Anand

Dashing Rajesh Khanna, in the performance of his career, and Amitabh Bachchan, in his breakout dramatic role, play respectively Anand, a terminally ill patient, and Dr. Bannerjee, his dedicated friend and physician. A humanist, heart-on-its-sleeve account unfolds of Anand's last days, in which neither the patient nor the movie succumbs to bitterness and self-pitying. Rather, Anand is among Bollywood's most joyful testaments to friendship and to the glory of life lived (and loved) at full speed. Gorgeous music and lyrics accompany Anand's pairing of two dynamic actors working their full range.
