  1. Few of these movies might not have done great on box office..but I have always been a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan and love the movies he acted in..

  2. I have seen all the movies except the last one which I am yet to get my hands on. He is such a versatile actor and still amazes me with his talent.

  3. So out of the 4, I have seen only Ab tumhare hawale Watan sathiyo. I wanted to watch Thigs of hisdostan but after the reviews, I dropped the idea. After reading this I will definitely watch thugs and other two movies as well.
