The Toyota Vellfire MPV, Naga Chaitanya, sports an all-black colour. The car has been completely de-chromed to give it a full black finish along with a fully opaque black tint on the windscreen. Black tints are illegal in India. However, this does not affect their popularity among the celebrities who need them to maintain their privacy.

Pushpa star Allu Arjun's challan was the courtesy of a similar look that Range Rover features. The star's SUV named 'Beast' flaunts an all-black look, complete with black tints on the windscreen.

The use of tinted windows on vehicles is illegal in India under the MV Act. The rule was made to reduce the crimes that take place inside a vehicle. It is strictly enforced in the Metropolitan cities of the nation, including cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore.
