Movies and Shows with Blind Characters
Thanks to fcf-41980 who made most of this list. I had a few to add, but couldn't manage to contact the creator of the list. I have left the comments this person made, and have added my own comments.
I also have a mild obsession with finding and watching movies depicting characters with disabilities.

- DirectorPeter MiddletonJames SpinneyStarsJohn M. HullMarilyn HullMiranda Beinart-SmithIn the summer of 1983, just days before the birth of his first son, writer and theologian John Hull went blind. In order to make sense of the upheaval in his life, he began keeping a diary on audiocassette. Upon their publication in 1990, Oliver Sacks described the work as 'the most extraordinary, precise, deep and beautiful account of blindness I have ever read. It is to my mind a masterpiece.' With exclusive access to these original recordings, NOTES ON BLINDNESS encompasses dreams, memory and imaginative life, excavating the interior world of blindness.This movie is really cool because it is a true story and uses the actual tapes from John Hull's audio journal. It is very realistic and quite touching. It's a very thought provoking movie.
- DirectorCharles BeesonStarsClive OwenClaire SkinnerStuart WilsonA hard-working detective tries to disguise the fact that he's going blind, while working on a challenging murder case.When I watched this I liked it at first, but it is rather unexplained and doesn't have a clear progression of plot or character development, and the series ends abruptly.
- DirectorMichael BrownStarsLonnie BedwellSteven MaceTimmy O'NeillErik is totally blind and is solo kayaking the length of the Grand Canyon. In Lava Falls, a large dangerous rapid, he discovers that despite what people might say, barriers can be real and they hurt .. a lot.This is also a really cool documentary movie about a group kayaking rapids in the grand canyon, two of which are blind.
- DirectorIrwin WinklerStarsVal KilmerMira SorvinoKelly McGillisA blind man has an operation to regain his sight at the urging of his girlfriend and must deal with the changes to his life."Okay, I confess, I put this in only because it fit in with my rules for the list. I actually cannot stand this movie. I've watched a few times, each time hoping that I'll like the main female character, but each time, I'm disappointed again. Val Kilmer is great, but the story is so contrived, I can't help it."
- fcf-41980
I thought the idea of a blind person learning to see was intriguing, but this movie isn't particularly great in any way. - DirectorFrederik Du ChauStarsJessalyn GilsigCary ElwesAndrea CorrAn adventurous girl, a young blind hermit, and a goofy two-headed dragon race to find the lost sword Excalibur to save King Arthur and Camelot from disaster."This was one of my favorite movies when I was little. It's also the only cartoon with a disabled character I've been able to find."
- fcf-41980
- CreatorMatt CormanChris OrdStarsPiper PeraboChristopher GorhamKari MatchettFresh out of the farm, Annie Walker must adapt to the challenging life of a CIA operative under the guidance of her handler, Auggie. But soon she realizes her recruitment might have to do with her last boyfriend rather than her talent."Auggie Anderson is the character who is blind in the show. Christopher Gorham does a particularly good job acting. The writers don't make his character do anything too strange for blind person, but still manage to make him a strong, independent CIA agent."
- fcf-41980
I really like Auggie Anderson. Cool character. - DirectorPradeep SarkarStarsNeil Nitin MukeshDeepika PadukoneViraj AdhavSet in grungy Mumbai, an edgy love story of a blindfolded street fighter and a blind dancer and their never-say-die spirit to achieve the impossible."One of the few movies I've been able to find where the character who is blind is female."
- fcf-41980
I thought this movie was really sweet. - CreatorDrew GoddardStarsCharlie CoxVincent D'OnofrioDeborah Ann WollA blind lawyer by day, vigilante by night. Matt Murdock fights the crime of New York as Daredevil."This is everything a Daredevil comic fan like me craves. A true work of movie art."
