Sai Parānjpye (Marathi: सई परांजपे) (born 19 March 1938) is a movie director and a screenwriter in India. She is the director of award-winning movies Sparsh, Katha, Chasme Buddoor, and Disha. She has written and directed many Marathi plays like Jaswandi, Sakkhe Shejari, Albel
Sai Paranjpye was born on 1 December, 1954 in Mumbai to Russian Youra Sleptzoff and Shakuntala Paranjpye. Sleptzoff was a Russian watercolor artist and a son of a Russian general. Shakuntala Paranjpye was an actor in Marathi and Hindi films, in the 1930s and 40s, including in V. Shantaram's Hindi social classic, Duniya Na Mane (1937), and later became a writer and a social worker, nominated to Rajya Sabha, Upper House of Indian Parliament and awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1991.
Sai's parents divorced shortly after her birth. Her mother raised Sai in the household of her own father, Sir R. P. Paranjpye, who was a renowned mathematician and an educationist and who served in 1944–47 as India's High Commissioner in Australia. Sai thus grew up and received education many cities in India, including Pune, and a few years in Canberra, Australia. As a child, she used to walk up to her uncle, Achyut Ranade, a noted filmmaker of the ’40s and ’50s, up Fergusson Hill in Pune, who would tell stories as if he were narrating a screenplay. Sai took to writing early in her life: Her first book of fairy tales, Mulānchā Mewā (in Marathi), was published when she was eight.

Sai Paranjpye on Hindi film 'Saaz'
Sai Paranjpye speaks about her film 'Saaz. She says, "The theme of the film is actually a woman's' struggle to find her place in the sun and the backdrop is the Bombay film industry, the music part of it, in fact, it's the story of a playback singer and Shabana is in the lead. She plays the role of this playback singer who is trying to struggle to make good to be successful.
This role that I have written, the role of Himan is one of the nicest roles that I have written perhaps after the role of the blind principal in 'Sparsh' which Naseeruddin did so splendidly and won an award for that. After that, I think it's a brief role, not a very lengthy role in terms of footage on the screen but I feel it's really very well written and we were looking for someone with a very vibrant personalit...

The film skillfully weaves the recollection of the main char...

Shabana Azmi on working with Sai Paranjpye.

Sparsh was the first film that she did in which I acted and then Disha after that then this film which for me is really nice because in spite of being a woman director she has resisted from making a film which totally revolves around the woman and this the first time that she is doing it and much as she protests that I get on her nerves and she wants to get rid of this film because she cannot tolerate one more question that I am going to ask her every time if you watch the two of us you feel they are fighting with each other and thwn the next minute we love each other so there is a great ...

The plot is melodramatic, and the film is shot in the genre of Bollywood (Bombay Hollywood) entertainment films except for the fact that Sai Paranjpye brings a female variation to that genre.

Sai Paranjpye speaks about her film 'Saaz. She says, "The theme of the film is actually a woman's' struggle to find her place in the sun and the backdrop is the Bombay film industry, the music part of it, in fact, it's the story of a playback singer and Shabana is in the lead. She plays the role of this playback singer who is trying to struggle to make good to be successful.
This role that I have written, the role of Himan is one of the nicest roles that I have written perhaps after the role of the blind principal in 'Sparsh' which Naseeruddin did so splendidly and won an award for that. After that, I think it's a brief role, not a very lengthy role in terms of footage on the screen but I feel it's really very well written and we were looking for someone with a very vibrant personality, a bubbly kind of humor."

Since song and dance numbers are a very important part of commercial Indian films, there are many professional singers who specialize in playing back (dubbing) their singing voice on to motion pictures. Especially famous are two sisters who reportedly cover 80% of all female songs. Director Sai Paranjpye based her film on the story of these legendary sisters. The film skillfully weaves the recollection of the main character, the younger sister Bansi (gracefully played by Shammbana Azmi of international acclaim), as it reveals how a woman restores her lost identity. The plot is melodramatic, and the film is shot in the genre of Bollywood (Bombay Hollywood) entertainment films except for the fact that Sai Paranjpye brings a female variation to that genre.

