It’s becoming a trend
for the films coming
from the house of

when the film’s
release got delayed
only to eventually hit
the screens on
January 18th. Now
BLACK and
WHITE, a film which
is directed by the
showman himself, has
been pushed forward
by a good three

for release on 7th
March, BLACK and
WHITE would now
be coming on 28th
March.
In the hindsight this
appears to be a good
move as 7th March
release was nothing
less than suicidal.
Beginning of March
marks the kick start
of school/college
exams when students
shy away from
theaters. An offbeat
film, BLACK and
WHITE relies heavily
on youth to help it
make a mark at the
box office.
However, 28th
March is also not a
date which really gets
the film in a comfort
zone. That’s because
it follows RACE
(21st March) and
faces JANNAT (4th
