Mumbai, Dec 26 (NationPress) Esteemed director Subhash Ghai recently reflected on his 2008 film “Black & White”, deeming it one of the most unconventional endeavors of his cinematic journey.

In his reflections on audience reactions and the film's core intentions, Ghai explained what made it distinct from his typical approach and why it continues to resonate with him even years post-release. On Instagram, he shared a poster from the film featuring Anil Kapoor and expressed that “Black & White” diverged significantly from the genres he is known for. In his caption, Subhash noted that while parts of the general audience initially perceived it as not a “typical Subhash Ghai film,” the more discerning viewers appreciated its realistic narrative and storytelling.

He also mentioned that following the film’s debut, he received commendations and supportive calls from several renowned filmmakers, which he regarded as a major honor. The “Taal” director emphasized that “Black & White” holds a special place in his heart precisely because it deviated from his usual filmmaking style.

Subhash Ghai stated, “It’s not a Subhash Ghai kind of film. The initial reaction from the mass audience was that it was different, but the class audience embraced the film and its content. Upon the film's release in 2008, I received calls from top directors praising the film. That was a significant compliment for me, and it remains my favorite work as it’s not a typical Subhash Ghai film. Please do watch it on TV.” (sic)
