Naseeruddin Shah has wowed us with his performances through the decades. As he turns 60 on July 20, the Hindi film industry hails the actor, and takes us through his best works.
Shyam Benegal
My favourite Naseer movies are Nishant, Bhumika and Manthan, in that order. I liked him Nishant because he played a naturally withdrawn personality. To play such a character and stand out is something that only a good actor can do.
Recently, I liked his film, Khuda Ke Liye, in which he gave a fine performance. I also liked him in Aakrosh, Iqbal and Omkara.
