Who said that Bollywood has started opting for these kinds of subjects in the 2000s? ‘Koshish’, released in 1980, is a highly inspiring story of a deaf and mute couple. 

Starring Sanjeev Kumar and Jaya Bhaduri in the lead roles, this movie directed by Gulzar is considered as a landmark portrayal of the differently-abled.

The movie effectively portrays the struggles a person with a disability has to face while living amidst a desensitized society. 

The main characters meet, fall in love, get married, have a son who they raise to be well-educated. But they have to struggle every minute of their lives for even their basic needs, but they know how to fight and they never give up!
