Subeer Kumar (Amitabh) is effectively on his strategy to turning into India's prime pop singer. He has no intention of getting married, however when he goes to go to his Durga Mausi (Mausi=mom's sister), he falls in love with spiritual, easy Uma, by whose voice he is enchanted. He marries her and returns to Bombay the place he proclaims that he won't ever sing with out Uma once more. Nonetheless, Subeer encourages Uma to sing alone and when her reputation is quickly larger than his personal, the seed of jealousy begins to develop... The main distinction between Uma and Subeer is that she sings for herself, whereas he sings for the general public. It's the distinction between geet and sangeet. That is the foundation of the factor that later causes issues, and based mostly on which the film is called.
