The characteristic of a great film is a story well presented on screen so as to grab the attention as well as the emotion of the audience. Anand had all the ingredients of a great film. Produced and directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee,, co-written and dialogue by Gulzar starring Rajesh Khanna in the lead role, with a supporting cast including Amitabh Bachchan.
The film was released on 12th March 1971 won several awards, including the Filmfare Award for Best Film in 1972. The film was a super hit and the third highest-grossing film of 1971. It has since gained a cult following and is hailed as one of the greatest films ever made.
Besides getting the Best Film Award, it also got: Best Actor: Rajesh Khanna. Best Supporting Actor: Amitabh Bachchan, Best Dialogue: Gulzar, Best Editing: Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Best Story: Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The film also got National Award for the Best Hindi Film.
The film has everything excellent. Acting, direction, story, music, dialogues etc... everything is fabulous. It has drama, humour, emotions in dollops. It is a story of a dying man who looks at life with a positive attitude and enjoys his time knowing fully well his disease is incurable and that he is going to die soon.
Rajesh Khanna as Anand was absolutely brilliant, Amitabh Bachchan was fantastic as Babumoshai. Another highlight was its music by Salil Chowdurywho comes up with an absolutely fantastic score and singers Mukhesh and Manna Dey do complete justice to his tunes.
