Finally!

Isawblackisawblackisawblack!And,I must say,i was not let down!

From the past 3 months or so,I'd been hearing accounts of my friends and relatives who saw the movie.All of them agreed on one point;The movie is mind blowing.At last,I got to see the movie.After all that praise,it seems cliched to say that the movie was out of the world,but you gotta say what you gotta say.

To imagine a world of darkness for life was scary,but what was more scary was the point where Amitabh Bachchan starts forgetting simple things,like the way back to his house.Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has done a great job.I'm sooooooooooo glad Rani Mukherjee played the main protagonist.Aishwarya Rai wouldn't have been able to do justice to the role.

Here's a summary of the story;

This is the tender story of two soul mates: eight-year-old Michelle McNally, born to an Anglo-Indian family and deaf-blind after an illness at the age of eighteen months; and 48-year-old Debraj Sahai, an eccentric alcoholic and teacher to the deaf-blind. Debraj takes on the task of teaching the bright but violent Michelle. His unorthodox approach eventually succeeds, but he is diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease just when he is beginning to make progress with his student. Now, the roles are reversed, and it is Michelle who must help Debraj fight the devastating effects of Alzheimer's.

I loved the movie Black. I haven't cried in a movie theatre in a long time, the last I remember I cried in a theatre was when I was a 7-8 years old. But I just couldn't hold my tears this time....
Good review. Kudos Anamika
Way to go Bhansali.