- fcf-41980
So I actually kind of hate this series. Sorry. I watched all of it, but I didn't like the vague plotlines, unexplained characters, and lack of good character growth. I can't figure out what the theme is in this one. - DirectorVipul Amrutlal ShahStarsAmitabh BachchanAkshay KumarSushmita SenAfter a temperamental man is unceremoniously stripped of his duties as a bank manager, he decides to seek revenge by robbing the bank, for which he trains three blind men."Three characters for the price of one. The only negative of this movie is that no one believes it's possible for a person who is blind to rob a bank."
- fcf-41980
I didn't really like this movie either, but the plan for the three blind guys to rob the bank was interesting. - CreatorSteven BochcoMatt OlmsteadNicholas WoottonStarsRon EldardMarisol NicholsReno WilsonNYPD Detective Jim Dunbar returns to work after being blinded in the line of duty."I really like that this show realistically portrays the capabilities and limitations of a person who is blind."
- fcf-41980
This is a really cool detective show, but it was left unfinished. The characters are good and the plot seems good, and I am disappointed it wasn't continued. - DirectorJames KeachStarsChris PineAnjali JayEddie Kaye ThomasA young blind man (Pine) thinks he's found love with an Indian woman (Jay) though their relationship is fraught with cultural differences."Chris Pine is the main character, a blind-from-birth virgin looking for love."
- fcf-41980
I didn't mind this movie, but I didn't like the humor much. Wouldn't re-watch it. - DirectorA.L. VijayStarsVikramJagapathi BabuAnushka ShettyThe identity of a blind church pianist is uncovered. Military officer Shiva Kumar is on the run as an accused fugitive, and is attempting to take revenge against those who killed his wife."Tamil film. The blind character is the main character. He was blinded in a terrorist attack and seeks vengeance against the people who did the attack. He uses echolocation."
- fcf-41980
I loved this movie when I first watched it, because Daniel Kish was IN it. I couldn't believe it. I have researched echolocation a little bit, and I was ecstatic to see it in a movie. Also the plot is intriguing and the backstory is cool, and thought provoking. Even with all the jumping back and forth between past and present scenes, I could follow it rather easily. I really felt for all the characters. - DirectorSriram RaghavanStarsTabuAyushmann KhurranaRadhika ApteA series of mysterious events change the life of a blind pianist, who must now report a crime that he should technically know nothing of."Oh my god, one of my absolute favorites from the moment I first watched it on Netflix on New Years Day. Since then, I’ve shown it to just about everyone I can get to watch movies with me. It’s brilliance from opening to end."
- fcf-41980
I have to totally agree with that comment. It is brilliant and mind blowing. One of those movies I think about long after I've watched it. The only problem I have with it is that I still can't figure out quite what happened at the end. - DirectorAyodhyakumar KrishnamsettyStarsDeepak SarojSreenivasa SayeeSuhasiniRaju a 13 year old child passionate about films who always wanted to be a filmmaker become blind in an accident. Drunkard and irresponsible father puts Raju in a blind orphanage,claiming him to be an orphan. Blind orphanage is run by a wicked man Narayana who is living on the money meant for blind children. At this juncture Raju advice children on writing a complain to District Collector.This leads in to deeper trouble. As all the options run out to bring this injustice to light, Raju thinks of making a video film about the situation. With the help of a friend Raju gets a video camera.Trains the children and they all make a film secretly. The film changes the orphanage for good.I love this movie, so much. It is inspiring and thought provoking. It is touching and suspenseful. Basically a bunch of blind kids are being horribly mistreated at this orphanage for the blind. They have horrible conditions and their prospects in life are quite dismal- but the main character doesn't accept that.
- DirectorAlexander BaackStarsHillary BaackPaul GuyetBrendan O'MalleyA deaf woman meets a recently blinded man.
- DirectorRex BromfieldStarsMary Ann McDonaldDan AykroydJane MallettA young woman named Shirley befriends a lonely blind man named Roy. Together, they find love - even though Shirley's father opposes the relationship."This was one of the first movies with a blind character I ever saw. In this, the main character says he lost his sight because he was watching a solar eclipse. Scared me so badly, I was afraid of the total eclipse in 2017! Other than that, nothing special about it; standard made-for-tv."
