I used to wait for the days when in school I used to get holiday for Easter, Holi as
separately. This time when I see everything coming together its kind of a season of
celebration!
“Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another’s personhood.”
Holi is color of festival in most part of India and I happened to see this movie ‘Black &
White’ a Subhash Ghai’s movie.
This time from the beginning of this movie I was telling myself this movie is like so many other movies based on terrorism, Afghan war and what not! But as the movie was progressing it took a different turn altogether.
Two things I liked about this movie- first of all the Director’s message- that there are other colors also in life besides black and white…try to see that through your own eyes.
I think a very beautiful thing is said and is something very meaningful with depth in it.
I would say watching movie will help understand this element.
“Artists can color the sky red because they know it’s blue. Those of us who aren’t artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we’re stupid.” ~ Jules Feiffer
So true I realized as I was writing my Hindi poetry on the occasion of Holi and I remembered how as a kid when friends used to color me with all different color and later when I used to reach home, my mom used to get mad at me and to avoid that look I used to go and take shower but the colors never used to go in one day :).
That time it didn’t made any sense but today when I think of it…I feel how those different colors in the mixed form used to stay together no matter what you try hard to wash it away but still they used to be so strong.
“Poetry is the impish attempt to paint the color of the wind.” ~ Maxwell Bodenheim
Today you look at us, we human all are same just because of some divisions, made by man whether its religion, color or race – we can’t even stand together forget about the strength.
Second thing that I liked about the movie ‘Black & White’ is that it’s different than what one would imagine – as a typical Hindi movie :)!!!
This is like a book that you are reading and each time you get to a new chapter there is something that adds up to your knowledge. Anil Kapoor that actor as usual has shined in his matured role as a Urdu Professor who is a Hindu by religion yet changes a terrorist guy to change his mind and awaken him about the facts of the radical moments and elements that causes pain to people and its country.

Hi Dawn!I’d like to watch this mowie,sounds very interesting.<>…”that there are other colors also in life besides black and white…try to see that through your own eyes” –<>really meaningful as others your quotes are. Happy Holi to you!
HiOne of my close friends has worked as an associate editor in this movie.Happy easter to you and family.
Sehr, sorry i am late, hope you had a very colourful Holi with lots of fun.But you have to tell the children if you are in India to be careful in throwning the powder colour or with water gun. The colours are made with cheap chemicals which are harmful to the skin and the eyes.The message of the movie seems timely and much needed to the misguided youth. Black white and the shades of grey are colours too. i thnk the cows see only in black and white.Hope you are doing fine Sehr.
wht is life without color? 🙂ammu.
yet to watch this movie but thanks for ur review.
Dawn,Thaz why rainbows are forever.. U know wat, when u mix black and white in painting, it turns to grey indeed. Apart the jokes, I think its a good movie and read the review too.

When you say all these…I wonder what world has changed into as I used to play with those colors that were made in India only and things never bothered anyone but yes there were people who used to be mischievous where they will use silver paint instead of color and I used to think they are villains :D…! Thanks for reminding some of the factual things ! Cheers dear<>tulipspeaks<>: You said a big thing with those small words 😀 my dear Ammu.Take care and may all the beautiful colors keep you smiling alwaysCheers dear<>manish<>: Thanks and I wish you get well soon.Cheers<>priya<>: Thank you dear :)! You are right to get that grey also we need to mix both black and white and the issue is that we don’t tend to mix but we tend to differentiate and that is what keeps us away from being grey 😉Cheers
