[edit] Reviews and Reception
The film received universal praise from critics. Famous Indian film critic, Taran Adarsh gave it three stars saying, BLACK & WHITE is a fine effort from a master storyteller who dares to change lanes with this film. In that respect, an effort like BLACK & WHITE needs to be lauded. Targeted at the thinking viewer, the makers and distributors have rightly released the film at multiplexes primarily and the multiplex junta should appreciate the effort, at big centres mainly. It will have to have the backing of a strong word of mouth to climb the ladder[1]. Kudos to Ghai. He has done a good job" and "the story is not the most novel of all. And it's surely a very brave one because of its sensitive nature." [2] Raja Sen of Rediff.com also gave the film 3 stars calling it a commendable effort and saying it proved to be most valid considering India's increasingly disturbed religious climate. [3]Even Subash K. Jha gave the movie 3 stars and said A standing ovation for Subhash Ghai for venturing into a territory that would characteristically be considered uninviting for an escapist entertainer. Black & White doesn't impress you merely because it's a daring deviation for the Showman. [4] Most critics commended the director Subhash Ghai known for large budget extravagant musicals for making a smaller, grittier and deeper movie.
