A Still from 'Black' |
This is just the beginning of their relationship. He also brings her up to a level where she gains admission to a college for normal kids. Unfortunately for Michelle, Debraj starts to suffer from the Alzheimer disease at this point. He goes out of her life and eventually when they meet after 11 years, he has fallen prey to the disease completely. He has forgotten everything. The roles are now reversed and she takes it upon herself to bring back his lost world!
To say that Bhansali has extracted superb performances from his cast would be an understatement. Rani undoubtedly has given an award winning performance. Bachchan follows. Even Shernaz Patel, who plays her mother, Nandana Sen, who plays her sister, and Ayesha Kapur (junior Michelle) are outstanding as well. The film has a lot of special moments. It is difficult to pick and choose. But Nandana Sen’s wedding and engagement sequence, and the scene in which Rani asks Bachchan to kiss her on the lip to make her feel complete as a woman are very touching. Cinematography by Ravi K. Chandran is truly international. A film definitely worth watching!
