Black tells the tale of Debraj Sahai (Amitabh Bachchan), a teacher who dedicates his life to educating Michelle McNally (Rani Mukerji), a young woman trapped in a world of silence and darkness due to being deaf and blind. The film, inspired by the life of Helen Keller, depicts their remarkable journey as Debraj patiently breaks down the communication barriers and ignites the spark of learning in Michelle.
Bhansali’s masterful direction crafts a visually stunning and emotionally charged experience. The film delves into themes of human connection, perseverance, and the power of education, leaving a lasting impact on viewers. Black garnered critical acclaim and numerous awards, including three National Film Awards, solidifying its place as a modern Indian cinematic gem.
