Duet is a 1994 Tamil musical film directed by K. Balachander, starring Prabhu, Hindi film actress Meenakshi Seshadri, Ramesh Aravind and Prakashraj. The film's score and soundtrack is composed by A. R. Rahman. Duet's score is centred on the saxophone. The movie was also dubbed in Hindi as Tu Hi Mera Dil and in Telugu under the same name.
The movie is inspired by the 1990 French comedy Cyrano de Bergerac which was about a swashbuckler who’s self-conscious about his long nose and feels his love will go unrequited. When the girl he loves gets infatuated with a dasher, he helps him by pouring his emotions in poems soaked in love. In the Tamil movie, the hero's ungainly nose was replaced by his girth.
In a bridge across a sea, saxophone music is heard which is played by Guna (Prabhu Ganesan). He recollects about the tragedy which happened two years back in his life.
Guna and Siva (Ramesh Aravind) are two brothers who own an orchestra and are very popular with their performances. Both are very affectionate towards each other. Both of them look for their love and eventually find one. The girl whom Siva chose, accepted his love while the girl chose by Guna insults him of his fat size which hurts him. Siva's love fails and he is heart broken. To console him Guna shifts to city with Siva and his sister. Guna's father had an illegal affair with a woman named Sitamma during their childhood and in death bed his father gets a promise from Guna that he should accommodate her with them as she does not have any relation. Guna who lost his mother invites her to live with them. Sitamma accepts on condition that nobody in the family should know how she is related to them and also she should be introduced as a cook. Unwillingly Guna accepts for that. Guna being a saxophone player, music director and lyricist and Siva as singer flourish in their career. Sitamma finds Guna is a very affectionate person and Siva is a very sensitive person who cannot bear any downfalls in life even to a little extent.
