Silsila (Amitabh Bachcan, Rekha, Jaya Bhaduri, Shashi Kapoor) – Bollywood Blu-Ray

Silsila revolves around lovers who are forced by circumstances to marry different partners but whose desire for each other s love and company pushes them beyond their marriages and the relationship they embark on and the impact of this decision on their personal lives and that of their respective spouses. Amitabh Bachchan as the young fiery poet who cannot accept the loss of his beloved puts in a brilliant performance. His is a performance that is full of contradictions, a man selfless enough to take over on his shoulders someone else s miseries and at the same time, selfish enough to refuse to let go of the girl he loved even though she is married to someone else. This role at the hand of a lesser actor would have become too negative for redemption but the actor manages to walk a delicate tight-rope and keep the character lovable despite his flaws.