- fcf-41980
I thought this movie seemed a little scattered in plot and character growth. It wasn't that interesting to me, just a couple of young adults eloping and one of them happens to be blind. - DirectorPriyadarshanStarsMohanlalSamuthirakaniAnusreeA blind man tries to protect a girl from a psycho killer."Shout-out to Sheeba Kurian! Thank you for suggesting this! It's rare that someone suggests a movie for this list that I've never heard of."
- fcf-41980
This movie is sweet because the blind character loves this little girl he is trying to protect, but other than that relationship, I didn't find anything special about this movie. I liked the music, though. - DirectorBarbara AlbertStarsMaria DragusDevid StriesowLukas MikoA blind pianist living in 18th-century Vienna forms an extraordinary relationship with the physician who is trying to restore her sight.This movie is very intriguing to me, because it is nothing like any of the other ones on this list. The plot is a little bit confusing. The characters could use a bit more explanation. But the setting and time period is interesting in terms of how people treat the blind character.
- DirectorRobert MalenfantStarsBrad JohnsonMegan GallagherRoxana ZalStarring Brad Johnson, Megan Gallagher, and Roxana Zal. In recovery after losing his sight on the job, a police officer becomes ensnared in the manipulations of an obsessive woman and her mentally unstable sister.I hate this movie. It's not worth watching; don't bother. The acting is bad, the characters are bad, the plot is bad (in my humble opinion).
- DirectorAnil RavipudiStarsRavi TejaMehreen PirzadaVivan BhatenaRaja, a blind but intelligent man is assigned to protect a police officer's daughter from a goon who wants to kill her."Way too slapstick for me, but there are a couple of good jokes. Some of the dialogue is just plain cringe-worthy. Not worth rewatching."
- fcf-41980
I agree with the cringe worthy part. It wasn't especially horrible, but I didn't finish watching it. - DirectorGulzarStarsSanjeev KumarJaya BachchanGovardhan AsraniA speech and hearing-impaired couple persists through unforgiving obstacles to be accepted by society and live a life of dignity."Technically this one falls more into my collection of movies with deaf main characters, but there is a blind character. And this movie is so pivotal, it should count just for that."
- fcf-41980
This movie is sweet and touching, and has quite a bit of heart wrenching in it. The deaf couple struggle to find happiness despite the world seeming to be against them. - DirectorAbigail FullerSarah IvyDo You Dream in Color? is the coming-of-age story of four courageous blind high school students as they strive to prove that their disability will not hold them back from achieving their dreams.This documentary movie didn't seem very organized. Didn't have a clear plot, and doesn't say what happens to the blind kids in the end. But it is eye opening and seems realistic.
- DirectorSong Il-gonStarsSo Ji-seobHan Hyo-jooKang Shin-ilA love story centered on ex-boxer Chul-min and a blind telemarketer Jung-hwa."This is the perfect sappy romance movie, on par with a Nicholas Sparks, but don't let that deter you. There's blood and fights too. The blind character gets her eyesight back, but not until the last fifteen or so minutes, so it still qualifies for The List."
- fcf-41980
This movie was too soapy for me. I watched the whole thing, but it was just so dramatic that it seemed very unrealistic. - DirectorSatyen BoseStarsSudhir KumarSushil KumarSanjay KhanMr. Gupta passes away after an accident while on duty, leaving behind his ailing wife and school-going son, Ramnath. Both await for some compensation, and when they are informed that the company does not accept liability for Gupta's death, his wife falls down the stairs. and passes out. When Ramnath goes to fetch a doctor, he is knocked down and run over by a speeding car, losing the use of his left leg. When he returns from hospital, he finds that his mom has passed away, and his landlord has evicted him. Penniless and hungry, he roams the streets of Bombay and befriends a blind young man, Mohan, and both use their talents - playing and harmonica and singing respectively to earn some money. Mohan is on the look-out for his sister, Meena, who works as a Nurse in one of the hospitals and hopes to be reunited with her. Both friends befriend a ailing young girl, Manjula, and hope to get some money from her so that Ramnath can attend school. But fate has other plans for them, Manjula passes away, Meena does get to meet Mohan, but refuses to recognize him as she does not wish to associate herself with a lowly beggar; while Ramnath is arrested by the Police for his alleged involvement with a group of robbers.This movie is interesting because the main characters are both disabled and rely on each other for different things. They really have no one in the world but each other. Didn't really like the ending, though.
