Black - The Best

After a long wait I watched 'Black' yesterday. Instead of review, I would say that these are my thoughts on this phenomenal film in the history of Indian Cinema. 'Black' is one of its kinds and is a movie which we all can be proud of, when showcased to audience elsewhere in the world that movies like this are taken in India. Starting from the cast, the music, the direction, the screenplay, the cinematography, every single aspect of the movie was flawless.

Kudos to the director Bhansali, who has given this cathartic tale of a deaf, mute and a blind girl and her teacher who brings her light. He has got the best out of everyone. This film is a masterpiece, carved frame by frame. Firstly, the credit goes to the cast. Rani Mukherjee has done an awe inspiring performance as blind and deaf Michelle Mc Nally, who is in a world of unending darkness. The story begins with this girl praying to god, to get her teacher back. A teacher-magcian who made her, what she is. From the first scene of the film till the end of the movie, she has done a great job. Some of the scenes in which she really moved me were, the graduation speech where she talks about her achievements, the interview in the university, the one in which she goes mad after knowing that his teacher as been chained, the scene where she craves for a kiss, the way she walks almost in every single frame of the movie, she has proved her talents. Her voice suited very well for the narration.

Now talking Amitabh, the character Debraj, will always be in the minds of the people for years to come. I was never a big fan of Big B, because of the crappy roles he used to do lately, like the one in Boom , Kyon Ho gaya na and many other films which came out recently. But he has proved that he is a superstar with an action that’s out of the Bollywood world. As a tough teacher for a obstinate girl, as a old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease Bachan jsut rocks!. The back ground score was nicely done. It suited the movie very well.

All put together it’s a film of international standards that’s going to change the way, people see Indian cinema. A must watch film.
