have you seen the light?

Spell bound with strong throat chocking emotions, imagery that blows out imagination, a story of a young blind-deaf girl who is taught to See the Light, who is taught to re-write her otherwise BLACK fate, the best of Indian Cinema in recent times is here... BLACK.

BLACK portrays how a teacher makes a blind-deaf girl understand the concept of 'seeing light' or roshini. The movie has been extremely well-handled by Sanjay Leela Bansali, and he is at his best ever. With no doubt, 2005's great offering to Indian Cinema.

Amitabh's best
- showing signs for Bull-Shit
- first meeting withMichelle and his reaction to the broken plate 'interesting'
- pouring water on her face 'that will cool you down'
- 'what do you see in my eyes Ms.Nair, you must have yours checked, and this one'
- the slow old-aged dance in the climax to show celebration
..he has blown out the audiences' mind with his performace in BLACK, a true comeback by Amitabh.

Rani's best
- The 'sign-dance' night
- the completely white painted building, where Rani hold's AB's hand out of the window to 'feel water', note her expression in this scene, truly amazing
- teaching friends at college the signs for Butterfly, Bee...

Ravi K Chandran's best
- The snowing shot used in the promos
- Climax window shot in complete white
- The sign-dance night shots

Ayesha Kapoor as young Michelle depicts excellently close to a real blind-deaf girl. Apart from her angered reactions, the cake scene is one of her bests. Scenes of Shernaz Patel as Mrs.Paul McNelly are when the whole theatre would sob. I found that the audience did not react to the intermission. Everyone is spell bound and seated tight untill their reflexes need to show-people-around that he or she was okay and there was no water-logging in the eyes. Really? yes, watch the movie for the experience.

I have watched it twice in theatre and will go again
... to see Michelle's light go brighter than the shining sun.
