Excerpt: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Hindi: , Gujarati: , pronounced ; 2 October 1869 30 January 1948) was the pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of satyagraharesistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, a philosophy firmly founded upon ahimsa or total nonviolencewhich led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known around the world as Mahatma Gandhi (; Sanskrit: mahtm or "Great Soul", an honorific first applied to him by Rabindranath Tagore), and in India also as Bapu (Gujarati: , bpu or "Father"). He is officially honoured in India as the Father of the Nation; his birthday, 2 October, is commemorated there as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and worldwide as the International Day of Non-Violence. Gandhi first employed non-violent civil disobedience while an expatriate lawyer in South Africa, during the resident Indian community's struggle for civil rights. After his return to India in 1915, he organized protests by peasants, farmers, and urban labourers concerning excessive land-tax and discrimination. Afte...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19379 ...

Cheeni Kum
Cheeni Kum is about 64-year-old Buddhadev Gupta (Amitabh Bachchan), a grouchy uptight owner of London's top Indian restaurant `Spice6.'He meets a 34-year-old unmarried woman by the name of Nina Verma (Tabu).They are both from Delhi, but unexpectedly meet when Nina complains about the Zafrani Pulav while eating at his restaurant.Buddha does not take it well, and after an argument in the restaurant, Nina leaves with her friend in an uproar.Days later, Buddha meets her again outside of the restaurant, and from then on it is a story of their growing relationship and love for each other.They soon decide on marriage, and their biggest struggle is breaking the news to Nina's diabetic father, who is six years younger than Buddha.Her father doesn't respect their decision, and Buddha believes it is due to jealously and envy of their affection for each other.
The Main theme of the movie is "less sugar."Going back to the incident where Nina criticized the dinner, she said that it was too sweet, and real Zafrani Pulav doesn't have sugar.This theme continues throughout the movie.Less sugar equals more originality and purity.They are both single and looking for sexual relations, and during the course of the movie they really don't bead around the bush with sexually expressing themselves.Usually in Bollywood Cinema, the emotions and feelings of the characters are delicately implied, but in Cheeni Kum, the older characters are more mature and outgoing.
One scene that caught my attention was when Buddha's chefs made him a cake and were putting the candles on it, one for each year of his life.They put 64 candles on the cake.While no one was looking, Buddha took off five candles due to his embarrassment of his age.Also, Nina was coming to the restaurant for his birthday, and he didn't want her to find out his true age.One employee, Colgate, tries to tell Nina how old Buddha is, but he shoves cake in his mouth before he can't spit out the words "sixty four."This serves the plot because later Nina's father made Buddha conscious about his age.
Camera angles that caught my attention were the close-ups on the unique and colorful foods in the kitchen of Spice6.So many different foods were being prepared and the shots were amazing in the kitchen.The uses of these shots were to show how luxurious the restaurant is and how much power and responsibility Buddha has.Also, Nina had many follow focus shots when she would walk away from Buddha but look back a couple times to show her affection for him.
Overall, I feel that it was too easy to forecast what was coming next.The conversations between Buddha and Nina are dry, and in their flirtatious actions I notice that there is no real chemistry between them.Also, they decide on getting married after only seeing each other a handful of times.Everything happened too fast, and the structure of a building relationship did not seem realistic during this movie.During the film I was never put on the edge of my seat.My emotions and feelings never changed throughout the whole film, and not one character really caught my attention. Nina was really the only thing I paid attention to because of her stunning looks and personality.

One Lump or Two?
In Balakrishan's Cheeni Kum (2007) love knows no boundaries.Surrounding the "sugar-free romance" of two unlikely individuals, he parades his romantic comedy that both tickles your funny bone and touches your heart.
Buddha (played by Amitabh Bachchan) the 64-year-old, cynical head chef of the" finest Indian restaurant in London", falls for 34-year-old Neena (played by Tabu), a tourist who dines at his restaurant and boldly criticizes its top dish.Take a cup of Buddah's sarcastic banter, mix it with three teaspoons of Neena's flirtatious wiliness and you have a recipe for undeniable romance.
This recipe of perfection is only soured by Neena's father's objection to the marriage and the childish measures he takes in an attempt to spoil their love.Six years Buddha's junior, Neena's father believes that Buddha is a preposterous match for his darling daughter and therefore refuses to eat until the relationship is called off.Buddha's immense strong-will is emphasized through the use of high-angle shots as he attempts to convince Neena's father of his perpetual love for his daughter. Gazing up at Buddha, Neena's father appears inferior- an element foreshadowing his eventual consent.
But the recipe's not finished!Let's not forget a dash of Sexy- Buddah's 9-year-old neighbor and best friend!Amusingly portrayed as Buddah's conscience and confidant, Balakrishan's creation of this sarcastically charming character as well as the play of her relationship with Buddah alongside his relationship with Neena is brilliant.When Buddha and Sexy are seen sitting in the park, low-angle shots accentuate Sexy's towering wisdom over Buddha as she gives him advice about life and love.Here, Sexy seems bigger, an element true to her character but still likely to summon a laugh.
Sexy's role in Buddha's life causes many ironically conflicting events to those concerning his relationship with Neena.Towards the end of the film, the crosscutting between Sexy's life-threatening illness and Neena's dwindling patience creates a sense of incredible intensity.The audience is exposed to the stress of dual responsibility that Buddha is going through and finds themselves just as torn as he is.
Balakrishan does a wonderful job with Cheeni Kum in romanticizing the controversial issue of age gaps in marriage.With a few comic twists, Sugarholics beware; this delightful comedic romance is far from sweet.

