I got the chance to watch this movie today. Since it was much talked about movie of this year, it was natural to know the verdict. Yesterday I saw the reviews posted by few peoples and most of them had recommended the movie except one, someone like Sai etc. I thought that this guy must have done good job and was a bit lesser enthusiastic before going to hall. Also I had disliked the performances in Devdas except madhuri’s. But Black came to me as a wonderful experience!
Black is Bright, Black is Best whatever I have seen on the name of Cinema...Black stands as the finest one with it’s screenplay, impossible to describe performance by Amitabh Bachchan (Perhaps it could be the best ever seen in world cinema), excellent from Rani Mukherji ( She shows that she the best actress of the current cinema world we have) and amazing surprise actor Baby Ayesha( She will make you think that she was really by birth handicapped)! And the man behind them..absolutely Sanjay leela Bhansali.
In short I write the points over Black:
1) Undisputedly best popular hindi movie.
2) Undisputedly best performances. From Amitabh to Rani to Ayesha, ....watch them and I bet you forget other actors. Amitabh has become immortal with this movie. He can’t be described in words..better watch the movie.
3) Undisputedly best director: As he handles such a sensitive issue with golden heart and honesty. It’s tough to make such movie, but he has made it. Every sceen of this movie has got such a in depth knowledge in details that you will really think that art of cinema making needs intellectual peoples and not the boor peoples, which are usually present in bollywood. The literary excellence and knowledge of all the Sanjay Bhansali is clear behind this movie.
4) Theme of the movie:
You an see this movie with different angles. this movie is a great true unconventional love story. Mind it..it’s a love story movie! True love story between an Old man and a Young lady. The man who is everything for her. Her soul! What else could be the purest love?
This movie is over a Teacher and his Pupil. Same time this movie is about the real senses from whih we are mostly getting devoid. This movie is about how one could shape a life, life which is really beautiful and perhaps much beautiful without eyes.
I bet any one with a bit of sense would simply say that I am in love with BLACK after seeing this movie.
Best Sceens:
Amitabh’s entry to Ayeshya’s life.
Amitabh throws Ayesha in water and thereafter she realises the first mode of communication, and says ’’ Mah’’. And turns back for the person whom she was strange to...who had made this word out of her heart...his tutor..Debraj Sahay. In this whole sequence you can say what’s greatness. It moistens your eyes with joy.
5) The girl start’s learning. This girl is really a great discovery. Such a lovely little girl!
6) Rani learns dancing and dances in party.
7) When Rani is interviewed and she describes the meaning of ’’Knowledge’’ to the jury for admission into the college. The moment she says ’’ My god is my knowledge and my teacher is my knowledge’’. Watch the very character’s face during this time.
8) Amitabh in time is attacked by Alzheimer’s which he thinks it could be due to old age.
9) When Amitabh gets sad with rani’s failure and says that I am old and don’t know anytime I when feather could drop and I wish to see my student flying before I fall. This whole sceen is extremely touching and so is Rani.
10) The kiss sceen between Amitabh and Rani and goes out of Rani’s life.
11) Amitabh as Alzheimer’s patient.
12) The role reversal and the day when diseased Amitabh watches his dream getting fulfilled. Rani’s felicitation function and appearance with degree before her God, her Teacher.
13) The last sceen where Amitabh and rani touch the water again and the camera goes away.
14) Each and every sceen of this movie. The minutest of details have been cared of like..the accent the way Amitabh have spoken the dialogues in english, , , which shows his character and attitude to say war against defeat to win.
A proper british style pronounciation with proper up down of breath with suitable breaks. excellent..this is the perfection at the minutest! And you see this all and start abusing the directors who made Mrityudata Laal Badshah etc kind of movie with Amitabh Bachchan. And yes..beware after seeing Rani here you may start praying that at least you get such chance to meet someone like her and fall in love with such a beautiful soul and winner. She is so great.
It would be injustice to describe this movie and the grandness of it’s dimensions in this small space.
It’s great feeling to watch this movie.
Watch it..the depth and beauty is impeccable!
No songs, and you don’t need song coz this movie is so lively in itself that it’s a song in itself....a song which hindi cinema will remember forever with pride.
