BIG NIGHT OF NOSTALGIA

Ajitabh Bachchan's Speech about his Big B and how they rode a tricycle together was the highlight of the Bachchan bash

It was rocking. The man is unbeatable," R Balki screamed on the phone at 5 am after partying the whole night to bring Big B's birthday.And Shah Rukh Khan had tweeted about how he had "Danced with Amitji and Jaya aunty to all the songs I have grown up listening." We find out all that went on at the big bash.


Incidentally, it was 4:30 am when Amitabh Bachchan's 70th birthday bash finally came to an end at the Reliance Mediaworks in Film City, Goregoan. But the Bachchans had little time to recuperate from the celebrations. The next day, the family had to prepare for the release of the book on Big B at the Nehru Centre.

     Though all guests have been praising the party-- Karan Johar for instance called the B70 bash "a beautiful blend of nostalgia, reverence and legendary acknowledgement"--Mrs Sr B wasn't too satified. She was heard telling her friend that the arrangements could have been much better, if only if she had more manpower at her disposal to obey what she really wanted done.

      The evening was filled with 'recollections'. Guests unanimously thought that the speech by Big B's brother Ajitabh was the most moving part of the night-long celebration. "It was like a biographical account of Amitji's life as seen through the eyes of a younger brother.It started with the elder brother as a child taking his kid brother all round the house on a tricycle. Ajitabh spoke for a good 30 minutes."
      On the flip side, guests complained about the traffic from the Film City entrance to the party venue.For instance, Farah Khan had tweeted on her way to the party, alongwith a picture of her and Shirish Kunder: "In case we don't make it to Amitji's party (coz of the traffic jam of tsunami proportions) this is what we are looking like." However, like a guest said, once at the party venue, everthing was forgotten. "Three floors were done up for the bash. One floor was a audio-visual venue for the Big B's life and films. The third floor had a big dance area. The sit-in dinner was organised on the second floor.," said a guest.
But with more people turning up than was excepted, the dinner area got too crowded.
"Jayaji requested some invitees proceed to a buffet style dinner that was set up in the bar area," said a guest.
And many stayed right up till morning when Abhishek and Shweta personally saw them out.
