One of the most underrated actors of Bollywood, Abhishek Bachchan has come a long way by delivering various brilliant performances in the past. With movies like Yuva, Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Guru, etc. he proved his mettle as an actor and reinvented himself with Anurag Kashyap's Manmarziyaan. If you have been following his journey, you must be aware that the ‘Junior Bachchan’ leaves no stone unturned to do justice to his characters. 

He's now back to entertain his fans with his act in Diya Annapurna Ghosh's directorial venture Bob Biswas. Abhishek is playing the titular role in the spin-off to the 2012 film Kahaani. His character is inspired by Saswata Chatterjee's character in Vidya Balan's cult thriller. 

Ever since the trailer was released, the actor is receiving an amazing response for nailing the look of the common man who doesn't remember who he was and what he used to do. With the high standard set by Chatterjee in Kahaani, fans were super-excited to see Abhishek's performance as the insurance agent-cum-contract-killer.

Bob Biswas has been written by Sujoy Ghosh who had directed Kahaani. The film also features Chitrangda Singh and Samara Tijori in important roles and is now streaming on the OTT platform ZEE 5.

Here's the trailer:

Speaking about the film, Abhishek, in a statement, said, "It’s a fresh take, fresh build up and the characterization is entirely new. It’s a reinterpretation of the film Kahaani that’s why Sujoy didn’t make it, he just wrote it. Diya, his daughter directed it. It’s a fresh take on the role and I hope people enjoy my interpretation of it". 

Now that the much-hyped film has been released and streaming on ZEE5, people who have watched it already have been sharing their opinions on social media. The film has been getting a mixed response from critics, however, the majority of viewers are appreciating it. People have given a big thumbs up to Abhishek Bachchan’s acting. 

One of the users wrote that the actor has delivered a "stellar performance" while another shared that Abhishek's interpretation of Bob Biswas left him gasping. 

Here are the reactions:

@juniorbachchan's interpretation of #BobBiswas left me gasping "what the hell just happened" despite my skepticism.

The sheer suddeness of his quirky "killer mode", switching on and off was morbidly amusing.

Bob is the common man we secretly want to be.
