TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

muvi-fan-73 The movie is inspired from original story between Helen Keller & Anne Mansfield Sullivan. There is one more version available introduced as 'The Miracle worker'. Thank God that Sanjay Leela Bhansali made a bollywood version, otherwise I would have never known. I thank everybody who brings this kind of cinema to bollywood. Even if they are not original at international level, they are still original to us here at bollywood.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Direction along with filming locations are really chosen well. The movie has not got any songs like other bollywood movies but there is music. All this together make this movie a great treat.The movie has got all the great actors acting in it. Everybody has acted well. I would further add Ayesha Kapur stood exceptional with her acting.I have watched the movie more than once. The first time was the best treat and I have rated movie as per that. Watch it, you won't be disappointed.

Movie Reviewer This is such an excellent and touch movie!!! Awesome performances by the living legend Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee. Made my heart melt. If you are a person of sentiments, bonding and feelings of compassion for fellow beings, then this movie is definitely for you. Any amount of words cannot describe the effort put by these actors into their roles. Amitabh is great as always. Rani Mukherjee has blown me away with her super-duper performance. Her expressions, her feelings, be it pain or anger or love, she expresses it beautifully. It's just too touching to watch her the way she justified her role. If anyone is worth watching other than Amitabh, then it's her. Even the other actors and actresses did a very good job but the entire credit goes to Amitabh and Rani, as far as acting is concerned. I watched the movie "My brother Nikhil" just after watching this movie and it tore up my heart. So touching are these movies!!!

rotildao Wonderful photography and nicely acted this movie tells the story of perseverance bringing us into a new world covered by emptiness of being.The narrative is old fashioned which is a good thing, for the theme's harshness become sort of mild to swallow, and tastes good in the end.The best things in Black are the visual spectacles and the strong performance by Amitabh Bachchan, a veteran actor with the caliber of Alec Guiness, who might be remembered as the narrating voice in Lagan.A fine well constructed story that keeps dignity of not being a tearjerker as an appellative formula, specially judging the theme which usually tend to take that path.For the humble and the ever learner! Enjoy!

deepster Its a bit late for me to post this review. But memories were rekindled after the Saawariya fiasco of the apparently great Sanjay Leela Bansali. I was in India at that time, and many people talked about Black as if no one every made a movie like that ever. First of all its a remake, so attributing a "genius" tag to Bansali is uncalled for. I also did not appreciate the fact that he did not admit to the fact that it is a remake of The Miracle Worker. I mean, be a man. Tell the world you are making a remake. Secondly, in Bollywood, overacting means good acting seems to be the norm. Rani was as shrill as you can see. You can paint emotion but if the colors just bleed than it looses its grace. Bansali just went overboard. Some scenes make no sense. The empty rooms with slide images portrayed in the background. The needless filled sets. They distracted more. The film has its moments. Especially the one where Rani meets AB after a long time. I will not go into more details for the sake of those who haven't seen it (yet). In the same week, I had the good fortune of seeing Million Dollar Baby and.. boy.. what a difference. To see how emotions are handled subtly.. now THAT was a treat. Perhaps Bansali ought to learn from Eastwood.. if he gets down from cloud 9 that is...
