The physically disabled relate to 'Black'.
Thirteen-year old Reshu Jain was brimming with joy as she stepped out of the Fun Republic in Chandigarh, after watching Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Black'.Restless and panicky, the medically "hyperactive" girl did not know how to react and who to talk to. Overwhelmed though, she couldn't utter a word. So she reacted violently, quite like the deaf, dumb and blind Rani Mukherjee in Bhansali's film. It was only later that one learnt of Reshu Jain's ailment from her teachers. She suffers from what the protagonist of Bhansali 'Black' suffers.
Like Reshu, 350 other physically disabled children who saw the film on the same day, also enjoyed every bit of it.
While one wondered how the visually disabled children from local Institute for the Blind related to the film, Sanjeev, a Class XII student of the institute reasoned, "We paint the visuals on the basis of the spoken words. It's easy for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the film which teaches us to look ahead in life."
