It is testimony to the enduring superstardom of @SrBachchan that almost 50 years after its first release #deewar still draws a full house with claps/whistles on iconic scenes that today's stars can only dream of. The simmering intensity & swag is unmatchable. #AmitabhBachchan pic.twitter.com/EDEpTWoBTJ— Sumant Banerji (@sumantbanerji) October 9, 2022
WHAT A MOOD! Watching my all-time favourite movie on the big screen for the first time, with an audience of old and young that clapped, laughed, whooped every five minutes & sang every song & we all knew every dialogue – truly special. @SrBachchan @FHF_Official #AmitabhBachchan pic.twitter.com/KnzlB3cZow— Samira Sood (@samirasood) October 9, 2022

Shabana Azmi, too, had shared a similar snippet recently. In the honour of Big B’s birthday, Film Heritage Foundation is hosting a 4-day film festival – ‘Bachchan Back To The Beginning’, showcasing some of his best films in theatres. One of the movies as part of the festival is Don, which was played on Saturday night. While the theatre was reportedly packed, Shabana Azmi took to Instagram and shared a video in which the crowd was seen dancing along to the title song of Don.
Shabana compared the moment to a rock concert and called the audience ‘unbelievable’.
