Even I had liked ‘Black’ when I had watched it for the first time! And then I saw ‘Miracle Worker’. Realized how Bhansali has over-dramatized the original with his usual grandeur. If you thought Bachchan was good, take a look at Anne Bancroft’s performance — its sensational.

I finally saw Black directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
I also saw the original ‘Miracle worker’ which came in 1960 ‘s.

Till now i had lot of respect for his work. But now…?
He should have at least tell the media and the ppl who praise him that it’s not the original script but he got the inspiration from some old movie.
Did he ever tell that? I’m not up to date regarding bollywood movies…

Why is he trying to take credit for something he doesn’t create.

Anita, I agree completely with your assessment of 'Black'. I loved it too! And my review of the movie uses exactly the same sentiment... 'Black is beautiful!' :-)

Black is amazing. I do agree…said d same thing on my blog. It tries to show that physically handicapped ppl need something more than our sympathy, they need the status of a normal human being.

After reading a couple of blogger reviews I couldnt help but watch it right away. Although the theater had just about 10–15 people (I went on a Monday evening at a local AMC theater in Chicago), the movie was simply superb. Amazing acting by all three (Rani, Amitabh and Ayesha) and I was totally awed at Shernaz’s role. She has a very pleasing personality that gave her role even more substance.

I watched the movie last Sunday and I found it to be really good. But there were times when I felt that Rani could have subdued a bit in her portrayal of Michelle. Her walk could have been a little better as I felt she was doing a Charlie Chaplin especially when she was walking with the umbrella (her shoes added to that!). However, breaking away from the “regulars” (without a soundtrack) and with a brilliant background score, SLB sure did a great job! A double thumbs-up!
