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

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!

Brilliant film with awesome dual layered acting performance from Madhuri Dixit. Jackie Shroff shines in his part. Direction is commendable. Recommended

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!

I watched this movie in 1992 when in class 8. Got to watch it again a few days back and felt like writing about it. The story is not bad, music is good and dance are terrific by Madam Dixit. Despite of a good story, good dance, music and a good cast,this movie lacked in several department making it worth one time watch only.

While in class 8 I thought that thi smovie might be too serious for a 13 yr old but it still bored me in 2009. Madhuri was good as the daughter but she disappointed big time as the mother. She seemed to be doing caricature of an old woman like adjusting her specs ,clearing her throat time and again and smiling all the time..you know like primary school kids enacting an old character. She was not at all convincing as an old woman, even her dialogue delivery was extremely fake.This movie alone showed that she is a very limited actress. She lacks versatility. Jackie was OK. Music and Dances were good but the movie's script gave enough scope to the actors who failed it.
