Review of Black

Black (2005)
5/10
Frame to Frame Copy
17 March 2005
You know..earlier i used to be a big fan of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, after HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM and DEVDAS. But know i think he is a fluke director who has a visual sense. Trying to make every frame look beautiful. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam had major flaws,like trying to make Hungry into Italy.Devdas was a remake.Black is in parts frame to frame copied from MIRACLE WORKER, i didn't expect at least that of Mr. Bhansali.The Alzheimer part was a bit of IRIS. His next BAJIRAO MASTANI is again an old story. Working with material which exists seems to be his formula. Where are the original ideas?Now they have started mixing old films into a cocktail, like KISNA or BLACK. Even if Karan Johar makes sugar candy sweet kind of cinema, where the nearest possibility is diabetes...he is at least trying to be original. Bhansali started well with KHAMOSHI...but well. You do everything to maintain the respect you think you have earned by fooling the audience.i guess he is laughing how stupid the people are, who praise BLACK into 7th heaven.
