Win Phatak has started a site listing and reviewing films involving disability which are made in India.  The site is well laid out and looks very promising.  

http://www.winphatak.com/film/films.htm

   The most comprehensive site especially for reviews.

  You'll possibly find an obscure, foreign, or old film here but there are only summaries of films and no reviews.
