A very decent movie,it has been beautifully made by Rituparno Ghosh and should be watched to see the beautiful performances by all the casts. Each and every character portrayed in the movie was mind blowing and as i had said about its title,its characters suits it the most and no other actors would be as good as these in this movie.The story was very interesting and the best part is idea of taking an old,Shakespearean theater actor (Bachchan) and casting him in a motion picture is intelligent. All the other characters are well-written. Every character is portrayed as a struggling person.The way Bachchan ji has played his part is mind blowing and for me it is one of the best film by him till date.

This movie The Last Lear may not be liked by the people who don't like art films but will be fully enjoyed by all keen in watching such art movies. The story is very good and so is the acting,direction and screenplay.Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal, Shefali Shah, Divya Dutta and Jishu Sengupta, this is one movie that can be considered as superb.The film has been made beautifully.It gives one the feeling that you are watching a Shakespeare drama on a screen and I am saying this from my own experience in not just studying some of the bard's dramas, but also having acted in one many years back.The movie is really nice and our Bollywood should also come up with this kind of stuffs.

The Last Lear is a movie based on Shakespeare's play and after watching the movie you will surely realize how amazing the director Rituparno Ghosh is.The movie talks about Harish and his love for Shakespeare's plays and theater.The movie shows how he wanted to be successful as a stage actor but on his last performance he goes in comma.Planman production always came up with brilliant star cast and this time they have taken the great Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.Not only him,all the other star cast priety zinta,Arjun Rampal and others all were very nice in the movie.Amitabh always experiments with his roles and have tried to show the mature and intensive performances day by day.

The Last Lear is a movie that would be remembered for its excellent and brilliant acting by stars and other is its storyline.I really like the plays of Shakespeare and this is the first time i have seen the movie based on his play,an art movie.I have seen all the movies given by Arindam Chaudhuri's Planman Productions and this is perhaps their best movie.Apart from this,planman production always came up with brilliant star cast and this time they have taken the great Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.Not only him,all the other star cast priety zinta,Arjun Rampal and others all were very nice in the movie.But the way Amitabh Bachchan plays his role is incredible.It's great to see him playing any role with such an ease.Other actors like Arjun Rampal,Shefali Shah are superb as well.It is one of the best multi starrer film of its type that I have seen in Bollywood!
