Black and White
This title is inspired from Subhash Ghai's recently released movie.

In a jail, if you torture an innocent victim too hard, he will almost start believing that he is the murderer, even if he had actually nothing to do with the crime altogether.Fear of pain and fear of being killed are the chief weapons o... more...
