Saaz is a 1998 Hindi movie produced and directed by Sai Paranjpye, starring Aruna Irani and Shabana Azmi in lead roles.
The plot is allegedly based on the life of legendary singing sisters of Bollywood, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle.
[3] Saaz is a drama that revolves around the lives of two sisters, Mansi and Bansi—daughters of the great singer and theater artist Vrindavan.
Born with extraordinary musical talents, the sisters face challenges and complexities rooted in familial ties, ambition, and personal struggle.
The fierce rivalry further increases between the two sisters, to an extent that Mansi does not give a second thought to snatching opportunities from Bansi, including a national, sadly prestigious performance.
At the function organized to felicitate Kuhu's outstanding success, Bansi sang the song originally sung by her father and announced her return to singing.
The film ends with Bansi sending a recording of her performance to her psychiatrist and informing him that she has regained her confidence.
Delighted, the psychiatrist meets Bansi at the airport, congratulates her, and proposes building a friendship beyond the doctor-patient relationship.
The music score is provided by Zakir Hussain, Bhupen Hazarika, Raj Kamal and Yashwant Dev.