Shabana Azmi on working with Sai Paranjpye. She says, "I think it's a very special relationship and I think that as women we bond with each other in a particular way plus we have come a long way together. Sparsh was the first film that she did in which I acted and then Disha after that then this film which for me is really nice because in spite of being a woman director she has resisted from making a film which totally revolves around the woman and this the first time that she is doing it and much as she protests that I get on her nerves and she wants to get rid of this film because she cannot tolerate one more question that I am going to ask her every time if you watch the two of us you feel they are fighting with each other and thwn the next minute we love each other so there is a great kind of relaxation that we have."

Sai Parānjpye (Marathi: सई परांजपे) (born 19 March 1938) is a movie director and a screenwriter in India. She is the director of award-winning movies Sparsh, Katha, Chasme Buddoor, and Disha. She has written and directed many Marathi plays like Jaswandi, Sakkhe Shejari, Albel
Sai Paranjpye was born on 1 December, 1954 in Mumbai to Russian Youra Sleptzoff and Shakuntala Paranjpye. Sleptzoff was a Russian watercolor artist and a son of a Russian general. Shakuntala Paranjpye was an actor in Marathi and Hindi films, in the 1930s and 40s, including in V. Shantaram's Hindi social classic, Duniya Na Mane (1937), and later became a writer and a social worker, nominated to Rajya Sabha, Upper House of Indian Parliament and awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1991.
Sai's parents divorced shortly after her birth. Her mother raised Sai in the household of her own father, Sir R. P. Paranjpye, who was a renowned mathematician and an educationist and who served in 1944–47 as India's High Commissioner in Australia. Sai thus grew up and received education many cities in India, including Pune, and a few years in Canberra, Australia. As a child, she used to walk up to her uncle, Achyut Ranade, a noted filmmaker of the ’40s and ’50s, up Fergusson Hill in Pune, who would tell stories as if he were narrating a screenplay. Sai took to writing early in her life: Her first book of fairy tales, Mulānchā Mewā (in Marathi), was published when she was eight.
Director Sai Paranjpye recently reminisced about her one attempt at a commercial film ... In a recent conversation with The CultureCafe by AMV, Sai Paranjpye shared her experience of working on an unfinished project with Dharmendra.
With the passing of Zakir Hussain on Dec. 16, an era in the history of Indian and world percussion has come to an end ... Another, lesser-known performance that stands out is in Saaz with Shabana Azmi, the 1997 Sai Paranjpye musically-themed movie ... .
MUMBAI ... (Raju Shinde/HT Photo) ... PP published my earlier plays like ‘Jaswandi’ and ‘Aalbel’,” says filmmaker and playwright Sai Paranjpye, who is in the middle of going through the proofs of her forthcoming play ‘Ivalese Rop’ with the editors at PP ... ....
On her next visit, I have decided to screen for her the 1981 filmChashme Buddoor, Sai Paranjpye’s love letter to Delhi... In her autobiography, A Patchwork Quilt, Paranjpye, who lived and worked in ...
Over time, it has substantially healed ...Beginning his journey in the film industry with a supporting role in the 1979 filmHamare Tumhare, Bedi gained fame through his humourous performance in Sai Paranjpye's romantic comedy Chashme Buddoor ... .
I've known Jaya and Amitabh for a very long time now ...Dharmendra and Shabana were supposed to do a Sai Paranjpye film almost four decades ago but it got shelved and they did not get a chance to work together as the film was shelved ... Phir Se ... .
... the love story of TonyBraganza and Nancy Perreira blossoms in a local train in Baton Baton Mein, and filmmaker Sai Paranjpye made the Delhi of the 1980s an integral character in her romantic comedy.
But the play also courted controversy ... He was also picked for the acclaimed director Sai Paranjpye's children's theatre group ... Sai wrote the script and Agashe, along with other children in the group, was selected for the film.
Chashme Baddoor, directed by Sai Paranjpye, is the story of college graduate Siddharth (Farooq), who, unlike his two friends and roommates, Omi (Rakesh Bedi) and Jomo (Ravi Baswani), is engrossed in books.
Two years earlier, however, Padma Bhushan Sai Paranjpye, stage stalwart and better known as a director on both stage and screen, had written her own directorial, Sparsh.