- DirectorDylan BakerStarsMark HapkaBram HooverStephen LangWhen a high-school football star is suddenly stricken with irreversible, total blindness, he must decide whether to accept his new reality or attempt a return to the game he still loves.This movie is so good. And it's based on a true story. It's funny, touching, suspenseful, inspiring, and I could go on. Would highly reccomend.
- DirectorDonald WryeStarsTaylor FirthRob MayesHenry CzernyAlexis is a young girl who dreams of becoming a champion figure skater. One day, while practicing, Alexis suffers a terrible accident that takes her sight and threatens to destroy her dreams.Both of these Ice Castle movies are not bad. I liked this one better, though. The ending is inspiring.
- DirectorDonald WryeStarsLynn-Holly JohnsonRobby BensonColleen DewhurstAn inexperienced yet naturally gifted ice skater makes a spectacular debut in the skating world before encountering an event that could possibly derail her hopes and dreams.
- DirectorJohnnie ToStarsAndy LauSammi ChengTao GuoA brilliant detective is forced into early retirement after losing eyesight. Making ends meet by solving cold cases for reward money, he teams up with a rookie lady inspector to solve a case from her personal past.This movie is funny and interesting, but much too gory and violent for my taste, especially near the end. It's also kind of a confusing mixture between comedy, action & adventure, horror, and romance.
- DirectorRaoul RuizRaúl RuizStarsTom ContiDaryl HannahMiriam MargolyesSir Paul, a distinguished author, blinded in a horrific accident, advertises for an amanuensis.This movie is bad. The acting is bad, the characters are bad. I mean the plot is okay, but that's the only thing I can give it.
- CreatorSimon KinbergCarrie BeckDave FiloniStarsDave FiloniTaylor GrayFreddie Prinze Jr.The crew of the spaceship Ghost defends those who cannot fight for themselves against the Empire, providing the spark for a rebellion.It's a pretty good kids show. Kanan Jarrus, a survivor of the Jedi Extermination Order is blinded by Maul in the last episode of the second season.
- CreatorHiromu ArakawaStarsKent WilliamsIemasa KayumiMatthew LeonhartTwo brothers search for a Philosopher's Stone after an attempt to revive their deceased mother goes awry and leaves them in damaged physical forms.I don't like anime much, but I LOVE this series. The characters are amazing, and the plotline is mind blowing. It's a pretty big stretch to put it on this list, but when one of the main characters goes blind near the very end, it's a pretty important plot point.
- CreatorDave HackelStarsTed DansonHattie WinstonTerry FarrellDr. John Becker goes through his daily routine of being a doctor, stopping at his favorite diner, and other various situations, all the while hating life and everything around him."One of my favorite sitcoms. The blind character is Becker's best friend. Now tell me, who doesn't love Ted Danson as a sarcastic but oddly-lovable general practitioner?"
- fcf-41980
- DirectorSatish KaushikStarsArjun RampalZayed KhanAmeesha PatelA blind husband. An obsessed lover. And the missing body of a murdered wife...?"Another classic version of a wronged man seeking vengeance for the death of his wife, but the acting is solid. It's not as vibrant as I've come to expect from Bollywood, but that actually plays really well into the story."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorBruce RobinsonStarsAndy GarciaUma ThurmanLance HenriksenJohn Berlin, a former Los Angeles homicide detective, investigates a multiple murder case in San Diego. The only witness is a blind girl to whom he is immediately attracted.
