Recensione di abhishek-saha

Black suffers from the same flaws as previous Sanjay Leela Bhansali movies. It is too long, too loud, too sentimental and somewhat boring.

That said though, it still stands out as one of the better recent Hindi movies.

The high points of the movie are undoubtedly the acting and the cinematography. Amitabh Bacchan and Rani Mukherjee give excellent performances and several simply shots stand out. However the sloppy screenplay makes several vital moments of the film seem a tad contrived, and in many places where subtlety is called for, Bhansali chooses to go over the top.

This could have been a great movie- the central idea is fresh and the story touching- but ultimately only manages to be a decent one.
