Black and White... a sensible film

Hats off to the director of the film Black and White. Though this film is also,like many other previous ,based on the global concern of terrorism. But the story line and the concept is somewhat more experimental than many other prevoius attempts. The story mainly revolves round a young Boy from afganistan, who is sent to India as a jehadi for a suicide bombing plot. The boy is having a rigid sentiments about his religion. When he reaches India, he is introduced to a Urdu professor and his wife. Both of them though a Hindu , lives in midst of a locality of Chandni chowk which is an area containing mixed prortions of Hindus and Muslims. The professor is regarded as one of the peacemakers of that locality and his wife a social activist. The Boy comes closer to this family, for attaining their confidence to accomplish his mission successfully. But living with them , understanding their feelings and emotions towards the motherland and humanity, creates a storm of Good and bad , Black and White in his mind. He is being taught silently that, this country is not having only dual colors : Black and White it also contains other various colors with numerous emotions. His mind becomes entangled in the tought that whether he should opt for the attack or should withdraw. He opts to attack. But does he really does that... go and watch the movie, its wortgh watching than watching a "Race".
