What Black & White is about???

Subhash Ghai, the recognizable showman and the producer of many unforgettable masala movies, comes up with an important, uncompromising, appropriately titled ‘Black And White’.
Back & White is about a menacing suicide bomber who has a alteration of heart and mind after observing the harmony-in-diversity of the gracious people of Chandni Chowk. Anurag Sinha plays a terrorist from an Afghan terror camp that comes to Delhi on a toxic mission. His target is Red Fort. And he will execute his mission on 15 August. The prospective bomber takes shelter in the house of a well-mannered and wise poet (Habib Tanvir) in Chandni Chowk in Delhi and passes himself off as Numer Qazi, a victim of Gujarat riots. In the same locality exist the Urdu professor Rajan Mathur (Anil Kapoor who also featured in Andaz movie) and his sharp-tongued social activist wife Roma (Shefali Shah). Rajan, who firmly believes in religious broadmindedness and secularism, takes a liking to the quiet and forbidding Numer.In the days leading up to his mission, Numer encounters a number of friendly characters in Chandni Chowk, including a pretty girl Shagufta (Aditi Sharma) who falls for him. The morose and stonehearted Numer struggles with his sentiments. On top of it, professor Rajan, his wife Roma and the well-mannered poet give Numer a different viewpoint of life.
As days pass, Numer finds himself in an unanticipated quandary. On one hand are his deep-rooted fundamentalist beliefs. On the other hand is a faint spark of love, and values of mutual tolerance and humanity that take root in his heart.‘Black And White’ could easily have fallen into the trap of being a preachy film. Though the film does have a few such moments, it mostly manages to steer clear of the expected, in-your-face clichés that a Bollywood film with a message of communal harmony could have easily pandered to. And the credit for this should go to its director Subhash Ghai, who shows commendable restraint in handling the sensitive subject.
The only time Ghai seems to lose his grip over the plot is in the last half hour of the film when the screenplay is contrived to the director’s convenience. It is in a few of these portions leading up to the climax that the movie becomes unreal and unconvincing.
The film’s leading man Anurag Sinha exudes a simmering intensity befitting his character of a terrorist. The newcomer has few dialogues in the film, yet he gives a palpable persona to his Numer. A notable debut indeed. Anil Kapoor keeps himself carefully restrained for most part of his role. Shefali Shah is terrific in a brief role. Aditi Sharma just about manages not to ham. Theatre veteran Habib Tanvir towers with his screen presence and imposing voice.
