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.

At the 51st Filmfare Awards in 2006, the film won in all the 11 categories it was nominated in, including Best Film, Best Film (Critics), Best Director (Bhansali), Best Actor, Best Actor (Critics) (both for Amitabh ), Best Actress and Best Actress (Critics) (both for Rani Mukerji), thus becoming the most-awarded film in the history of the Filmfare Awards at that time.
