Beautifully etched characters, sincerely performed and all of them executing it in the most dignified and sincere manner,” Big B wrote on his blog.

“What can one say at moments like these. One is dumbfounded and almost speechless,” the superstar added.

Even sonny Abhishek was spellbound after watching the film.

“Was completely worth it!! GUZARISH is truly magical! Sanjay is pure genius. Everything about the film, according to me, was pitch perfect. It’s spellbinding,” Abhishek tweeted after watching the film.

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, an iconic celebrity known for his awe-inspiring acting abilities, believes that success can only be achieved through hard work and pain.

“Nothing in this world is achieved without pain, hard work, sweat, blood and tears, the sooner we reconcile to this fact the better; the sooner we start to act on it even better!” Bachchan wrote in his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com.

“Man was told that on day one after the apple incident - you shall earn your survival through hard labour and the woman shall bear child in pain, dare we mortals, common and general, ever challenge that?”

Even with the years of experience behind him, the actor still gets butterflies in his stomach before he leaves for work.
