If Pure Talent And Sheer Acting Ability Were Considered As The Real Prerequisites Of Being A Superstar, Then Naseeruddin Shah And The Late Om Puri Would Have Been The Top Of The Pyramid In Bollywood. A National School Of Drama Product, Naseeruddin Shah Gave Indian Cinema So Many Memorable, Powerful Gems, Especially In The '80s And The '90s. The Winner Of Three National Film Awards, As Well As Padma Shri And Padma Bhushan, Shah Was One Of The Connoisseurs Of The Rise Of Parallel Cinema In The '70s And '80s With Movies Like Paar, Mirch Masala, Ardh Satya, Masoom Etc. Unlike Some Of His Peers, Naseeruddin Shah Has Also Not Shied Away From Dabbling In Mainstream Cinema, Though To Less Impact, With Films Like Tridev, Mohra, Jalwa, Krrish And Others.
