B.L.A.C.K

A movie that will open your eyes.

Not for many years has there been such a movie in the Hindi (Indian) Film Industry. A movie which makes you think of only superlatives when you describe it & silence you when you recollect scenes from the movie.

The story is of an Anglo-Indian girl called Michelle McNally (who is both blind & deaf) and her mentor (who is a recovering alcoholic). The story takes you through Michelle's early life, her inability to know what is happening & her teacher's role in shaping her life & her future.

A truely inspirational movie, if there ever has been.

Technically, it's a masterpiece. There is no part of the movie where you feel that the movie could have done without this. Rani Mukherjee (playing Michelle) and Amitabh Bachchan (playing her mentor) have perhaps given the finest performances of their careers. Especially Rani, who has put in a stellar performance!

If there is one movie you should not miss, this is one!

Make sure you carry a few Kleenex with you... It's a tear jerker. Now go watch it!
