Black is the story of a blind, deaf, and mute girl and her relationship with her teacher (Bachchan) who suffers from Alzheimer’s. A partial interpretation of Helen Keller’s autobiography The Story of My Life—but transferred to the Himalayas—Black was critically acclaimed throughout India and beyond. Though considered a Bollywood film, Black is a clear departure from classic Bollywood style, with only one musical number in this powerful, emotionally jarring film.
