Thanks to everyone for helping me out. My problem is solved. – Deep Nandi Jun 20 '17 at 04:03

This polished look can be achieved with a black diffuse shader and a white glossy shader (roughness = 0), letting a fresnel node set the mix between them using a mix shader.

3One important thing to note when dealing with dark shiny objects like this is that the environment around them plays a crucial role. Realated: https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/50576/1853 – Jun 19 '17 at 20:38

First, you need a dense geometry. A mesh with a lot of faces to blend the reflections smoothly.
Second, about the sharp reflection, you have to use a shader with gloss/roughness settings. Set the roughness to very low, and you will have very sharp reflections.

You don't really need that many faces. Just make sure you mark them as smooth. – dr. Sybren Jun 19 '17 at 21:39

I don't even need to set anything to smooth if I only have 1 single face, and if I wanted a straight mirror. – TeaCrab Jun 20 '17 at 03:55

Use Cycles nodes, like Glass shader, and give high IOR, like 50, for the reflections

1As the result aiming to in the question most likely is intended to be realistic this won't work as IOR can't be on that value – Mr Zak Jun 19 '17 at 13:01

@Mr Zak Is that so? When I give it, Blender accepts it. Try it. The default IOR is too low – Lukasz-40sth Jun 19 '17 at 13:13

3The fact that Blender accepts it doesn't mean it's correct way to do this – Mr Zak Jun 19 '17 at 13:35