- DirectorIsabel CoixetStarsSarah PolleyTim RobbinsSverre Anker OusdalA hearing impaired factory worker gives up her first holiday in years and instead travels out to an oil rig, where she cares for a man suffering from severe burns."This movie makes me cry every time I watch it. This is one of the few movies in my collection that fit into both my deaf and my blind disability categories. Warning, triggers abound here for war survivors."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorPrakash KovelamudiStarsSiddharthShruti HaasanLakshmi ManchuIn a teardrop-shaped land called Sangarashtra, a 9-year-old girl with special healing powers tries to save her homeland from the tyranny of an evil queen with the help of a blind swordsman."This story is your classic Bollywood-style (though it's not Bollywood) fantasy."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorClaude WhathamStarsJohn HargreavesJudy DavisDennis MillerTrue story about a jailed bank robber who pretends he's become blind to get an early release. Cops don't believe him, but a lonely minister's wife arrives to teach him how to live with his "condition". They fall in love. Big mistake."The most interesting part of this movie is how the main character thinks a man who is blind should act. That said, it can be a bit difficult to watch, if you're sensitive to morality issues."
- fcf-41980
- CreatorIan AbramsBob BrushPatrick Q. PageStarsKyle ChandlerShanesia DavisFisher StevensHis name is Gary Hobson. He gets tomorrow's newspaper today. He doesn't know how. He doesn't know why. All he knows is when the early edition hits his doorstep, he has twenty-four hours to set things right.
- DirectorFred ZinnemannStarsEdward ArnoldAnn HardingDonna ReedA blind detective and his seeing-eye dog investigate a murder and discover a Nazi plot."The best part of this movie is the dog, Friday, but the story was written by the same ophthalmologist who wrote _Bright Victory_, so the blind character isn't overdone."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorMichael SwitzerStarsRichard ThomasAnnabeth GishAugust SchellenbergBased on a true story and spanning fifteen years during the turmoil of the Second World War, this is an incredible, inspiring saga of two young people whose very special relationship helps them fulfill each other's dreams. Jean Treadway, a beautiful young girl in her twenties, comes from a world of wealth and privilege. Gordon Holly is a handsome but humble rancher, the pride of his small town, and honest to a fault. But they share something which makes the love that blossoms between them all the more pure and intense: both are totally blind. Against all odds, they marry and head out West to Gordon's ranch. There, side by side, they build a future which includes responsibility and independence."It doesn't compare to the book of the same name, but it's a solid made-for-TV based-on-real-life drama."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorXavier PaludStarsJacques GamblinLambert WilsonRaphaëlle AgoguéA police inspector must solve two grisly murders. The problem is that his only suspect is a blind man."The main character, the blind man, is a compelling, if not very likable."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorPhillip NoyceStarsRutger HauerTerry O'QuinnBrandon CallA blind Vietnam vet, trained as a swordfighter, comes to America and helps to rescue the son of a fellow soldier."Classic B-movie, but I've seen it so many times, I think I've got it memorized. It's based on the Zatochi franchise. There are some scenes that go beyond what a standard person who is blind can do, but it's supposed to be an over-the-top samurai-type movie."
