The story of Black is a copy of the true life story of Helen Keller. Michelle McNally (Rani Mukerji) loses her eyesight and hearing at the tender age of eighteen months, causing her to grow up in a world where she is isolated in the darkness of her own existence. She understands nothing of the frustrating world around her, making her a violent, uncontrollable eight-year old. Her parents, Paul and Catherine, are at their wits' end, until Debraj Sahai (Amitabh Bachchan) enters their lives. An elderly alcoholic teacher for the deaf and blind, Debraj sees himself as a magician and is a disillusioned eccentric man. He takes it upon himself to bring young Michelle into the light.
