Plot
The story revolves around the egoistic ambitions of a singer which is presented on the backdrop of two musical gharanas of Indian classical music represented by Pandit Bhanu Shankar Shastri and Khansaheb.[3] Living in a princely state of Vishrampur, Khansaheb is unable to defeat Panditji in the annual singing competition for "Rajgayak" (Royal Singer), arranged by the Maharaja of the state. However, Khansaheb continues to challenge Panditji until fourteen years later when Panditji leaves the stage without singing. Khansaheb thus becomes the winner and is given the status of the royal singer. The king also presents Khansaheb with "Katyar" (a dagger) and proclaims that the state would pardon one murder if committed by the royal singer with this dagger in self-defense. Soon after his victory, Khansaheb and his daughter, Zareena move to the haweli (Royal singer's mansion previously occupied by Panditji and his daughter, Uma).They come to know that Panditji has left the state without informing anything to anyone, not even Uma.
Sadashiv arrives at the haweli to learn music from Panditji, with whom he had childhood associations of music. All these years, Sadashiv hadn't been able to pursue music due to his family conditions. He is disappointed to learn that Panditji has given up singing and is nowhere to be found. Khansaheb gets insecure on listening Sadashiv's rendition of Panditji's songs and throws him out. With Zareena's help, Sadashiv locates Uma and learns the truth about Panditji's renunciation of music. It is then revealed that during his Agra visit, how Khansaheb's wife and his brother-in-law trick and poison Panditji to enable Khansaheb to win the coveted competition.
In a fit of fury, Sadashiv enters Khansaheb's mansion with the intention of murdering him. However, Zareena dissuades him and challenges him to take revenge on Khansaheb by singing better than him. Sadashiv then starts learning music from Uma through Panditji's book written before his departure. Later they meet Panditji at a temple festival and bring him home. Panditji convinces Sadashiv that he should learn music from Khansaheb and requests Zareena to convince Khansaheb. Khansaheb certainly refuses to teach Sadashiv, however, Sadashiv decides to learn music from him using different ways.
One day, Khansaheb is performing in a local program where Sadashiv listens in disguise. However, Sadashiv suddenly breaks out in a song and when challenged, wagers to out-do the Khan. Sadashiv loses, and as per the terms of the challenge, becomes a slave of Khansaheb and gets his voice bound over to Khansaheb. Now he cannot sing without the permission of Khan. Zareena sees the unfairness in all this arrangement and persuades Khansaheb to set free his (Sadashiv's) voice. Then Sadashiv challenges the Khansaheb in the annual competition— what follows is the essence of Indian philosophy of music.[4]