- fcf-41980
- CreatorStirling SilliphantStarsJames FranciscusMarlyn MasonPeter Mark RichmanThe cases of a blind insurance investigator."The title character, Mike Longstreet, was blinded in a bomb, but he doesn't let that stop him. The acting is a bit forced, but given it was made in the early 70s, I can't hold that against it too much. Mike doesn't let anyone walk over him because he is blind, but he doesn't overreach, so it gets a lot of bonus points for that."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorMark Steven JohnsonStarsBen AffleckJennifer GarnerColin FarrellA man blinded by toxic waste which also enhanced his remaining senses fights crime as an acrobatic martial arts superhero."I debated whether to put this one on this list. Technically, Matt Murdock is blind, but his senses maybe make up for his sight? That said, I was obsessed with this movie to the point that I became a diehard Daredevil fan. Luckily, we have the TV show now, so I don't have to watch this one to see my favorite superhero."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorMartin BrestStarsAl PacinoChris O'DonnellJames RebhornA prep school student needing money agrees to "babysit" a blind man, but the job is not at all what he anticipated."Definitely my favorite of Pacino's films. My problem is that this story suggests that Pacino's character's depression is a result of being blinded and feeling helpless. Still, Pacino is fabulous enough for me to forget my objections and I've watched it many times."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorPeter H. CooperStarsRichard Dean AndersonValerie BertinelliDoris RobertsThis is about a man falling in love with a woman and then immediately gets drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War. In the war he becomes blind and gets discharged."A near scene-for-scene remake of _Pride of the Marines_, but for a Vietnam vet instead of WWII. It doesn't fix any of the issues I found in the original, and in fact, may have even pushed more of the helplessness."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorDelmer DavesStarsJohn GarfieldEleanor ParkerDane ClarkMarine hero Al Schmid is blinded in battle and returns home to be rehabilitated. He readjusts to his civilian life with the help of his soon to be wife."This is a good story, but it's extremely hard to watch. It portrays the main character, a marine blinded in WWII, as less than human. The main character falls into a deep depression after he is wounded in action. I always have to pair this one with _Bright Victory_ to remember that this was not the way all blinded vets felt."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorDelbert MannStarsTimothy BottomsEva Marie SaintArthur HillA recently blinded man becomes one of the first American users of a seeing eye dog and must fight to remove the legal barriers impeding its use."The best part of this movie is the dog, but it's an important story. Your standard made-for-TV docu-drama."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorPaul CoxStarsIsabelle HuppertRobert MenziesNorman KayeA woman who injured her eyes in car accident and a young blind man fall for each other. Is sight the only way to see the world?"Not a very strong plot, but the music is good."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorAndrzej JakimowskiStarsEdward HoggAlexandra Maria LaraMelchior DerouetA blind teacher breaks the rules to help a female student rediscover the pleasures of life."Not all that original, but it is a compelling story. The main character uses a kind of echolocation and leads a minor rebellion in the school for the blind."
- DirectorMark RobsonStarsArthur KennedyPeggy DowJulie AdamsAfter he gets blinded by a German sniper's bullet in 1943, Sergeant Larry Nevins begins the long and painful road to recovery."By far one of my favorites. I've watched this one so many times, I've lost count. It's a great, if generic, romance. The blind character is the main character. This shows some of the rehabilitation techniques for the blind used in the 50s, some of which are still used today. It was written by an ophthalmologist, so it's as accurate as media can do."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorAlfredo GiannettiStarsVirginia BryantDaniel CeccaldiXuxa LopesBrazilian businessman has hang-gliding accident on a French beach. He loses his eyesight and any interest in life. A young woman nurses him to health. He recovers eyesight through surgery. However, the young woman disappears."Shout-out to Mimi Tyson for finding this! I've been searching for this since I first read the request from Alina Buzle! It's been driving me crazy! Now I just need to find it..."

- DirectorRichard LaBrieStarsGregory HinesVincent D'OnofrioJames Earl JonesHines plays a former dental student, Bern Lemley, who had to quit school just before finals because of a car accident that left him in a wheelchair. D'Onofrio plays a former pro football player, Ole Olezniak, who was blinded in a freak accident on the field. Before their accidents, Bern had been a tutor for Ole, and, after quitting his post-accident job as a denture technician, he approaches Ole about teaming up to enter a white-water rafting race on Oregon's Rogue River."Great lighthearted, inspirational movie. Solid acting."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorJoaquín OristrellStarsFernando TejeroSanti MillánJosé Luis García-PérezNadie es perfecto is a story of three friends, all challenged by their impairments but taking life as it comes. The 3 gents pass through life exploring love, hardships and staying together. The story is great for its humour and comic timing. One enjoys the simplicity with which the idea of physical impairments is handled and also the fact that normal healthy people with a fully functional body too are lacking on some other senses. All in all a light hearted comedy made with a lot of affection."More of an ensemble cast, but sweet story."
