In the ending scene of the Bollywood film Masaan aka Fly Away Solo two characters, a boy and girl, take a ride to the river coast at another side of Ganga in a boat. The boy says that
वैसे संगम दो बार आना चाहिए, एक बार अकेले, और एक बार किसी और के साथ
Translation: One should come twice to the Sangam, once alone and once with someone else.
What's the significance of that dialogue?
I think it could be because Sangam means "Milan" or "coming together". But I am not able to completely understand either. It intrigued me which is why I googled it and came across your post. The rivers come alone there and then meet and become one which is probably why they say you should come there alone and then again with someone to show the "Sangam" your own "Sangam" perhaps!
One comes to the sangam alone at death and with partner when alive.
In masaan, a place where people come after death, alone.
Hope... where they show them going together to Sangam and his saying the last line is symbolic of new beginnings and hope.
