Baradwaj reviews Subhash Ghai’s latest venture, Black and White.
Besides, of all the films that Ghai has made in his recent quest for respectability – his transparent desire to be known as more than just the man who whipped up the potboiler pleasures of Ram Lakhan and Hero – Black & White is easily his finest. The only problem, though, is that this evaluation comes through comparison with Yaadein and Kisna: The Warrior Poet, so the merits in this film are more along the lines of “Ghai is s-l-o-w-l-y getting better at what he wants to do,” which is quite different from “this film really works.”

It was just an average film from a great director.
New directors have given such a great movies in recent times and hence the expectation from Ghai is obviously high.
Storyline as well as the picturisation was a bit repetitive in that line of cinema.
Hoping much much more than this….
