This Black has more colour......

"Black" is one of my favourite films. And this is one of the best scenes of the film. Of course there is no doubt in the fact that one of the factors that makes this scene very memorable is the tremendous acting skills exhibited by Rani Mukherjee. But more than that what touched me was the manner in which Sanjay Leela Bhansali portrayed the relationship between the teacher and student. The apprehension on Amitabh Bachchan's face while his student goes through the interview symbolises the anxiety which every teacher feels when his/her student passes out from the institution, the anxiety to see them well placed in life. It also beautifully captures the emotion of a student for whom a teacher is not just somebody who imparts education but a person who becomes a guiding light in his/her life.
Since I have enjoyed the company of a teacher who is quite like Mr Sahai, there is all the more reason for me to enjoy this scene. I get chocked with emotion each time Rani Mukherjee says "T...." in the film.
Shalini teacher, this one's for you........
