Is Amitabh Bachchan's Run Over?

I feel like all the hype and hoopla around Amitabh has slowly died, He hasn't really lived up to his legacy since Paa in 2009, after that none of movies have worked all that well, he gave lots of duds like Satyagraha, Department, Aarkshan, Teen Pati etc, even though critics appreciated him even in the flop movies, none of them made any noise.

Im not only saying this because he gave flops, there are lots of films that he has starred in that were flops but his performances were heavily appreciated... but now even his performances also don't seem to be a topic of discussion anymore.

His future projects don't seem promising either, even Bhoothnath 2 seems whatever, considering the first one was a flop not sure why a second one is being made.

He once went through a bad phase and was defiant and came back with a bang; do you think he can pull that off again, or has his career finally completed its course and there's nothing left for him to do anymore?

his run is long gone. but there he will top all when it comes to the biggest star ever.

I think I agree with you, Im sure he will never be forgotten and will always be held in high regards and be a legendary icon FOREVER - but I also think his run is over, I dont really see any effort or interest from his end to do anything great like he did with Black, Paa, etc.

He has two great movies line up. One is Piku and the other one is a father son relationship movie.

AB's career is like Bhishma pitamah. Lying on bed of nails and still breathing. He just won't go away. Atleast from social media.

Dude, the man is beyond flops and hits. Icon is a word that is thrown around, but he is truly iconic not just in Indian cinema but cinema in general.

He is an overhyped moron. That's all he is, little substance to show for all the hype. Sorta like Elvis Presley a big pr machinery with average talent and the right face to sell. I'll be glad when he fades out. Can't stand his obnoxious ass

What run?

He hasn't been in the race for a long, long time. His RUN ended the day he had to call Yash Chopra and ask for a role.

While I agree he was extremely overrated in his prime as an actor, his second innings, as a character actor, has seen some wonderful performances.

I wonder why/how people are giving amitabh work leaving abhi..
