Amitabh and Nawazuddin rode through past Maidan and the Race Course, down Park Street and Red Road, and through Ballygunge. They also travelled by tram from Tollygunje to Esplanade. They were also hanging out of the doors of busses and trams for lack of space but somehow enjoyed the experience. They final destination was the beautiful Victoria Memorial, where they gorged on the roadside snack puchka'.
Amitabh had high praise for the people of the city and said, "Such universal presence in opinion is rare and exemplary and so are the Kolkatans. Rare, passionate, wise and filled with the senses of all that is of value and tradition."
On Sunday, he posted these pictures of himself kick-starting a scooter, in one of the pictures hours of shooting seemed to have left Amitabh 'sleep deprived'.
