Black - Review

Brilliant ! One word to sum up Amitabh Bachchan's performance in this movie.

Amitabh Bachchan has proved time and again that he still has it in him after so many years. KBC was his comeback vehicle after forgettable performances in movies like 'Lal Badshah' ( which I thought was Amitabh's biggest mistake). This time, its 'Black' that has taken Amitabh to a entirely new zone. The phoenix rises again from the proverbial ashes.

Just when you thought Amitabh was getting typecast in his new post-KBC avatar, he manages to break free from it. Seems Amitabh mentioned in an interview that he cant see himself beyond 'Black'. Well Mr. Amitabh, having seen you do this time and over, we know we can expect more like this. Hats off!

Also have to mention about:

The lil girl (Ayesha)- Simply awesome
The mom - Refreshingly natural. Pleasantly surprised at the importance given to the role.

I havent been a big fan of Sanjay Leela Bhansali after Devdas!! I hated that movie. (possibly because I can not see Shahrukh cry.. He's one of the worst criers in the world. And he does that so often too ). This movie takes him up a notch too.

So, anyone reading these posts? Need comments to improve. Or I am still going to keep writing like this.
