Black-A movie many of you have seen & written reviews. Most of us have liked this movie including me. But there are many people amongst us who think that black is the worst movie made by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. So here is my opinion about the movie.
Why an English name & English dialogues?
If you would have noticed, this is not the first movie with an English name. English names have been used by Indian Directors since the sixties. For e.g.: Love in Tokyo, Blackmail, Chinatown, Company, Don, etc. Besides there is no rule written anywhere that Hindi movie must have a Hindi name! This allegation is totally senseless.
As for the dialogues, look at the story. This movie is not made for Indian Junta; it is not a conventional movie with SRK and loads of songs. This movie is meant to be a multiplex movie, a movie for classes & not masses. Surely a man (or woman) with class will understand that much English!
This movie is the copy of Miracle worker
I haven’t seen the miracle worker. Black may have taken inspiration from Miracle worker, but it cannot be the carbon copy of the movie. Look at Mahesh Bhatt movies,
If the house in the English movie is green, then Mahesh Bhatt will paint the house green while copying the movie, leave what happens to the story. Just tell me a story which is 100% original now a days. Most of you guys don’t have problem with that!
Why a Christian family, why not an Indian Settings?
Come on, Guys. Aren’t you sick of watching the same Indian settings, the same Indian hero (Usually Rahul or Raj) or Indian Heroine (Priya or Simran). Does it really matter if the family is Hindi or Muslim or Christian? Would Michelle’s life would have become easy if her name had been Madhuri or Maseera. The Christian era has portrayed so beautifully, The Paul Family’s home, the college. That is something we don’t see in regular movies. Its time to see something innovative than some Ghar with Sanskars.
Stupid comments like this create rift in our society.
Rani Mukharjee has given a fantastic performance as Michelle. I don’t think that any other Indian actress would have managed to give such a powerful performance. Amitabh Bachchan is Simply Fabulous. I don’t have enough words to praise him.
Finally, the moral of the story
In watching the settings of the movie, most of you have forgotten to notice what the story is trying to tell. A life of Deaf-Dumb-Blind is so difficult. Most of us are living healthy lives & cannot even imagine what a handicapped life must be!
This is purely my view. Let me know your thoughts on Black in the comments.
