MUMBAI: Oscar nominated psychological thriller Black Swan will release in India on 4 March.

The film, directed by Darren Aronofsky, stars Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, and Mila Kunis.

Black Swan revolves around Nina (Portman), a ballerina with a prestigious New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance.

When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Nina is his first choice. But she has competition in the form of a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well.

Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace and the Black Swan who represents guile and sensuality. While Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly, Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

Swan Lake has already won a Golden Globe and BAFTA award for Best Actress and has bagged 5 Oscar nominations (best picture, best actress, best director, best cinematography and best film editing), apart from receiving standing ovations at numerous international film festivals.
