BLACK

One of the amazing movies I have ever seen. Beautiful picturisation and beautiful acting (can you say 'being') by the characters.

Debraj Sahai, a teacher for blind gets a new student - an 8 year old girl (brat, so calls his father initially) who is both blind and deaf. Yet he makes a lady out of her who later graduates from a University. Though the picture has been inspired by Helen Keller as said by the Director - Sanjay Leela Bansali himself, this picture takes all the credit for the picturisation.

The first lesson which Sahai initially feels he has failed in teaching his student, and later finding that she actually is not just before he leaves the home is one of the best shots. But then the movie has so many such best shots that are lined up futher in the movie. Sure the Director has taken great care in each and every shot. Amitabh and Rani Mukherjee has made an excellent show, Bachan playing the role of Dr. Sahai and Rani the role of blind, deaf girl - Michelle McNally.

Some of the scenes that are really touchy include -

  • Sahai - Amitabh's intro
  • Sahai's first lesson to Michelle
  • Michelle's interview at the University
  • Engagement dinner of Michelle's sister
  • Michelle's graduation
  • Michelle's teaching to Sahai
A movie that can become the 'Chosen one'.
