Kappu Bilupu (Kannada: ಕಪ್ಪು ಬಿಳುಪು, which means Black and White) is a 1969 Kannada movie by Puttanna Kanagal. Based on a novel by Aryambha Pattabhi, this movie revolves around the contrasting behaviors of identical, yet distinct pair of twins. Puttanna used the movie as a medium for speaking to the youth of the ideals he derived from Vivekananda. The settings were simple and mostly rural. The story was about the how domestic peace was better than a glamourously consumptive lifestyle. The juxtapostioning of the two sisters played by Kalpana in a black and white background was a clever trick. Ashwath and Balakrishna play dignified elders who in may ways are symphathetic but helpless. There were a couple of simple but moving melodies.
