Shabd (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shabd (Hindi:शब्द, Urdu: شبد) is a movie released in 2005, produced by Pritish Nandy Communications, and directed by Leela Bajaj. It stars Sanjay Dutt, Aishwarya Rai and Zayed Khan.
Shaukat (Sanjay Dutt) is a Booker Prize-winning author, but is criticized by his friends for not writing realistic stories. He decides to manufacture a realistic story by making his wife, Antara (Aishwarya Rai) play with the emotions of Yash (Zayed Khan) and pursue a relationship with him. Things go wrong as Antara begins to have real feelings for Yash.
The movie was not regarded highly by most critics, and was a box office flop. However, it garnered attention for actress Aishwarya Rai performing a love scene with Sanjay Dutt.
After the film released, the Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences selected Shabd's script for its library. [1] Yadav, the director, responded with, "I am very proud that our hard work has been appreciated and it reinforces our belief in the script regardless of its box office results, I am delighted by this honour."

Shabd also has an esoteric context in spiritual discourse, where it means "Naam" or "Word" (as in the Christian sense of John 1, "In the Beginning was the Word"). See Naam and Sant Mat.
