Last month, I watched the film 'Anand' , the highly acclaimed film by critics and the public. It is one of the best movies made in the history of Indian cinema.
The film is mainly about a patient named Anand in his mid 20s who is suffering from the last stage of intestinal cancer. He had got very few days of his life to survive and comes to Bombay to meet his close friend where he is introduced to the famous doctor of the place,named Bhaskar Banerjee. Anand's cheerful and vibrant nature soothes Bhaskar,who has a contrasting nature and they become good friends. Anand has a pleasant nature of attracting people and making them his friends.
After some months, Anand's health starts to deteriorate and he is forced to stay in the home of Bhaskar. Slowly, Ananda starts to feel lonely because Bhaskar is a very busy doctor. One day, Anand and Bhaskar are having a serious talk and suddenly Bhaskar tells Anand that he doesn't have much time to live and Anand with his jolly nature replies, "My friend, Life should be great not long." The acting in the particular scene is so realistic that it will make you cry. After some days, Anand becomes so weak that he can't even walk on his own. Anand dies of lymphosarcoma of the intestine and Bhaskar gets very emotional. So, Bhaskar decides to write a book named, 'Anand'.
In a nutshell, this movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. It gives us a moral that no matter how short your life is; it should be great and you should live it to the fullest. This movie is a must watch for every movie lover as it teaches us a great life lesson that how hard your condition is, you should be able to become happy and satisfied. So, I would recommend every movie lover to give it a watch once in their free time.
