	''Samaantar'' talks about a simple lost-and-found tale of a man and a woman, but in an artistic manner. Keshav Vaze ([[Amol Palekar]]) is an eminent businessman in [[Pune]], who started his life struggle from a small village and is now the owner of his large industrial empire. His business kept on growing larger and larger, making his day stacked with board meetings, conventions and tours. Keshav became a dear public figure surrounded by many people, but the days ended in the cluttered darkness of his own melancholy as years after years, Keshav has hidden his mysterious grief within himself. As a youngster, Keshav was a mute witness to the major tragedy of a massive earthquake at his village with the deaths of his parents and siblings, and took up the responsibility to support his brother's children, sacrificing his own life. On his 60th birthday, Keshav decides to find serenity for himself and expresses his desire to retire from business when he feels that as a guardian of his late brother's children, he has reached a stage to retire from his life too and shockingly takes the major decision of ending his life in the name of voluntary death.

	The film unfolds the mystery behind his decision of calling for early declaration from life when Keshav visits [[Kolkata]] with his two psychiatrist accquaintances, Dr. Paritosh ([[Sameer Dharmadhikari]]) and Dr. Nikumbh (Kishore Kadam), on an invitation from a medical foundation, where he has donated a huge sum for the construction of a hospital. While there, a slice of Keshav's frozen past accidentally gets scratched by the glimpse of his long-lost college sweetheart, Shama ([[Sharmila Tagore]]), who was once the anchor of his existence. Her mesmerizing beauty, poise and silence personify his vacuum of last 40 years. Shama is living like a patient still under trauma as a sculptor, who hardly ever speaks to anyone and is a recluse immersed in [[violin]] and pottery. Moreover, it also turns out that she is the single mother of Paritosh and that Keshav is his biological father.

	The film does not bring out the past relationship between the two in their first meeting after years, but unfolds the same in the very next meeting, when Keshav's adopted daughter, Reva (Radhika Apte), brings him back to Kolkata for a change after noticing his withdrawal symptoms from the family members. Keshav strives to learn more about Shama and realises the mockery of their fate as both had drifted apart walking their separate paths, sharing their loneliness. Both Keshav and Shama are eventually drawn to one another once again, and the suggestion is that while love can cause the gravest injury to the heart, it is perhaps the only emotion that comes with a curative power. Refreshingly, no one around Keshav or Shama, including Reva, Paritosh or Nikumbh, raise an eyebrow when their attachment for each other becomes obvious and there is a tacit understanding they demonstrate. 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!

	Keshav Vaze ([[Amol Palekar]]) is an eminent businessman who ~~has grown into an industrialist struggling through~~ his life ~~and rising~~ from a small village. He is ~~separated~~ from his college sweetheart Shama ([[Sharmila Tagore]]) ~~due to an earthquake in which he loses~~ his ~~family~~ and ~~is left to take care~~ of ~~several young siblings, cousins~~.

Keshav Vaze ([[Amol Palekar]]) is an eminent businessman in [[Pune]], who started his life struggle from a small village and is now the owner of his large industrial empire. His business kept on growing larger and larger, making his day stacked with board meetings, conventions and tours. Keshav became a dear public figure surrounded by many people - but the days ended in the cluttered darkness of his own melancholy as years after years, Keshav has hidden his mysterious grief within himself. As a youngster, Keshav was a mute witness to the major tragedy of a massive earthquake at his village with the deaths of his parents and siblings, and took up the responsibility to support his brother's children, sacrificing his own life. In the parallel plot, he is often harassed by his niece Nira's (Aishwarya Narkar) estranged husband Makarand ([[Makarand Deshpande]]), who tries to claim his share in the property. On his 60th birthday, Keshav expresses his desire to retire from business when he feels that as a guardian of his late brother's children, he has reached a stage to retire from his life too. Thus, Keshav decides to find serenity for himself and shockingly contemplates suicide in the name of voluntary death.

			The film unfolds the mystery behind his decision of calling for early declaration from life when Keshav visits [[Kolkata]] along with his two psychiatric accquaintances, Dr. Paritosh ([[Sameer Dharmadhikari]]) and Dr. Nikumbh (Kishore Kadam), on an invitation from a medical foundation, where he has donated a huge sum for the construction of a hospital. While there, a slice of Keshav's frozen past accidentally gets scratched by the glimpse of his long-lost college sweetheart, Shama ([[Sharmila Tagore]]), who was once the anchor of his existence, and her mesmerizing beauty, poise and silence personify his vacuum of last 30 years. Shama is living like a patient still under trauma as a sculptor - who does not talk to anyone and is a recluse immersed in pottery. Moreover, she also turns out to be the single mother of Paritosh - whose biological father is Keshav.

			The film does not bring out the past relationship between the two in their first meeting after years, but unfolds the same in the very next meeting, when Keshav's adopted daughter Reva (Radhika Apte) brings him to Kolkata for a change after noticing his withdrawal symptoms from the family members. Both Keshav and Shama are drawn to one another once again - and the suggestion is that while love can cause the gravest injury to the heart - it is perhaps the only emotion that comes with a curative power. Refreshingly, no one around Shama or Keshav - including Paritosh, Reva or Nikumbh - raise an eyebrow when their attachment for each other becomes obvious and there is a tacit understanding they demonstrate. 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!
