Black

I found my way to the theatre to watch BLACK. What a stupendous movie it is. Amazing performances by the whole crew. Take it from Ayesha to Amitabh, from Sanjay to Ravi K Chandran, it is a complete stunner. There were no songs in the film, no romantic elements, and no comedy track(though when Amitabh does magic with 'Bull Shit' everyone breaks into laughter). The story is wound around a deaf and blind girl Michelle(played by Ayesha and Rani) and his teacher Sahay(played by Amitabh). Both of them have performed very well on this meaty role. Sanjay Leela Bhansali who is known to use colors has chosen Black this time.

Ravi K Chandran needs a special mention here. His work with the camera is prodigious. He is known for his cinematography in Dil Chahtha Hai, Aayudha Ezhu-th-thu and Boys. There is one scene where Shenaz(Michelle's mother) would talk to Amitabh across a glass door. If you have noticed it Amitabh would completely be captured by reflection on the glass door. That is one amazing example.

Ayesha, the debutante is from Pondycherry lives at Auroville. She has delivered a fabulous performance for a new-comer. One of my friends asked 'Is she really a deaf and blind kid?'. So is her performance. She just stuns you all through the movie with her performance.

இன்று ரசித்தது

மழை
நதி
விதை...
விழுவதால் எழுபவை இவை.
நீ மட்டும் ஏன்
விழுந்த இடத்தில்
உனக்கு நீயே
கல்லறை கட்டுகிறாய்?

---

நீ
வெற்றிபெற்றதாய் நினைக்கும்
பல இடங்களில்
தோல்விதான் அடைந்திருப்பாய்...
நீ
தோற்றுப் போனதாய் நினைக்கும்
பல தருணங்களில்
வெற்றிதான் பெற்றிருப்பாய்...
உணர்ந்துகொள்
நீ தோல்வியடைந்தது வாழ்க்கையிலில்லை
புரிதலில்.

காட்டாறு கரைபுரண்டு வருகிறதா
நாணலாய் மாறு
புயல்க்காற்று புறப்படுகிறதா
புல்லாய் மாறு..
தொட்டாச்சிணுங்கியாய் இருப்பதும்
பச்சோந்தியாய் மாறுவதும் கூட
மனிதநேயத்தை
நீ
மறுதலிக்காதவரை தவறில்லைதான்.
