This is the story of a man..
..that has seen some big struggles in life.
And became the superstar of the millennium.
We call him AMitabh Bachchan.
"Jhumma."
"Jhumma."
"Jhumma."
"Jhumma."
"Jhumma. Jhumma. Jhumma. Jhumma. Jhumma."
"Jhumma. My sweetheart."
"Come on."
"It's Friday."
"You promised me."
"Look, I am here. Come out now."
"Don't make me restless."
"You promised me."
"On last Friday."
"I will kiss you, on next Friday."
"So it's Friday."
"Come on."
"Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on."
Everyone knows that..
..Amitabh Bachchan started his acting career..
..with the film 'Saat Hindustani.'
But few knew, that All India Radio..
..had rejected Amitabh Bachchan for his voice.
But, his first job in the film industry..
..was as a voice over.
In Mrinal Sen's, 'Bhuvan Som' Amitabh Bachchan did a voice over..
..and earned 300 rupees.
Bengal.
Golden Bengal.
Great Bengal.
Unique Bengal.
Bhuvan Som hails from this Bengal.
Honest.
Even after staying out of Bengal for years..
..he didn't forsake his Bengali ways.
Bhuvan Som.
A pure Bengali.
Amitabh Bachchan's days of struggle were so severe..
..that, when he left his job in Bengal and came to Mumbai..
..he spent a few nights on the bench of Marine Drive.
He was also ready to work as an extra in a film.
But, that's why the superstar of that era, Shashi Kapoor..
..rebuked him and said "You're bound for great things"..
.."don't ever let me catch you again as an extra".
"Don't play hide and seek with me."
"Don't trouble me like this."
"Don't trouble me like this."
"My sweet, adorable, son."
"My sweet, adorable, son."
"Come give me a hug."
"Come on."
Amitabh Bachchan's films were failing one after another.
But just then, his God Father..
..Hrishikesh Mukherji, signed Amitabh Bachchan for 'Anand'.
No one knew, that Anand's 'Babu Mosai'..
..will someday be Big B.
It's true that Amitabh Bachchan's 'Zanzeer'..
..was a running hit at the box office.
But, his angry young man image..
..came from Hrishikesh Mukherji's film 'Namak Haram'.
"Lamps burn, flowers blossom."
"But it's difficult to.."
"..find friends in this world."
"Lamps burn.."
The 70's was an emotional year.
Where romance was fading out..
..and, Angry Young Man was moving forward.
The public were angry, enraged..
..and that anger was transformed..
..through Amitabh Bachchan's personality in his films.
Who dared to touch Somu? Speak up.
Who wants to test his strength, show yourself!
Rascal. Now show me your might.
Come on!
I will skin you all alive, or my name isn't Vikram.
I will raze down the entire area, get that.
Amitabh Bachchan teamed up with the best producers and directors.
Whether it was Yash Chopra, Prakash Mehra..
..Ramesh Sippy, or the man known as king of Masala Cinema..
..Manmohan Desai.
Their team with Amitabh Bachchan worked wonders..
..and they ruled the box office.
"I am not the police officer, now there's nothing to fear."
"Now there's nothing to fear."
Amitabh's talent wasn't just acknowledged nationally..
..but, also internationally.
On the other hand, Amitabh Bachchan..
..barely managed to escape death.
While shooting for Manmohan Desai's film 'Coolie'..
..Amitabh was so severely injured..
..that, there was very less chances for him to survive.
But, the one protected by God, can never be harmed.
No one can lay a finger on him.
This saying befits Amitabh Bachchan.
On one hand, Amitabh Bachchan's fans..
..were praying for his good health in temples..
..mosques and churches.
On the other hand, the doctors of Breach Candy hospital..
..were doing their best to save Amitabh Bachchan.
After a great struggle, Amitabh Bachchan..
..returned from near death.
"Jhumma, kiss me."
"Jhumma, kiss me."
"On a Friday you promised to kiss me."
"This Friday you broke your promise."
"Well, its Friday again."
"Jhumma, kiss me."
"Jhumma, kiss me."
This was the era, when Amitabh Bachchan..
..also joined politics for a while.
And served as Member of Parliament.
And, he was elected as Member of Parliament..
..from his birth city, Allahabad.
"We love each other."
"We are restless for each other."
"If we've to die for each other."
"We are ready."
On one hand, the genre of movie was changing.
The trend was changing from action to romance.
And, Amitabh Bachchan's films..
..whether it was with Manmohan Desai or Prakash Mehra..
..weren't doing too good at the box office.
And, Amitabh Bachchan decided to retire from the film industry.
After 'Khuda Gawah' Amitabh Bachchan..
..stayed away from stardom.
This was the time, when Amitabh Bachchan..
..and his wife Jaya Bachchan started a film company..
..called Amitabh Bachchan Corporation ltd.
And after the initiation of this company..
..it felt like Amitabh Bachchan's stardom..
..has completely faded away.
The company was moving towards bankruptcy.
"The poison's spread all over."
"Oh my."
"The poison's spread all over."
"The scorpion's stung me."
"The scorpion's stung me."
Amitabh Bachchan realised he's only meant for acting..
..and not for business.
And, he was seen again on small screen.
In Kaun Banega Crorepati's first season.
Kaun Banega Crorepati proved to be..
..a savoir in Amitabh Bachchan's life.
And, it put Amitabh Bachchan back..
..in the race of super stardom.
"Wealth and youth."
"Are lost one day."
"Honestly, the entire world turns against you."
"Wealth and youth."
"Are lost one day."
"Honestly, the entire world turns against you."
"Only friends support you all your life."
And today, at this age..
..Amitabh Bachchan says to many heroes..
..'Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap'.
"We've to sing and chant. - Disco."
"It's the slogan of youngsters. - Disco."
"We've to prove it today. - Disco."
"We've to do it again. - Disco."
