Saaransh released in 1984, stands as one of the most introspective and enduring works of Hindi cinema. Directed by Mahesh Bhatt and produced by Rajshri Productions, the film features Anupam Kher, Rohini Hattangadi, Madan Jain, Nilu Phule, Suhas Bhalekar, and Soni Razdan, and marked the remarkable screen debut of Anupam Kher. With music composed by Ajit Verman and lyrics by Vasant Dev, Saaransh was selected as India’s official entry for the 57th Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category, though it ultimately did not secure a nomination. At its core, Saaransh is a poignant meditation on grief, mortality, and moral responsibility. The narrative follows B. V.

सारांश  (1984)  सन् 1984 में रिलीज़ हुई सारांश हिन्दी सिनेमा की सबसे आत्मविश्लेषणात्मक पटकथा पर रची उम्दा कृतियों  में से एक मानी जाती है। महेश भट्ट द्वारा निर्देशित और राजश्री प्रोडक्शंस द्वारा  निर्मित इस फ़िल्म में अनुपम खेर, रोहिणी हट्टंगड़ी, मदन जैन, नीलू फुले, सुहास भालेरकर  और सोनी राजदान जैसे कलाकार प्रमुख भूमिकाएँ निभा रहे थे। अनुपम खेर की यह पहली ही  फ़िल्म थी और इसमें उनकी अविस्मरणीय भूमिका को आज भी याद किया जाता है। अजीत वर्मन  के संगीत और वसंत देव के गीतों से सजी सारांश को सत्तावनवें ऑस्कर पुरस्कारों में सर्वश्रेष्ठ विदेशी भाषा फ़िल्म  श्रेणी के लिए भारत की आधिकारिक प्रविष्टि के रूप में चुना गया, हालाँकि यह अंतिम  नामांकन तक नहीं पहुँच पाई थी।

सारांश की कहानी इंसानी दुख, मृत्यु और नैतिक दुविधाओं  के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती है। फ़िल्म का कथानक एक अधेड़ महाराष्ट्रीयन दंपति के साथ आगे  बढ़ता है। रिटायर्ड शिक्षक बी. वी. प्रधान (अनुपम खेर) और उनकी धर्मपत्नी पार्वती  (रोहिणी हट्टंगड़ी) न्यूयॉर्क में हुई अपने इकलौते बेटे की असमय मृत्यु के बाद भावनात्मक  और आर्थिक दोनों किस्म की असुरक्षाओं से गुज़र रहे हैं। वे अपने घर का एक कमरा किराए  पर देते हैं। इस घर में उनका किराएदार बनता है स्वतंत्रचेता स्त्री सुजाता (सोनी राजदान)  का किरदार। सुजाता एक संघर्षशील अभिनेत्री है। जाने-अनजाने में प्रधान दंपति...
