Reeler Ticket Giveaway: Opening Night of Independence World Cinema Showcase

The Reeler's friends at the Museum of the Moving Image are what you might call busy--a Beastie Boys retrospective here, a Robert Altman retrospective there--and they are only getting busier this weekend as they launch their weekly Independence World Cinema Showcase. And in keeping with their generous spirit, I have a pair of tickets to Friday's opening night film Black that I feel privileged to give away to a lucky reader.

OK, so "luck" may have little to do with it. All you really need to do is be the first to answer a question about director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's acclaimed 2005 tearjerker, in which Bollywood icon Rani Mukherjee portrays a blind deaf-mute who learns to see the world through the instruction of her hardened (but loving!) teacher Amitabh Bachchan. The film won eight Indian Oscars and further expanded its stars' international legends, with Mukherjee in particular going above and beyond by wearing dark contact lenses that discolored her famous eyes.

Which leads me to the Big (if Simple) Question: What color are Rani Mukherjee's famous eyes? The first to respond accurately in the comments wins the tickets to Friday's series opener in Astoria.
