Black (2005)
9/10
Visually enthralling, warmhearted poetry unveiled, Amitabh's best so far.
5 February 2005
Black may not be the perfect movie of the year or a flawless attempt at portraying human emotions through a blind eye, but what it leaves us is a great impression by taking us through the journey of two very maturely crafted characters. Visually stunning, SLB recreates his passion for grandeur in art direction & sets (although this movie didn't quite need it). A 2 hr movie without songs & sensible plot with just minimal characters who completely convince you of the pain they undergone, BLACK is a fiction but a convincing poetry on Canvas how a struggle by a teacher to bring back an 8 yr blind,deaf,dumb girl to life. The relationship between the two is perhaps never been portrayed before., sometimes controversial (the kiss scene between amitabh & rani) This particular scene has been made with a lot of guts & full marks to SLB.

The movie has got its many flaws but again I don't see a point in criticizing this movie at all; the fact that you now have a product which has come a long away from the clichés of bollywood masalas is a great achievement & attempt in itself & we need to encourage such movies.

Go watch BLACK & try not to watch for defects but for the sheer pain & passion of one of the very few genuine directors we have on hand today.Watch BLACK for Amitabh - India's answer to Al Pacino! After this you perhaps cannot accept to see such a talent wasted in the many cameos hes done in the recent past
