Amitabh Bachchan calls the actor a “civilized architect”; not Ashok Kumar, Guru Dutt, Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor
Speaking of the legendary late actor Balraj Sahni, Amitabh Bachchan said: “I believe Balraj-ji has ushered in the culture of nature performance in the cinema. You know, he didn’t perform. He was just there. Every character he played is remembered with his low-key glory.”
Amitabh Bachchan and Balraj Sahni
Born on May 1, 1913 in Rawalpindi, British India, Balraj Sahni is considered one of the best actors in the Hindi film industry. He is known for his powerful and realistic performances in Hindi films such as Do Bigha Zameen, Garm Hava, Kabuliwala, Waqt and Haqeeqat. The legendary actor is remembered for his naturalistic performance style, which reflects deep sympathy, social realism and humanism. He died at the age of 59 after suffering from massive cardiac arrest on April 13, 1973. In a recent interview, Amitabh Bachchan called Balraj Sahni a “civilized architect”.
Speaking to the Times of India, Shawlay star said: “There are no comments on artists such as Balraj Sahni, Lata Mangeshkar, Dilip Kumar, Bhimsen Joshi, Ravi Shankar, Laurence Olivier and Rabindranath Tagore. They are architects of civilization. Performances.
Amitabh added: “Every character he plays is memorable for its low-key glamour. But if you insist on choosing one, it will be Ms. Sutton’s Garm Hava. It’s a tall show in the cinema. In our cinema, it’s our pursuit of perfection, and it’s a rare moment. He thinks he needs to get there even harder.”
The same labor and discipline as Laura of Rickshaw in Bimal Roy’s Do Bigha Zameen. I believe Balraj-ji will be physically and mentally on the streets of Kolkata, and no one knows him, that’s how his performance is. Superstars came to the conclusion.
