It has been a long wait for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next film and believe me ‘Black’ is worth the wait. This film is special and brings about strange stirrings in your heart, although it tends to get on your nerves in the first half hour.
It feels like one is watching a play and Mr. Bachchan gives enough reason for that. His performance in this bit reminds one of ‘Aks’ and that is not very encouraging! However, the fate of the film at the box office is sealed- it is not a film for the masses. So the collections may not be encouraging at all. But that doesn’t take away the fact that it is a well-crafted film and is very high on emotions. It grips the viewer despite the lack of sex, skin, and songs in it. In hindsight, one does miss the fantastic music that Bhansali’s films are so famous for.
