Amitabh grooves like 17 at 70!He has given Bollywood some iconic dance steps during his prime, and
even in the new millenium, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who turns 70
Thursday, has continued at his grooviest best. Every now and then he has
proved he can still make the 'saara zamaana' go 'deewana'.
IANS lists a few of the veteran actor's popular dance numbers:
"Bol
Bachchan" (2012): Revisiting his "My name is Anthony Gonsalves" days,
the actor came out of a giant egg in this song, which his famed surname
in its title. Wearing a chic black sherwani, Amitabh showed all the
Bollywood latka-jhatkas he is capable of doing.
"Bbuddah... hoga
terra baap" medley (2011): A medley of twisted versions of his old hits
"Khaike paan", "Rang barse", "Pag ghungroo", Amitabh was at his
flamboyant best in this song. Floral shirts and goggles intact, the Big B
moved to his evergreen tunes, albeit with a new twist in every sense.
"Jhoom
barabar jhoom" (2007): His Johnny Depp's "Pirates Of The Carribbean"
inspired look created all the curiosity this song needed. Dressed as a
mysterious gypsy-like musician, Big B danced to the number at London's
Waterloo station. He carried the song on his shoulders and made it one
of the highlights of the movie of the same name, which was otherwise not
quite a rage at the box office.
"Rock'n' roll soniye" (2006):
At his flirty best as Sexy Sam in Karan Johar's "Kabhi Alvida Naa
Kehna", the veteran star grooved stylishly to this peppy number. He
danced in the midst of foreign beauties and proved how, be it the twist
or the 'rock 'n' roll', he could do it all!
"Kajra re" (2005):
This number will be special for the Bachchan family for generations to
come. Big B grooved and matched steps well with his son Abhishek
Bachchan, and now daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai. He didn't fall short
of the duo in a single step despite his age.
"Holi khele
raghuvira" (2003): This wasn't a surprise, coming from a man who gave
India a Holi anthem like "Rang barse". This is the new age Holi anthem.
Amitabh lived up the spirit of the festival of colours in the song, with
his playful demeanour and desi dance moves with Bollywood's dreamgirl
Hema Malini.
"Chali chali phir chali" (2003): That Big B can
work in any genre is a known fact. So if there was a "Holi khele
raghuvira" in "Baghban", there was also this westernised "Chali chali
phir chali". A song, based on the theme of Valentine's Day, the actor
put youngsters to shame with his vivaciousness and romantic side in this
dance sequence.
"Say shava shava" (2001): English twists or
Punjabi moves, Big B delivered one of his most carefree dance
performances of the new millenium with this number. He gave Bollywood
fans a new iconic step, and stole the limelight from Shah Rukh Khan and
Rani Mukerji in this one.
"Banda ye bindass hai" (2001):
Complete with a red rose in his mouth, Amitabh was true to the title of
the song, and showcased viewers his 'bindass' side. His solo sequences
were delightful and the parts with Nandita Das were fun and sensual at
the same time.
Amitabh grooves like 17 at 70!
