3 Stars (out of 4)
Suicide bomber Numair (Anurag Sinha) questions his destructive plans after finding corruption among his fellow jihadists and compassion among his would-be victims, particularly a caring professor (Anil Kapoor) and his family. Numair is cruel and unsympathetic, but he’s not a mindless killer. Terrorism is more complex than good vs. evil, and with Black & White writer-director Subhash Ghai challenges audiences to look at its root causes for ways to steer potential murderers away from violence and toward peace.
