Black & White
- Anurag Sinha who plays the lead is just about ok in the film. Its
only during the climax and the last 20 minutes that he does a good job.
He spends the rest of the film frowning and somehow that just isnt
believable enough. He definatly had the look but somehow just wasnt
convincing enough. Playing a terrorist doesnt mean having an angry
expression on your face throughout the movie.
The person who played Gaffar did an excellent job. Very Natural and nothing over the top.
Some of the other actors did a strictly ok job.
Anil Kapoor’s character is a bit too squeaky clean and just not
believable. Anil Kapoor’s fascination with Anurag Sinha just isnt built
up and hence isnt believable. A Dhoomish
attempt at making Anil Kapoor’s relationship with his wife seem natural
by making her yell at him in Bengali is evident. Anil Kapoor overacted
a bit though I guess it isnt 100% his fault which brings us to the next
point.
- Filmy. The cops are chasing a terrorist and Anil Kapoor manages to
catch up with them on his scooter and stands in front of the cops
preventing them from catching a terrorist who had definite plans to
blow up the Red Fort and yet the cops just say "oho hatt jaaeeye na".
Numair’s sudden love for his country is kinda predictable and you can
see it coming all along. Anil Kapoor not reporting that his wife died
to the cops and going to the Red Fort the next day? Yea, Very
believable. Anil Kapoor’s dumb daughter doesn’t communicate using sign
language but with these actions which she learnt at home. hmmmm
- A lot of stuff is explained a bit too much. When the two youth
leaders are talking to the MLA they actually tell you what character
they are playing. A little subtlety would have been good here and in a
lot of other scenes.
- Comparing this movie to Black Friday - Black Friday had more natural
characters, natural reactions, more believable events and somehow was a
way more solid movie and to be honest this movie just doesnt compare.
Totally unecessary romantic angle.
Loved the shot where they are taking pictures for Numair’s ID card. Very artistic.
Dealt with a good subject though this isnt really the first time a
movie like this has been done, a different, fresh, original angle would
have been interesting.
- For some reason there is no trace of this film on IMDb
- the singer hangs out in what should be a high
security CID office and is allowed to overhear the contents of the
email sent by the terrorist. Needless to say however that the entire
office is really moved by the email and think about whether they really
want to go after him or not.
- The part where Anil Kapoor goes into the Supreme Court. His
poor daughter is crying after havign seeing her mother murdered and her
father arrested and the media is dying to get an interview and almost
break down the barrier but the neighbourhood girl manages to sneak in
to ask Anil Kapoor a question.
- the scene in the beginning where Anil Kapoor is at the chai
wala. Theres a sardar sitting at the table with Numair and his friends
and he suddenly dissapears when Anil Kapoor comes to talk to them.
Where did he go? Under the table I guess.
