a masterpiece, though is better appreciated if you've had an Indian upbringing, especially in the kind of life we used to live in the last century. but that should not stop anybody's heart from being moistened by Anand - its that kind of a film which makes you feel that cloudy ball in your throat, a feeling we hardly have today. i never saw Anand on big screen, i.e. a theater, didn't get a chance to. but seen it countless number of times i have, each leaving me haunted by that epic last scene, and each letting me discover another gleam in its brilliance. A great story, in fact that storyness of it struck me first, its difficult to come across a character like Anand's (Rajesh Khanna)in real life, laughing his way to the end. it is for souring such larger-than-lifeness one sees cinemas at times. Amitabh as Dr. Bhaskar with wells of life just under his brooding exterior, was a giveaway at such an early stage of his career that he was destined for a place much beyond the ordinary. Hrishikesh Mukherjee crafted it to perfection. Salil chowdhury excelled with some of the most melodious tunes ever and the co actors could reach the lofty heights the film dared them to. but finally it was Rajesh Khanna. yes a shade melodramatic, a touch idiosyncratic may be but you can't deny the vivacity with which he demands your attention, slowly takes over your heart and you don't want him to die and when he does your tears tell you that you just been watching a film. yeah some films can make you do that. not a tear jerker, but a weller-up of them. its not good in a way though, 'cause it makes you search for such standards ever since, and the disappointment is bitter. but then there's always the DVD and the remote!

In 1970, Rajesh Khanna was the biggest star and was shooting for multiple movies along with Anand. But it seems he would take some time out from his other schedules would come to Hrishi da and ask him if he could shoot the next scene from Anand. That's how eager and dedicated he was to Anand. Probably he knew that this was the movie that he would be remembered for. The movie narrates like the pages of a diary of one Dr. Bhaskar Bannerjee and his relationship with Anand Sehgal who he treated for cancer. Despite of such a heavy theme the movie is high spirited just like Anand Sehgal who likes to laugh in the face of death. Special mention should be made for attention given to each character in the movie. All the characters are well etched and everyone has given a truly inspired performance. The last sequence must be the most dramatic sequence that I have seen in any movie. Music by Salil Chaudhary and lyrics by Yogesh and Gulzar are apt and wonderful. Definitely one of the best movies made in India.

If you pull a prank on an unknown person going down your street, what are the chances that he would appreciate it. I don't think he would like it unless you act truly humble and sweet. Anand pulls such pranks, and one person Issabhai(Johnny Walker) liked it so much that he cried when Anand died. Similarly, a nurse D'souza created a similar affection for him in just a few meetings. All characters are too emotional to be called humans. Rajesh Khanna knew how to play two or three characters. And in his whole career, he just kept working on such roles, that made him the biggest superstar ever. His acting, like always, is nothing short of convincing, but nothing exceptional either. Music is heart of the film. The person who wrote the lyrics, sorry, I forgot his name, never worked again. That's really surprising as this is easily among the top 30 -40 music albums I know. Anand wants to live a happy life, of which a little is remaining and so always keeps smiling. But for me, it feels too fairytale like for my taste.

A movie which shows true tradition of India, most of the movies today are made out of liberal minds. There is a reason our grandparents don't watch those, most of the movies are over sexualized and contradictory to tradition of India where we were taught to look other women as our sisters. Aside from this, the movie is very cheerful as well as sorrowful as our life is. The acting's great and cinematography may feel goofy sometimes but the movie is world class.

It's is a good movie, but in my personal opinion, the story is not well developed. It could make a continous story but instead of that you have a story that seems different in every scene, with an only common factor which is the Illness of Anand. In the good part shows a different approach to death and how greatful we have to be of being alive. The strong point of the movie is the message that Anand gives to everyone. Life is now and we can not waste it any second of it. Deserved watching? Yes. Must watch? Not necessarily.

After winning a literature award a young doctor describes the inspiration for his book: Anand, a terminally-ill man who is determined to live life to the fullest. Anand's behaviour soon rubs off on the doctor. A well-meaning film: its themes of dealing with death, living life to the fullest, staying positive and lifting other up have great merit and are well worth exploring. However, the film never really makes the most of these foundations and meanders along. The character of Anand is often more annoying than uplifting. There are some good comedic moments but those would be the rare highlights. Also, in terms of profoundness and poignancy, the humour and levity (or attempts at them) detract from these, making for a film that's neither fish nor fowl: too light-hearted to be taken seriously and too sombre a subject to laugh at.

Anand is the most impressive movie by the director "Hrishikesh Mukherjee". his other movies like "Abhimaan" and "Milli" that also shows his directional sensitivity. Anand is a movie which speaks more than it scripts. It tells us more than its characters narrates the story. The impressive character no doubt is of Rajesh Khannna, but Amitabh is too much impressive. The "Anand" tells us how a man decided and then spent rest of his short life. A Man who had short time, but he wanted to live too much. for him, not the quantity but quality of life does matter. I recommend to see this movies more than once. And every time u see this movie, u'll end up with more brighter definition of film and life. The movie is too simple to narrate here, and tooo deep to express what i actually think about it.

I saw this movie at the tender age of 13, the era, when Shammi Kapoor was rollicking on the slopes of Kashmir screaming yahoo! Yes, this word was invented by Shammi Kapoor! who I hear is a computer buff, I wonder if he has Yahoo email..yahoo@yahoo.com! When you can remember when and where you saw a movie it says something about the impact it made on you. A haunting melody, an exuberant performance, or a damsel actress that you had a secret crush on (I should confess that it was Asha Parekh!) So the scene that was struck in my young mind was, Rajesh Khanna, singing "Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaaye"...a haunting melody by any standards. So, when I wanted to watch a movie in solitude, one of my few choices was "Anand". I wanted the nostalgia that only a good movie can bring. Yes, the movie not only brought nostalgia, but also brought tears, melancholy and sadness, at which time, I realized, that a great director has worked me over. No one could have done justice to portraying a cancer stricken patient as Rajesh Khanna did in this classic. Khanna, was an upcoming actor at that time, and somehow the films he starred had some enchanting melodies and hummable tunes. "Anand", is one of the rare movies you enjoy watching because there is this silence afterwords, where words spoken would be a nuisance. The performance is subtle as compared to some of the garish over acting that we see by the imbecile Khans in the latter year movies so much so you hope there is never be a remake of this. This is one of the best performance by an actor, wherever this profession is practiced. Like any good movie, this was an amalgamation of talent, like the direction of Hrishikesh Mukherjee, music of Salil Chaudhry and a fine supporting cast that included Amitab Bachchan, who, incidentally, is subdued. That leaves me wondering if he was watching and learning from a great fellow actor at work. All said and done, this movie is etched in my memory, so much so, this is one of the Top Ten Indian Movies on my short list. Yes, a sheer Poetry in Motion.
