Angry young man

When I was a kid everybody around me use to talk about Amitabh Bacachchan. I was a kid then, I always use to wonder for this actor. I watched his films with a greater respect. When I went in high school I watched his film like Shehenshah. It was awesome experience as per my age.  Then I realized that ‘angry young man’ is a title and it is offered to him not by any director, friend, and politician but by a writer. Cinema is a reflection of society. John Osborne's Look Back in Anger made a lot of controversy in 1956. Kenneth Tynan a very famous critic of Observer, acknowledged it as the first totally original play of a new generation. Many opposed his view but very soon everybody accepted it s new voice on the British stage. “The Angry Young Movement” that Jimmy Porter “represented the dismay of many young Britons. Those were the post World War II days. Post industrialization and the beginning of modern era ethos we easily find it in drama.  In India we find the traces of modernism and new life style is easily found in the films of Amitabh Bacachchan.
