What does 'BLACK AND WHITE' mean? Two colours ? Two Extremes? Two polarities?
Obviously about contrasts, 'BLACK AND WHITE' epitomises the 'black and white'
psyche- a psyche that refuses to see shades beyond the two. A mind that is
literally 'colour-blind'.
Imagine when the colours of rainbow confront a man whose mind has always been
conditioned to see only black and white. It is nothing short of an
'earth-shaking experience'.same can be said of my experience while making such a
realistic film-which confronted my psyche with new never-before nuances- be it
the story ,the characters, theconflict,the drama or the final resolution.
It has left me emotionally elevated- different kind of elation from mainstream
cinema.
'BLACK AND WHITE' is an emotional Drama that entertains for sure but leaves the
audience with a lofty message for all humanity- in search of harmony amidst
diversity. In that sense,'BLACK AND WHITE' is an idea whose time has come. Just
what the world needs, perhaps.And when a thought-provoking theme such as this
one comes straight from the heart, it holds a special place in my mindscape as
it has filled my world with so many colours!
