Black and White - Notepad
posted in Hindi Movies, Movie Notes, meetu |This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.
Quick Review
A compilation of absolutely boring lectures delivered by largely dull characters. A half-decent plot ain’t good enough to make a gripping movie.
Rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do

Plot Summary
A Jihadi (Anurag Sinha) is sent to India to blow up the Red Fort in Delhi on Independence day. Does he succeed? What he goes through? Watch if you must in Black and White.
What worked
- One slight fraction of a scene where time was spent in explaining the economics of fanaticism.
What didn’t
Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here
- The “Haay Allah” song hardly had any audible strings but the guy on screen was strumming away.
- Anil Kapoor’s make-up.
- Screen-time given to Gafar bhai (grandfather) was just way too much. It didn’t add anything to the end product.
- Cuts of Anurag Sinha’s still photographs that looked like they were clicked for the promos being inserted in the “main chala” song - very amateurish.
