One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

First of all i would like to thank Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali for presenting an excellent article based on an EXTRA-ORDINARY person's struggling life who has learned to live with independently in this hardly world. Secondly i will thanking to Mr. Amitabh Bachchan who acted so brilliant in this movie as a teacher & shows us the proper way how to teach an EXTRA-ORDINARY student. Thirdly again thanking to Ms. Rani Mukherjee for her outstanding acting in a very tough character where she successfully rolled as a special lady. Actually there has no any question how talent or brilliant are Mr. Amitabh & Ms. Rani but the real fact is how they represent them in a different story-line which is totally opposites as their normal filming role. Really they done it with a fantastic art.Form this movie we learned 2 very crucial lesson. Firstly: how to deal with a special human with loving care & Secondly: nothing is impossible for a human-being whatever he or she is, special or normal.Subject & filming both combination given this movie perfection and it's total credits goes to Mr. Rajoo for his good story-line & Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali for well direction.By the way, i am very surprised to think, why this awesome creation not goes to Oscar? I don't know, what was the reason mean Mr. Director didn't submitted it to Oscar board or he has submitted but for some unknown reason it is not selected for nomination by the jury? Anyway, thanks for reading my review & before go last thing to say to all the movie lover: "WATCHING MOVIE, always placed it to no1 in your hobby list cause movie is the mirror of society which always reflects our daily activities.Thank You.

THE VOICE OF SILENT FINGERS: B.L.A.C.K''I will attach a wing to her, and I will teach her to fly'' says Debraj Sahai. What does the word ''black'' refer to you? Is it darkness and drowning? The word of fear and harbinger of doom? Or the only color that blind people see? No. Not at all. ''It is a color of achievement, it is a color of knowledge and the color of graduation vest'' says Michelle, whose world is full of light. From the beginning of the world people have been scared of the word or the appearance of black because it always aroused a feeling of misdoing, hopelessness and emotional distance. Yet, I believe that after watching the BLACK, as I recommend you drastically, you will assign a different meaning to the word. The film begins with Michelle Mcnally, a blind and deaf woman, visiting her teacher Debraj Sahai who has an Alzheimer's disease. Then film goes to past with the usage of flashback technique.Michelle is a tetchy girl. She doesn't know how to eat dinner with her family, she doesn't know how to behave a baby or how to share her feelings with other people. She was awarded with blindness and deafness when she was just a little baby though so how can we judge her behaviors because of this
While I was watching the movie all I can thing was what a challenging life for Michelle and her desperate parents. So I have a question for you. Which way would you prefer to communicate with a person who doesn't see and hear you? Wouldn't be that person as fearful as a newborn gazelle? Michelle grows up more and more frustrated by black and darkness around her which makes her violent, uncontrollable eight years old child. Then a miracle happiness. A magician shows up in her life. Her 'Tea..'
Debraj Sahai is the person and a teacher who pulls her to the light. They starts a journey which could never end until their last breath because Debraj devotes his 18 years of his life to Michelle. They can't be separated. They are like one soul in different bodies
There were some scenes which you can get angry to Debraj because of his ways of teaching. But if you be patient, after every lesson you can see the enormous results on Michelle. I bet your anger will turn into appreciation. Being grateful and determined guides you how to reach to the success. Do not put the word ''impossible'' in your world like Michelle because there is not such a thing like impossible. If it would be impossible, God would never put us through anything that we are not able to do and all of those obstacles that we face with. Your world is not black, it is full of light. You just have to know how to turn on the lights

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!!!

Not surprisingly, many people feel this movie has been over-rated. And its true.The story of a blind girl, a social outcast changed by a great teacher should have been a much more beautiful story with great talents to act the parts. Anyone could have done better than Bacchan. He totally overacted in this one. And why not? No director seems to have control over him, for many would blindly go and buy tickets if they see his name in a film. hence the director seems to have left him on his own.And what about the kid? She has a lot of potential, but directorji has misused her to look like a crazy kid instead of a blind girl. .the only sensible thing in this movie is Mukherjee. She has played her part to the fullest. but she cannot stop me from saying THIS MOVIE ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!!! watch only if u are forced to!
