Reasons to watch this movie
before you die,
·
You can live life two ways either keep cribbing
and complaining about what you don’t have and how unlucky you are or utilize
whatever you have and enjoy the life to the fullest. Anand is a story of such a
man whose days are numbered due to deadly cancer. But rather than crying over
it he chose to fully utilized and enjoy every moment of his remaining life. He
spread joy, pure Anand till his last breath.
·
This is Late Rajesh Khanna’s best acting
performance. Rajesh Khanna was first Superstar of Bollywood. When he did this
movie he was at pinnacle of his career.
·
It was also one of the best performances of
Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh was next superstar after Rajesh Khanna, who ruled
Hindi film industry for decades. But when he did this movie he was just a
starting off his career. He played supporting kind of second lead role in the
movie but made his presence felt with his performance.
·
Hrishikesh Mukherjee is one of my favorite
directors. I would say each and every movie of Hrishikesh Mukharjee is a must
watch. He was legend in Bollywood whose contribution to the industry was
immense.
·
And lastly but not least at all, watch this
movie for the soulful and timeless music by Salil Chaudhary. Be it,
‘Zindagi kaisi hai paheli’, ‘Maine
tere liye hi’ or ‘Kahin door jab din dhal jayen’
Melody of the songs, the lyrics and rendition of the song will touch your
heart.
