Plot/Synopsis
Many critics rank this classical movie amongst the “Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films”and also as “Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s best film”.
The story is about Anand Sehgal, a cancer 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. Contrasting Anand is Bhaskar Banerjee, 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.
