Refugee to resilience—Abhishek's is a silent hurricane of talent, strength, and poise. Let's honor his best performances that shaped his legacy 

25 Years of Abhishek Bachchan 

As Gurukant Desai, Abhishek gave a powerhouse performance—ambition, vulnerability, and fire packed into one. A Mani Ratnam classic that continues to provide goosebumps.

Guru (2007)

Lallan Singh was not a role—it was a revelation. Raw, intense, and unforgettable. Abhishek won his first Filmfare for this Mani Ratnam gem.

Yuva (2004)

Conman with a heart! Abhishek's comedic timing and rapport with Rani Mukerji turned this heist rom-com into a fun ride we still enjoy watching over and over.

Bunty Aur Babli (2005)

In the era of power and politics, Abhishek's Shankar Nagre towered above—dignified strength, allegiance, and emotional depth. A father-son drama that hit close to home.

Sarkar (2005)

Defying stereotypes with humor, Abhishek's comic talents sang. His bromance with John and sparring with Priyanka turned this movie into a pop-culture phenomenon.

Dostana (2008)

As Robbie, Abhishek infused serenity into turmoil. Unobtrusive, mature, and painfully authentic—he showed us that silence can be a powerful voice in love tales as well.

Manmarziyaan (2018)

Against the background of Old Delhi's heart, Abhishek's performance was low-key and heart-wrenching. A movie that didn't shout at the box office but spoke truth.

Delhi-6 (2009)

25 years on, Abhishek is not only Amitabh's son—he's a filmmaker in his own right. Which of his movies are you watching tonight?
