Anand (1971) Country: India Language: Hindi Year: 1971 Color/BW: COLOR Category: Feature Film Genre: Drama
Description Anand is the story of Anand Saigal (Rajesh Khanna), an unusual and interesting man, who lived what remained of his life fully, completely. Treating every living moment as magic, every minute as a miracle, every hour a gift. A man whose life inspires his friend Dr Bhaskar Banerjee (Amitabh Bachchan) to write an award winnng book.
A terminally ill cancer patient, Anand walks into Dr Bannerjee's life just when he is about to sink into cynicism. Anand's selfless, boisterous, humorous non-stop chatter changes everyone around him. His attempts to get the tongue tied Dr Bhaskar to admit his love for Renu, the schoolteacher. His refusal to stay in bed and be treated like a patient. His metaphorical search for Murarilal, his so called long lost friend, his total commitment to live for others and not wallow in self pity. These are very sensitively brought out by one of India's finest director.

Description For years an aging Rukmini Bai (Shabana Azmi) has been the Madame of a brothel in Hyderabad, India. One day she gets the news that she now has a new landlord in Mr. Gupta (Kulbhushan Kharbanda), whose daughter is to marry the mayor's son Sushil, shortly. Lead by City Councillor, Shantidevi, the people in this town demand that this bordello be moved elsewhere, preferably on the outskirts of the town, and they do succeed, compelling Rukmini to move with her women to their new location, which happens to be near the Dargah of Baba Karak Shah. Ironically, this attracts a lot of people, and the patronage to Rukmini's bordello increases.
