Abhishek on Big B's acting-'Nishabd'

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.
