...Abhishek, though, has the grit and charm to bring Gurukant to life. Just 30, he plays the character from his early 20s to his 60s and is persuasive for most of that span, though I wouldn't have minded if his dad had taken over in the later scenes. (Amitabh wouldn't agree. He said recently: "My father [the poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan] wrote in his biography, ?When a father loses to his son, it is his greatest victory!' I've lost to my son!

...game and I will take that any day.” The Big Green could not cut it down to a one-possession game in the final minute, despite two Crimson turnovers on inbounds passes following Dartmouth three-pointers. Harvard made 7-of-10 free throws in that time span to cancel out its miscues.

(You'll get subtitles in the theaters, as we at the Met got translations on the backs of the seats we were facing.) Behind him, on 12 rows of bleachers than span the stage, a chorus of about 150 keened along. Once the plot kicks in, though, the music becomes westernized and, to these inexpert ears, neither daring in form nor instantly appealing in tune. The color scheme ?? rigid and vivid in Hero, wonderfully lurid in Golden Flower ? is not so much subtle...
