A few days back...I went to watch Last Lear.....Heard much about it....read much about it.....Was told it’s Big B’s best performance till date....so just didn’t had an option but to go n watch it....And must admit...gr8 movie....very strong...highly intellectual....but very bad direction...unnecessary characters...I mean....if u take a close look, the entire movie was only of 3 characters...Big B, Arjun Rampal and Jisshu. and taking that starcast of Priety Zinta, Shefali Chaya Shah, Divya Dutta was in my opinion just a waste of them all. because they were not at all linked with the story. whenever they came on screen, the movie was away from the real track. and of the three main characters, the character of jishhu was so underplayed that it could have been done away with a voice over only of some one like SRK, or Amir Khan....This is what I felt about the direction.

Performances, Right, Amitabh Bachhan Rocked, really...I mean no one could have played the character better is what my feeling is...he displayed that command, that voice, that passion, everything that is required in a stage artist...and there can’t be a question raised over his performance. But somewhere i feel Arjun Rampal was better that Big B. Many may disagree but if you look at the characters, Big B’s character was given special highlight, and if a character like that is played by someone like Mr. Bachhan, it’s got to be striking, but performancewise i thought Arjun Rampal was hard, strong, firm, and striking. I mean he’s been doing it quiet often now, Ek Ajnabee, Don, Rock-on and now Lear....he’s just growing and growing...and presently seems to be the only actor who’s capable to stand his ground in front of the acting school, Mr. Bachhan. He did the same in Ek Ajnabee, and here again.

Over all, a good movie, great performances, even though bad direction, loose script, and no link of characters with the story. worth a watch.
