Sangeet

Sangeet is a Mature story depicting Sensitivity,Love,Caring,Selflessness & Forgiveness. Madhuri Dixit gives a perfect portrayal of Nirmala and Sangeetha (a Mother and Blind Daughter). She wonderfully underplays her character as the Mother which reflects Sensitivity and Caring. Madhuri's performance as the Blind Daughter is equally wonderful. Her posture, expressions, body language, dialogue delivery and mannerisms for both Mother and Daughter roles (i.e. Nirmala and Sangeetha) are pitch perfect, as per their characters. Vishwanath's direction in this movie is really great. Jackie Shroff is also very good as the folk singer. Music is good especially the song O Raaba Koi.Overall , a very good movie. I recommend it to everyone who love sensitive cinema

Sangeet is a sweet story about human love, imperfection, selflessness, and forgiveness. Setho (Jackie) is a peasant folk singer who comes to Mumbai to perform. When "Madam" (Madhuri as the middle-aged patron of the arts) finds him camped out in a deserted building she owns, she hears him singing and invites him to come sing at her anniversary party. Setho delights her there, but his folk music is not for everyone. Madam's husband is a cad, shunning her for associating with such "low-lifes," and there is little happiness in their marriage. Meanwhile, Madam encourages Setho in his music. - Setho stumbles into a 'dance hall' one day where he sees a beautiful young woman (Madhuri) performing suggestive dances for a crowd of lustful men, and becomes indignant enough to storm onto the stage and shame the young woman and her mother (as well as the men in the audience). He befriends the young woman and her mother, as he discovers that the young woman is blind and her mother knew of no other way to provide for them. Eventually, a web of secrets unfolds among them, which includes a charming 'flashback' to Madam's young love for her musical neighbor, the handsome Nitish Bharadwaj (in a special appearance). The love that develops between Madam, the young dancer, and Setho is sweet and uplifting, and the movie comes to a happy climax. A real gem of a film! Madhuri's dual role is flawless and very convincing. Don't miss it!

Everything about this film is praiseworthy right from the Direction, the Performances, the Music and the Dances. Sangeet is a musical film directed by K.Vishwanath, starring Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff. Madhuri Dixit performs the double role of Nirmala Devi/Sangeeta while Jackie Shroff plays Sethuram.

The music for the film is composed by the duo Anand Milind with lyrics by Santosh Anand. The songs O Rabbaa Koi To Bataae Pyaar Hotaa Hai Kyaa and Saat Suron Ke Taar Ban Gaye are soulful and melodious. Madhuri's double role of a poor Caring Mother and Blind Daughter is flawless and motivating. Don't miss it!

I think this is the first Vishwanath Hindi original movie. His earlier movies Eashwar, Sargam etc. were remakes of his own movies in Telugu. Now... Vishwanath and Madhuri... That's what they call the right director/actor blend. I personally feel that this movie would easily ranked in 5 best performances of madhuri. Both the characters (she has a dual role) are well developed. Jackie's performance is okay. The story would not be suitable for Hindi audiences and so it bombed.

Sangeet is one of the best films of the year 1992 directed by K. Viswanath. Madhuri is superb in the double role of mother and her blind daughter in the film and shows her versatility as an actor. Jackie is also very good in his role. The music by composers Anand-Milind is melodious. It is a heart touching and sensitive film well made under the excellent direction of K. Viswanath. Sangeet is not like a typical Hindi masala film of the 90s decade. The film might not have been commercially successful upon release but is memorable due to the captivating performances by Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff.
