I have seen the original Hollywood movie and Black is a shoddy remake...unbelievable at times. Especially the way the teacher forcebly decided to stay and the way Rani Mukherji walked. Is she copying Charlie Chaplin or what....as if copying the movie wasn't enough. I cannot believe the copycats in our film industry. This movie is just as bad as all other plagiarised hindi movies. When will they learn to be original? No wonder they never win Oscars or any other International awards. Shame on the filmmaker! I have no bagful of praises for this movie.

Lots of scenes are copied frame to frame, especially the one where little Rani is running amock in the dining room and Amitabh is trying to teach her to use a spoon.

I will try to catch that movie. Although the concept might be borrowed, I will be thoroughly disappointed if the movie is copied frame-by-frame. <b>Chetan</b> - Copy allegations shouldn't stop you from seeing Black.
