Hope in Sight & Rani's great role!!

Rani Mukerji & Amitabh Bachchan in Bhansali's film 'Black' (2005).

On 'World Sight Day', I remembered great performance of pretty Rani Mukerji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's offbeat film 'Black' (2005). This was inspired from the real life of blind academic & activist Helen Keller! In this film Rani portrayed blind-deaf girl very intensely which touched the heart!

In this film Rani superbly shared frame with legendary Amitabh Bachchan who did the role of her teacher. This critically acclaimed film was premiered at 'Cannes film festival' and got admiration internationally!

Rani Mukerji's touching performance in 'Black' (2005).

'Black' won National Awards of Best film, costume design & to actor Amitabh Bachchan! And Rani won 'Filmfare Best Actress'; But missed her national award which that time Sarika won for film 'Parzania'! Actually Amitabh's role (latter comes in Alzheimer) was sympathetic. Compare to that, Rani was the real protagonist of that film and she was deserving national award for her powerful performance!

I admired Rani for that role, which is her career best performance!
