Vivek Nimbolkar’s The Many Faces of Big B celebrates Amitabh Bachchan's cinematic legacy, particularly his iconic roles in Sholay (1975), Coolie (1983), and Deewar (1975). Known for his abstract approach and geometric compositions, Nimbolkar uses bold colours and fluid forms to capture the essence of Bachchan’s multifaceted persona. His works reflect the interplay of light and dark, mirroring the complexities of Bachchan’s characters, who balance contrasting emotions and battle societal forces. Nimbolkar’s use of mixed media and symbolic elements underscores the actor’s influence on both cinema and culture, uniting the masses under one banner.

In Sholay, Bachchan’s portrayal of Jai, the fearless hero, is symbolized by a gun and scooter, evoking rebellion and camaraderie. In Coolie, Nimbolkar highlights Bachchan’s connection to the common man; in this case a coolie, through the lens of the director. Deewar is captured through the emotional conflict of Vijay, a character torn between crime and morality, conveyed in the tension of Nimbolkar’s geometric abstractions. The weathered road symbolizes Bachchan’s ongoing journey, while elements like the number 786 nod to key moments in his magnanimous career. Nimbolkar’s work honours the enduring impact of Bachchan, portraying him as a timeless symbol of strength, resilience, and heroism.
