Michelle McNally (Rani Mukerji)is the daughter of an Anglo-Indian family, who becomes deaf and blind after an illness she gets at the age of eighteen months. She is a bright, intelligent girl who lives in a world of black silence with no way of reaching out. This frustrates the young girl's mind, which urges to communicate. This frustration leads her to be destructive, violent and given to rages. But her destiny has something else in store. Two soul mates are about to meet.48-year-old Debraj Sahai (Amitabh Bachchan) is an eccentric, alcoholic man who is consumed by his profession of being a teacher to the deaf-blind. The school at which he teaches asks him to leave because of his drinking and failing eyesight. The principal of the school, who is an old friend of Debraj, believes in his ability and sends him to the McNally house to teach the eight year old girl Michelle McNally.
Debraj's arrival at the McNally home is far from auspicious. He arrives in a state of being drunk, angry and rude.His unorthodox approach is met with opposition from the father and Michelle, who with her fiery nature gives back as good as she gets. In spite of all this Debraj succeeds and miraculously she makes the connection with name and meaning and learns her first word. But this is not the end; there is still a long way in this extraordinary journey and several battles to fight.
