Anand

Super Star Rajesh Khanna's Anand - 1970





Introduction :

Anand (Hindi: आनंद, Urdu: آنند) is a Hindi film written and directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and released in 1971. It stars Super Star Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles; Super Star Khanna played the title role. The dialogues were written by Gulzar. They have a lyrical and poetic touch as the characters of Dr. Bhaskar Banerjee (played by Amitabh Bachchan) and the dialogue writer of film, Gulzar, are poets in the film and in reality.


Summary :

The story is about Anand Sehgal (Super Star Rajesh Khanna), a cancer (lymphosarcoma of the intestine) patient who believes in living his life to the fullest. He comes to Mumbai to live his last days there and to meet his friend Kulkarni (Ramesh Deo). Contrasting Anand is Bhaskar Banerjee (Amitabh Bachchan), a sober doctor, upset with life and the dark reality of his nation. Bhaskar's tête-à-tête with Anand makes him notice the colours behind all the despair and complexity in one's life and teaches him a lesson. After spreading happiness everywhere around himself and changing the lives of many, Anand, as destined, leaves them all, which inspires Bhaskar to write a book on his life.

The film is a narrative, as Bhaskar writes in his diary about his life before Anand, his first meeting, how his relationship with him changes from a doctor-patient to a friend and then to a friend for whom he can do anything, and how a dying man changes his way of thinking to a great extent.

Film Making :

Earlier Hrishi da had approached Lata Mangeshkar to work as a music director for this movie as she had already worked as a successful music director in Marathi movies under the pseudonym of "Anandghan". But she gracefully declined the offer and decided to sing for the film than composing it.
Making Anand was originally supposed to star famous Bollywood actors Kishore Kumar and Mehmood in the lead roles. One of the producers, N.C. Sippy, had earlier served as Mehmood's production manager. The character Babu Moshai was to be played by Mehmood. Hrishikesh was asked to meet Kishore Kumar to discuss the project. However, when Hrishikesh Mukherjee went to Kishore Kumar's house, he was driven away by the gatekeeper due to a misunderstanding. Kishore Kumar (himself a Bengali) had done a stage show organized by another Bengali man, and he was involved in a fight with this man over money matters. He had instructed his gatekeeper to drive away this "Bengali", if he ever visited the house. When Hrishikesh Mukherjee (also a Bengali) went to Kumar's house, the gatekeeper mistook him for the "Bengali" that Kishore Kumar had asked him to drive away. The incident hurt Mukherjee so much that he decided not to work with Kumar. Consequently, Mehmood had to leave the film as well, and new actors (Super Star Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan) were signed up.

Film expert and musicologist Rajesh Subramanian opines that the Hrishikesh Mukherjee shot the film in 28 days.

The character of Anand was inspired by Raj Kapoor, who used to call Hrishikesh Mukherjee as "Babu Moshay". It is believed that Mukherjee wrote the film when once Raj Kapoor was seriously ill and he thought that he may die. The film is dedicated to "Raj Kapoor and the people of Bombay".

Later, Anand was remade in Malayalam, with the name Chitrashalabham (Butterfly) starring Jayaram and Biju Menon.

Lyrics :


Kahin door jab din dhal jaae
Saanjh ki dulhan badan churaae
Chupake se aae
Mere kayaalon ke aangan mein
Koi sapanon ke dip jalaae, dip jalaae
Kahin door ...

Kabhi yoonhin, jab huin, bojhal saansen
Bhar aai baithe baithe, jab yoon hi aankhen
Tabhi machal ke, pyaar se chal ke
Chhue koi mujhe par nazar na aae, nazar na aae
Kahin door ...

Kahin to ye, dil kabhi, mil nahin paate
Kahin se nikal aae, janamon ke naate
Ghani thi ulajhan, bairi apanaa man
Apanaa hi hoke sahe dard paraaye, dard paraaye
Kahin door ...

Dil jaane, mere saare, bhed ye gahare
Kho gae kaise mere, sapane sunahare
Ye mere sapane, yahi to hain apane
Mujhase judaa na honge inake ye saaye, inake ye saaye
Kahin door ...

Lyrics :


Main ne tere liye hi saat rang ke sapane chune
Sapane surile sapane
Kuchh hans ke, kuchh gham ke
Teri aankhon ke saae churaae
Rasili yaadon ne
Main ne tere liye ...

Chhoti baaten
Chhoti chhoti baaton ki hai yaaden badi
Bhoole nahin biti hui ek chhoti ghadi
Janam janam se aankhen bichhaain
Tere liye in raahon mein
Main ne tere liye ...

Bhole bhaale
Bhole bhaale dil ko bahalaate rahe
Tanhaai mein tere kayaalon ko sajaate rahe
Kabhi kabhi to aavaaz dekar
Mujhako jagaayaa kvaabon ne
Main ne tere liye ...

Roothi raaten
Roothi hui raaton ko jagaayaa kabhi
Tere liye biti subah ko bulaayaa kabhi
Tere binaa bhi tere liye hi
Diye jalaaye raaton mein
Main ne tere liye ...
