Plot

In the compelling tapestry of "Black & White" (2008), the heart of the narrative is Afghan-born Mahmood Albak, who is chosen for the chilling task of becoming a suicide bomber. His mission? To claim the lives of at least 400 people during India's sacred Independence Day festivities in Delhi's Lal Keela on August 15. As part of his cover, he takes on the persona of Numair Qazi, a desolate youth from Gujarat, who carried the tragic memory of his parents' murder by Hindu extremists. Upon reaching the bustling labyrinth of Chandni Chowk, Delhi, he encounters Numair's uncle, Gaffar Ali Nazar, a spirited Indian patriot whose pen dances across the pages of a local magazine. Nazar's household, including his wife and two sons, Jalal and Bilal, who are covertly involved in the plot, become Numair's temporary refuge. However, as the affluent Naeem Shaikh breathes his last under the suspicious gaze of the CBI, Numair finds a new sanctuary. He befriends the erudite Urdu Professor, Rajan Mathur Sen Gupta, and his wife Roma, a passionate social activist. He starts living with them and their differently-abled daughter, Surubhi, using their influence to secure a pass to the Independence Day celebrations. As Numair navigates this unfamiliar world, he is repulsed by the harmonious coexistence of Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs, their participation in each other's religious festivities, and their role in organizing Hindu pilgrimages. He uncovers the paradoxical reality of Hindu and Muslim youth leaders who, despite their public antagonism, are allies behind closed doors, serving the agendas of unscrupulous politicians like Mohanlal Agarwal. As the clock ticks down to August 15, Numair remains unflinching in his path to martyrdom. With the entire area booby-trapped with lethal explosives, he is ready to sacrifice all, including his unsuspecting host, Rajan. Each step closer to the fateful day paints a stark image of the impending catastrophe in "Black & White".
