Plot

One needs a firm anchoring without which life gets scattered - just the way Keshav carried on for years. Keshav Vaze (Amol Palekar) is an eminent businessman who started his life struggle from a small village and is now an owner of his industrial empire. The business kept growing larger and larger making his days stacked with board meetings, conventions, tours, etc. Keshav became a dear public figure constantly surrounded by people... but the days ended in the cluttered darkness of his own melancholy. Years after years Keshav has hidden his grief within himself. On his 60th birthday, he decides to find serenity for himself and takes a major decision. Accidentally a slice of his frozen past gets scratched. Keshav suddenly has a glimpse of Shama (Sharmila Tagore), who was once the anchor of his existence. Her mesmerizing beauty, poise and silence suddenly personify his vacuum of last 30 years. Shama had chosen to be a recluse - hidden from the light of sunrise. Keshav strives to learn more about her. He realizes the mockery of their fate - both had drifted apart walking their separate paths... sharing their loneliness. Why did Keshav and Shama choose to live the way they did? What was the motivation behind their present? Do they find their lost love? Samaantar reveals lost traces of parallel folds!
