I'd say I only like the Amitabh Bachchan of 'Anand', 'Kabhi Kabhi', and some others of the yesteryears... after that he became a gimmick artist, especially from the 80s... his movie selection was third rate. It's only because of his voice and the choice of the Indian masses that he rose to heights. A true educated Indian would not talk much about his works over the past say 25 years. And definitely not over the past 10 years after the KBC shit. We need to rate him on an overall character which is very poor and most of us would know that. He jeopardized Rekha's and Parveen Babi's lives... made hay while sunshine with some other actresses. He exploited the media to the fullest in shameless ways just because he could cover up the massive losses he incurred for staging the Beauty Pageant contest in the mid-nineties. And not to mention, the way he is forcing himself on screen today along with that lousy actor son copycat and his cat-eyed wife... he is definitely the gimmick artist of the century. And he can get nowhere close to Dilip Kumar or even Rajesh Khanna as a gentleman artist... on an overall rating mind you.
