It’s been 16 years since the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2005 film, Black, starring Rani Mukerji and Amitabh Bachchan. The film, said to be ahead of its time, was a masterpiece which won several accolades, including National Awards in different categories.
Black, which saw Rani Mukerji playing the challenging role of a hearing and visually-impaired girl alongside Amitabh Bachchan, wasn’t just a landmark film in the actor’s career, but also in Sanjay’s genre of filmmaking. The willpower of the female character redefining human emotions was beautifully presented on screen. A storyteller par excellence, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known for bringing to us larger-than-life cinema in the most beautiful way.
The critically-acclaimed film not just impressed the audiences not just back home in India, but globally as well.