- fcf-41980
- DirectorLars BüchelStarsFritzi HaberlandtHilmir Snær GuðnasonTina EngelA theater director loses his sight in an accident and must learn to live without his eyes. He and the blind woman assigned to help him go on a funny and romantic adventure that will change both their lives."Definitely one of my new favorites! It's so beautiful. Great romance. The actors have pretty good chemistry (even if the whole _love_ bit feels a little rushed) and the acting is top-notch. Good luck finding it, but it's worth it!"

- DirectorTom LassStarsNaomi AchternbuschTom LassClara SchrammFerdi desperately wants a girlfriend, but he is ugly. One day he meets Jona, who is blind, and for the first time in his life there is hope. What Ferdi doesn't know is that Jona isn't actually blind; she's only pretending. After she dropped out of school and ran away from home, she needed a place to stay, so she pretended to be blind so she could live with her Cousine Cecile in the Home for the Blind. Should Ferdi find out this ugly truth, he is likely to kill himself."Wow. There are very few movies--especially ones that fit into this category--that I can't finish. This is one of them. Even having rented it on Amazon, and therefore having paid for it, I couldn't get more than 30 minutes in. It's that painful. Non-linear timeline, awkward and ridiculous plot, and slow make for a terrible movie. Don't bother."

- DirectorRavinddra KhareIndra KumarStarsFardeen KhanVivek OberoiEsha DeolA blind man Pyare and his deaf friend Mohan fall in love with twin sisters Preeti and Priya. But their relationships spiral into chaos when the sisters get falsely implicated in a murder case and the men have to find a way to save them.
- DirectorDavid Lowell RichStarsMike ConnorsKent McCordMichael ColeThree disabled men--one blind, one with no legs and one with no hands--get together to pull off a museum robbery."The character who is blind _probably_ doesn't have enough screen time to be considered a main character, but he's a strong supporting character at least. Plus the story is a good one. I particularly appreciate how it depicts the US pre-American Disabilities Act. And it definitely fits the interesting sub-grouping I've got of people with disabilities stealing things! It is a TV movie, though, so don't expect amazing entertainment. It's okay, but not much better."

The young man has to learn again how to eat, walk, wash himself, do simple housework, and even how to look out of the window without seeing anything. All connections to his previous life are broken. In this new life blind Zuev encounters an exceptional woman capable of seeing more than other people. Her name sounds symbolic - Nadezhda (translates as 'hope' into English) and she works at the local hospital. Nadezhda will help Zuev find his strength and a new sense of existing. These equally strong but otherwise different people spend together what, perhaps, will be the best days of their lives; but everything has an ending.

- DirectorSunil AgnihotriStarsAkshay KumarAyesha JhulkaChandniTwins Jai and Kishen reunite together to fight against the perpetrators who killed their father and had them separated."As an identical twin myself, I find the premise a bit difficult to swallow, but I'm bias. And I hate the idea of twins being separated from each other. But once I put that aside (enough), I could enjoy this for what it is: a standard revenge movie with fighting reminiscent of Zatoichi."

- DirectorManmohan DesaiStarsShashi KapoorAmitabh BachchanRekhaTwo brothers gets separated at the time of their birth. But when they reunite as adults, challenges welcome them."This is another close call for qualifying. Technically, the character doesn't go blind until almost exactly halfway through the movie, but I've decided that the blindness plays an important enough role in the story for it to qualify."

- DirectorSanjay GuptaStarsHrithik RoshanYami GautamRonit RoyA blind dubbing artist seeks revenge against a corrupt politician and his brother, after his wife is raped and killed."The plot is reminiscent of Vaada (2005), but this one is much more realistic.

- DirectorShonali BoseNilesh ManiyarStarsKalki KoechlinRevathiSayani GuptaA rebellious young woman with cerebral palsy leaves her home in India to study in New York, unexpectedly falls in love, and embarks on an exhilarating journey of self-discovery."I debated putting this on the list. Technically, it's the girlfriend who is blind, and she's not the main character, per-say, but she's in about 2/3rds of the movie, so it made the cut. The movie itself is a good exploration of self discovery and sexual freedom, but I doubt I'll watch it again."
