The Last Lear

The Last Lear is a poignant drama that delves into the world of theatre and cinema, as a veteran actor Harish Mishra, played by Amitabh Bachchan, finds himself bedridden in a coma. His co-star Shabnam, played by Preity Zinta, visits him and recounts their story and equation with Harish through flashbacks. The film explores Harish's passion for Shakespeare, his disdain for modern cinema, and his relationships with the people around him, including his director Siddharth, played by Arjun Rampal, and Vandana, played by Shefali Shah. The movie is a reflection on the comparative artifices of stagecraft and cinema, and the sacrifices one must make for their art.
