About Sazaa
Ashok runs from a scream in a bungalow and is hit by Kamini's car. She takes him to hospital, visits him, and gets him a manager's job with her father Mothumal. At dinner he meets the mute maid Asha, a childhood friend, and they fall in love. His father, Major Durjan, had locked him in a room after Rani Maa, who looks like Durjan's dead wife, blamed Ashok for abandoning her daughter on their wedding night.
