| Abstract: | The article focuses on Amitabh Bachchan, superstar of Indian cinema. According to the author, he loves watching Bachchan dance, which is not to suggest that the most durable star in the history of Hindi cinema is celebrated for his fancy footwork. In fact apart from
his undoubted acting chops and the sheer force of his brooding masculine charisma, he is most
fervently admired for his verbal gifts: the sonorous baritone that makes all his set-piece
speeches sound like mosaic proclamations, and the flair for mimicry he exploits as one of the first Bollywood actors to adopt authentic Bombay street slang in his gangster roles. Bachchan
is also one of the few Bollywood stars who has occasionally recorded his own playback tracks.
