the kiddies for his mind blowing performances.

Sarkar: It was nice to see Big B and Abhishek work together in Sarkar, wasn't it? Name any kind of role and you'll realize that this megastar has tried playing all those characters. The way he deals with the underworld in this film is very well shown and played.
