Went to See BLACK this Saturday with my Friends.... It was a really unforgettable Experience...BLACK is Unlike any HIndi Movie ever-made. It is Stark, Thought Provoking, Rough, Beautiful, Poetic, Gossamer, and Tough at the same time. Very Few Movie-Makers are able to attain this level of Movie Making. Hats off to Sanjay Leela Bhansali. |

Black stars Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji. Bacchan, in one of his best roles, plays the TEACHER and Portrays both Unsurmountable Weakness and Indomitable Strength with equal Ease. Rani(the Girl Next Door) portrays the role of a Deaf and Blind Girl with such conviction, that the viewer cannot help but get affected with her plight.
Ayesha Kapur plays the young Rani -- a blind, deaf and hence mute girl -- to perfection. One can just wonder at the performance by a 10 year old little girl. Frustrated by her inability to comprehend the world around her, little Michelle McNally is an untamed 'animal'. Her Father keeps a distance, her mother is too full of pity to try to discipline her. Michelle inhabits her own Dark and Silent World, bumping into walls all around her. Our Hearts go out to her as she gobbles food directly from the table, or when her father beats her up for (almost) hurting her liitle sibling. Debraj Sahai (Amitabh Bachchan), a recovering alcoholic and a 'Magician' with Differentially-abled kids, wrangles himself into the responsibility of turning the blind, deaf and mute girl into a 'fine young lady' (as Michelle's mother Catherine, played with grace by Shernaz Patel, says). Our Hearts soar as she manages to blurt out her first word : W...A...T...E...R.In the End Black come Full Circle with the Student teaching the "Teacher". The Last Scene Leaves an Unforgettable imprint on the Viewer's mind, with the whole screen bathed in brilliant WHITE light. |
