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, this movie revolves around the contrasting behaviors of 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 were simple and mostly rural. The story was about the 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. 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.

The movie begins with Sanskrit saying, 'Kaamaaturaanam nabhayam nalajja (A lustful person knows neither fear nor shame),' and the rest of the movie attempts to illustrate the same. Kama is one of the six moral weaknesses: kama (passion/lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), moha (attachment), madha (pride) and matsara (envy).