Add Handful of love....

Cheeni Kum is not your typical love story. This film is about Buddha, a 64-year-old grumpy chef, of an authentic Indian restaurant, in London, and Neena, 34-year-old woman visiting London, who falls in love. The first encounter is anything but good; Neena is the first person to ever send back a dish, Zafarani Pulao, a traditional Indian dish, at his restaurant saying it is too sweet. Buddha is very upset and approaches Neena. He is very rude in demanding her to tell him how to make the dish correctly, the close up of Neena's face shows that she isn't upset with him, but wants to laugh at him.The next day Neena brings her homemade Zafarani Pulao to Buddha at the restaurant, that is when he started to feel differently about her, because in the scene she leaves in slow motion and she looks back at him one more time before she goes around the corner. After that moment he feels as though he must apologize to her, but he cannot say sorry, so instead he gives her his umbrella. Neena goes to the restaurant daily saying she is there to return the umbrella but never does. Their relationship grows more and they fall in love. Buddah asks Neena to marry him and she accepts but there is a problem, Buddha is 6 years older than her father and he needs his blessing for the two of them to wed. After two days of starvation he finally accepted his offer to marry his daughter.
This movie was not one of my favorites because there was no singing or dancing. It was hard to keep me focused, because the music only came on whenever she was leaving him and was walking away. This movie was too drawn out for me but others might like it because it sticks closely with reality. As the relationship grows you seem them fall more in love with each other, from taking walks in the park, having cute nicknames for each other and getting upset when they don't see each other for a day. It shows in the relationship evolving and becoming something beautiful and different than other love stories.

Read me!!!
The movie "Cheeni Kum", directed by R. Balki, takes place in London, England. The two main characters in the movie are Buddha and Neena. Buddha is the owner and chef of the restaurant that Neena and he first meet at. The reason behind their encounter is that Buddha makes Neena a meal and she disapproves of the meal and sends it back to the kitchen. This of course, makes Buddha mad and he leaves the kitchen to go and confront the unpleasant guest in the dining room, and then it was love at first sight.
The story line behind the movie is very interesting itself. Buddha and Neena fall in love obviously and eventually agree to get married. There is only one issue: her father. See, Buddha is sixty four years old and Neena is thirty four years old. Typically speaking, it is common for an older guy to go after a younger woman these days. The big issue is that Buddha is six years older than Neenas' father and he does not approve the least bit of their marriage. The film goes on to tell the story of how two people fall in love against moral beliefs and have to spend the majority of the film convincing her father to change his mind.
Some of the camera angle views that really helped to intrigue the audience were the over the shoulder shots. The film focused on that shot a lot throughout the film, especially when Neena and Buddha were speaking to one another. It helped to put the focus on just one character and to show their reaction to what the other character was saying. Another shot that was seen a lot was the head and shoulder shot. A lot of the times during the film, the audience was only allowed to see the upper bodies of the characters. I believe that this helps the audience be able to focus on what the characters are doing without risking the chance of being distracted by something in the background and losing focus.
"Cheeni Kum" is a story that involves romance and tragedy. The film never seems to lose the audience's attention and is very easy to follow. The storyline is one that is usually typical with a few unexpected situations thrown in which, overall, make the film more interesting for the audience.

Cheeni Kum is a contemporary love story between a man and woman who are separated by a thirty-year age difference.The movie incorporates a theme of attraction between opposite personalities.Buddha Gupta is an egoistic, condescending chef and the owner of "London's Finest Indian Restaurant".Neena Verma is a pretty, single Indian woman who dines at Buddha's restaurant and is not satisfied with her meal.When Buddha goes to see who this customer is who was not satisfied with his food, he finds Neena.After this rather unusual meeting, a relationship develops between Buddha and Neena who, over time, fall in love.

The night after Buddha initially confronts Neena about her criticism of his Zafrani Pulao, the same dish is sent back to the kitchen.The change in Buddha's curmudgeon personality is immediately noticeable the second he realizes Neena has returned to his restaurant.Neena continues to frequent the restaurant and Buddha continues to look forward to her daily arrival.When the idea of marriage is brought up, the two go to their parents for approval.Buddha's mother is immediately accepting and excited.Neena's father however, is not thrilled with the couple because, as it turns out, he is six years younger than Buddha!

Director R. Balki did a great job with this film.The scene on the evening that Neena does not come to the restaurant, cross-cutting shots go from close-ups of the clock to Buddha's face.The close-ups show the excited anticipation in Buddha's face slowly turn to disappointment as he realizes Neena is not going to show up for dinner.In the end, all is worked out, and love prevails for Neena and Buddha.As a person who loves romantic comedies, I really liked this movie.I believe anyone who enjoys watching a typical romance for entertainment would enjoy this film. ...

