There may be a particular form of electricity that a performer brings to the screen – an intensity that’s unmatched, rage that looks like it will shake a whole Universe, fire that seems to burn a whole generation, and a presence that commands the screen! Amitabh Bachchan is the superstar who has this aura, and ever since, many actors have come near that magnanimous presence until this generation! After watching Matka King, I finally realized that Vijay Varma has that sharp streak amidst the actors of this generation!
Truthfully, I feel there is no such thing as a one like Amitabh Bachchan. The best way he walks, talks, and commands the screen to this point is magical! If he dies, nobody dies like him; if he cries, nobody cries like him; and if he even runs, nobody runs like him! There have been actors who’ve won us over after Amitabh Bachchan – right from Shah Rukh Khan to Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor to Ranveer Singh, but nobody has had that Bachchan streak!
Vijay Varma & His Rage Is Phenomenal!
Let me be clear: this isn’t about mimicry or copying the baritone or the Offended Young Man image. It’s in regards to the energy! In an era where most stars are curated, Vijay Varma shines aloof, each film or series a time! In the previous couple of years, he has won us over with a various body of labor – right from playing the abusive husband in Darlings to the nervous pilot of the IC: 814 – The Kandahar Hijack!
In his latest show, Matka King, he plays Brij Bhatti, a gambler who’s honest. The show truthfully is crooked, nevertheless it is Vijay Varma who still stands out! He occupies the screen with a weight that’s rare for actors of his generation. He has carried the complete series on his shoulders with the form of effortless authority that Big B used to display in movies like Deewar or Trishul. It’s that quietness before the storm that speaks volumes.
Very similar to the early Bachchan era, Vijay looks just like the common man who might rise from the ashes and rule the world. I told you that Deewaar energy. The hearth is unmatched. Nonetheless, it’s high time that he explodes on screen. From Pink to Gully Boy, he has been phenomenal but I’m still waiting for that magic on screen that will scream of this Bachchan-level aura – the raw and gritty aura!
Dear Vijay Varma, you appear to be the one superstar of your generation to have this Bachchan spark! I just hope you get your Deewar real soon and we watch you explode on screen like never before!
