Bhansali seems to have a particular affinity towards his lead or major characters being disabled persons, and also Catholic. In that regard, Black stands out because of how well he married form and emotion in the film.

It's the details that make the whole thing work, from the performances ... to its deadly honest observations that Michelle's disabilities would create obstacles that would reach far beyond her loss of sight and hearing.

Bhansali built a visually beautiful film around the story of "The Miracle Worker." It is hard to imagine such an elegant and satisfying film coming from the Bollywood system.
