The Hindi film 'Black' released in 2005, largely based on Helen Keller's amazing life story, swept the prizes at Bollywood’s top film festival hosted this year in Dubai.
Bollywood's superstar Amitabh Bachchan won the best actor award, while his co-star in Black Rani Mukherji received the best actress.
The movie’s director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was voted best director, while his sister Bela Sehgal was chosen best editor.
The trophy for best supporting role for a female was given to child star Ayesha Kapoor, who played the young Mukherji in Black, which grabbed the best picture award.
The film is about a deaf-blind girl born to an Anglo-Indian family and her eccentric and alcoholic teacher who falls victim to Alzheimer’s disease.
Helen Keller's life and her work continues to captivate modern audiences.
