I dont think it is possible to change the functionality of the Save button in the Standard layout, but what can be done is creating a VF Page and using a custom controller or a controller extension for the same.

Hi Sandip,

Create an extension class ,as shown in the below example,
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_controller_extension.htm

And then you can override the save function in the extension class. code looks like below.
public PageReference save() { 
// Put your own stuff here
PageReference newPage = New PageReference('/apex/<page name you want to return>');
newPage.getParameters().put('id',ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id'));
newPage.setRedirect(true);
return newPage;
}

Some documents to help you.
