I start my review with this controversial statement come question!, because this was what I was thinking when I came out of the theatre yesterday after watching the film.
I started comparing with any other movie that I saw in the past15-20years, in theatre which educed such ‘uncontrolled’ emotions in me! and I cant remember any!Credit should be given to Sanjay Leela Bhansali for making another movie Where the theme is on handicapped persons.Coz Even if ‘Khamoshi’ was not a Commercial success, he still believed and backed himself to make this movie. Which was a big gamble!
The film is mind blowing everyone must have read/heard about that! And Its almost a perfect movie, just like the king Roger Federer brushing past his Apponents 6-0 all three sets! And this is one movie having the potential to win the Oscar this year! And if it dosent!, there isn’t a problem with this movie, but with Oscars!
Sanjay has extracted a ‘once in a lifetime’ performance from each and every Actor which I doubt willl ever be on display again.There was a different sanjay apparent in this film as compared to his other works like Devdas which was good film , Khamoshi which was very good and HDDCS which was excellent.But this Film is out of ordinary ! Hardly have I seen a film which has come as above expectations, even after reading all the reviews here and in newspapers no review including this one can do justice or can describe the beauty of the film!
I always considered SLB to be the best we have along with YashChopra, FarhanAkhtar, Subhash Ghai, Vidhu Vinod Chopra , Aditya Chopra and Ashutosh Gowarikar.But all the film by those others seems a joke when compared to ‘Black’!
The industry has been through such a bad phase that last year sumone had the Audacity to say that in India only Shahrukh and Sex sells! By this film SLB have just answered to that by saying ‘We aint gonna allow ‘only’ them to sell! A film without the customary song and dance sequences, without the patent Bollywood ‘masala’, and without sex! It has just managed to be the best film atleast since The last decade!
