Kappu Bilupu (Kannada: ಕಪ್ಪು ಬಿಳುಪು, which means Black and White) is a 1969 Indian Kannada language film directed by Puttanna Kanagal. Based on a novel of the same name by Aryambha Pattabhi,[1] this movie revolves around the contrasting behaviors of an identical, yet distinct pair of twins. The film starred Kalpana in dual roles.
Puttanna used the movie as a medium for speaking to the youth of the ideals he derived from Vivekananda. The settings are simple and mostly rural. The story is about how domestic peace was better than a glamorously consumptive lifestyle. The juxtaposition of the two sisters played by Kalpana in a black and white background was a clever trick.[according to whom?] K. S. Ashwath and Balakrishna play dignified elders who in many ways are sympathetic but helpless. There were a couple of simple but moving melodies.
Characters
Placeholder1 (Kalpana): A docile, well-mannered girl, ill-treated by her step-mother
Placeholder2 (Kalpana): Brash, licentious sister of Placeholder1 who cares nigh for others
Placeholder3 (Rajesh): Eligible bachelor
Placeholder4 (Balakrishna): Placeholder1's father/Placeholder2's uncle (Placeholder2's dad's brother)
Story
A Cinderella-inspired story. A commentary on the ultimate triumph of good character over situational advantages. Kalpana in her first role is a well-mannared girl who is being ill-treated by her stepmother. Her second character indulges in a wanton lifestyle bereft of kindness.
Soundtrack
R. Rathna composed the music for the soundtrack.
