So Amitabh Bachchan thinks he cannot dance?
Mr Bachchan, 75, was choreographed by Prabhu Deva and Mr Bachchan thinks he gave the National Award-winning choreographer a tough time for he is thankful that Prabhu Deva is at "home instead of an asylum." We think that Mr Bachchan is being modest over where because we have seen he dances quite well. Mr Bachchan is an impressive dancer since the beginning of his career. Mr Bachchan repertoire of fabulous dance numbers include songs like
Pag Ghungru and
Aaj Rapat Jaayen To (from
Namak Halaal) in the Eighties to
Kajrare (
Bunty Aur Babli) and
Meri Makhna and
Chali Chali (from Baghban) in the 2000s. Then why so modest, Mr Bachchan?
Here's a 5-point recap of Mr Bachchan's unmatchable dance style.
When Big B Moved The Masses: Amitabh Bachchan danced to
Jumma Chumma (
Hum) and it became a rage. A dance party till date is not complete if
Jumma Chumma isn't played on loop, and of course, dancers are trying their best to copy the hook step but none as suave as Big B.
When Dancing Funny Became A Genre:
Namak Halaal's
Pag Ghungru shows how comic dancing is actually quite a cool act. He tried his luck with break dance too.
When Dancing Off Worries Became The In Thing:
In
Don,
Kahike Paan Banaras Waala comes at a time when Vijay is evading the police, who thinks Vijay is a dreaded Don. But, forget about the police chase, Vijay thoughtit's best to dance off the worries and so should you.
When Big B Overshadowed Everyone On The Dance Floor:
In
Kajra Re from
Bunty Aur Babli, Mr Bachchan made sure the spotlight followed him despite the presence of his don Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.
When Big B Redefined Grace And Swag:
In
Shava Shava, Mr Bachchan danced with utmost grace and stole the show with his swag.
Amitabh Bachchan is currently filming
