Black

Till a few weeks back the word black didn't mean anything other than a color which I usually wear to hide the few extra pounds I carry. And all of a sudden, the word got transformed into a great movie which showed me a different meaning of BLACK.

BLACKwhat a feeling, what a voice, what a sense! It looks at the certain aspects of the Indian cinema and shows the sensitive area of our society that we had never tried to see before.
