It’s been more than 24 hours since the release of Bob Biswas trailer. And yes, it has created a lot of buzz on social media. Abhishek Bachchan does look promising in that trailer. His transformation into a psychopathic and cold-blooded assassin, Bob Biswas, has impressed the majority of Indian moviegoers.
Is this the movie Abhishek Bachchan was looking for his entire life? Can it change the tide of Junior Bachchan’s career for good? Let’s find out!
The first instalment of the Kahani franchise had Saswata Chatterjee in the role of Bob Biswas. Even after having less screentime than his other renowned cast members, his performance stood out the most. He stole the whole show right under their noses. Gently pushing Vidya Balan in front of the metro and slowly pulling her back to save her, that scene was enough to keep the audience on the edges of their seats. So, the most obvious question arises here. Is Abhishek Bachchan capable of doing what Chatterjee did with the iconic role?
There’s no doubt that Abhishek has immense talent. From time to time, he has shown his worth in his projects. But him being the son of Big B and a Starkid has always been the topic of hot conversations among the critics and people.
Yuva, Bunty Aur Babli, Guru, Dostana, Raavan, Sarkar, Dhoom series, and many other movies display AB’s wide acting range. His performance as Gurukanth Desai is still considered his career-best. But that came out almost 14 long years ago.
Some say Abhishek Bachchan’s time has long gone. Others still believe that he is talented enough to deliver some class performances. But we know for sure that it is the perfect time to drop Bob Biswas to the Indian masses.
Junior B has the arduous task of recreating Chatterjee’s magic on the big screen. The latest trailer showed him dealing with memory loss and finding stability between his personal life and the assassin business. We watched Bob Biswas’ menacing side in Kahani (2012). The upcoming project also focuses on the young and emotional version of the prominent Bengali killer.
Bob Biswas will dispatch on the ZEE5 streaming service on December 3 this year. He stars alongside Chitrangada Singh, Paran Bandhopadhyay, Ronith Arora, and Tina Desai.