6' 9", 315 pound Man,Cried like a schoolgirl
This movie is superb. The acting by Amitabh Bachchan, Ayesha Kapur and Rani Mukherjee were incredible.Amitabh Bachchan's character was different than any other movie that I have seen him in and this shows just how versatile his acting ability is.He is a very seasoned actor and I expected as much.Ayesha Kapur also did an excellent job portraying the younger Michele.To see a child act so well amazed me.But I was most impressed with Rani Mukherjee.This was totally different than when I saw her in Khabhi Khushi... playing Naina.Although she was good in that the details of the emotions that she showed were astounding.She is now one of my favorite actresses!!!!

Masterpiece
This film is simply one of the finest pieces of cinema to be made anywhere in the world in the last 5 years. That's quite an extraordinary thing to say but then Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'BLACK' is an extraordinary film.

It carries some weighty themes and pulls no punches delivering them. At times the film is harsh and even brutal in it's portryal of the life of a combined deaf and blind woman. Exploring not only the perceptions of those who care for her (parents, nannys, etc.) but the perception of the central character herself Michelle locked in her world of darkness.

Rani Mukherjee underplays the character of Michelle with such skill and believeability you are genuinely shocked when she loses her temper and lashes out. Beautifully supported by Ayesha Kapur, as the young Michelle, who achieves remarkable sympathy with her character. Between the two Actors they achieve a fullness of character rarely seen in cinema today.

The supporting cast of Mother (Shernaz Patel), father (Dhritiman Chater) and her sister who feels left out (Nandana Sen) provide wonderful sub plots weaving in and out of the main theme. The script is sharp, biting, honest, brutal and even amusiing at times, more than a match for any of the best script writers Hollywood can throw at you.

Then into the mix add one alcoholic, eccentric teacher played by Amitabh Bachchan who turns in the performance of his life. If he doesn't win an Oscar for this then the motion picture industry needs to ask serious questions of itself. A craftsman at the height of his powers Amitabh creates a character who is at once terrifying, wonderful and yet with a fragile edge that you feel could snap at any point, which created a meanaceing undercurrent in the early part of the film. Then with a subtlety of pure genius Amitabh completely turns this round over the course of the film to play with our heart strings like the master he is.

The film dialogue is a mix of English and Hindi which brings me to my only gripe. The subtitles are grossly inaccurate in places, which is annoying to English speaking audiences. The curios thing is the words are being spoken in English yet the subtitles are saying something totally different in English, makes you wonder what else has been messed up in the subtitles.

The score can be a little overbearing but is still an excellent score. Despite a dissapointing technical blooper this is still a truly remarkable film and I recommend it to anyone.

'BLACK' strides across the gap between Bollywood and Hollywood and leaves 99% of Hollywood films in it's wake. If you only get out to the cinema once every five years, go see this, it's worth every penny of the entrance fee.

BLACK is One OF Amitabh Bachchan's greatest Movies,I enjoyed this DVD,very Quality,The Arabic Subtitles was great too.Go get this dvd :)

An amazing film!
I was blown away by how good this film was. Everything about it was superb, the acting most of all. Ran Mukherjee was phenomenal, i have always been a fan of hers but i never knew that she was capable of this. The fact that it was a remake of the Miracle Worker turned me off a bit, I didn't think that it was a movie that could be remade and done better, but Black did it. It also being a Hindi movie makes it even more extraordinary because now the entire world can see Indian Cinema at its best. This movie is going to sweep every award next season and if this doesn't get any acclaim at the awards show here in the US, then i will have lost all faith in them.

Unending Respect : Mesmerising
The only reason I did not get up and clap at the end of the film was because I was a bit too taken aback by the strange flood of emotions in tears this film brought out from me. I have never seen a film with this torturously significant direction of mind. Amitabh Bachchan might live a hundred years but it is without a doubt in 2005 that he actually reached a level beyond being called "superhuman" His acting is synonmous and quite close to what my faithful description of people's God might be. (I Don't beleive in God mind you)

Rani Mukherjee on the other hand who plays the role of Michelle gives to this film what no actor possibly could have given. She does indeed outshine anything remotely addressed to impress. I lost count of the number of times I shamelessly let out the tears. However, like a lot of illiterate teenagers and middle aged people, I do not call this film depressive. Infact, I call it a challanging inspiration of sorts. After this film, I realised I will watch all movies involving Amitabh Bachchan and more importantly Rani Mukherjee.

To play the life of a human who can't see,hear,touch as well as Rani does for this film is simply unbelievable. The next time I run into Amitabh Bachchan I will make sure I touch his feet. He's the closest to God we'll ever be.

Time and again, I think of the best films I have seen in Bollywood but this one film right here makes them all shudder and sit back 20 rows from the first row that belongs to Black.

The last scene of this film is quite possibly the most emotionally jolting scene I have ever witnessed in my life.It's sad that many people died before watching "Black" or many might not witness the epic.

If you have remotely liked a film in your life,then I order you to watch "Black" No matter who you are and where you reside.
