Known for his larger than life cinema showman Subhash Ghai returns after 3 years as a director with a film BLACK & WHITE. Last when he wielded the megaphone was for KISNA, which bombed at box-office. Known for his 'masala' potboilers, especially when it comes to films directed by him, Ghai has taken a realistic route with BLACK N WHITE as he tackles the subject of terrorism with the film. One more excitement about this movie is that Subhash Ghai and Anil Kapoor return after 9 years gap; last they worked together for TAAL. With this film Anurag Sinha makes his debut and other cast of the film includes Shefali Chhaya and Aditi Sharma. Sukhwinder Singh has composed the music while Ibrahim Ashq is the lyricist.
Synopsis :
What does BLACK & WHITE mean?
Two colours?
Two extremes?
Two polarities?
Obviously about contrasts, BLACK & WHITE epitomizes the black and white psyche – a psyche that refuses to see shades beyond the two. A mind that is literally colour-blind, imagine when the colours of rainbow confront a man whose mind has always been conditioned to see only black and white. It is nothing short of an earth-shaking experience.
BLACK AND WHITE is an emotional drama that entertains for sure but leaves the audience with a lofty message for all humanity in search of harmony amidst diversity. In that sense BLACK AND WHITE is an idea whose time has come. Just what the world needs, perhaps. And when a thought-provoking theme such as this one comes straight from the heart, it holds a special place in the mindscapes.
