Anand (English: Bliss) is a 1971 Indian drama film co-written and directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. It stars Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan in lead roles, with Khanna playing the title role. The dialogues were written by Gulzar. The film won several awards including the filmfare award for best film in 1972. In 2013, it was listed in Anupama Chopra's book "100 Films To See before You Die".
The film begins with a felicitation ceremony arranged for Dr. Bhaskar (Amitabh Bachchan) who has just written a book titled Anand. Bhaskar is a cancer specialist and after the congratulatory speeches, he reveals that the book is not a work of fiction but taken from his own diary and pertains to his experiences with a real person named Anand.
In flashback, Bhaskar is shown as an honest and committed physician who is happier dealing with genuine suffering than with the rich and their imagined ailments. He is blunt to a fault and does not conceal a patient's true predicament from him or her, regardless of the seriousness of the condition. Dr. Kulkarni, his friend, introduces him to Anand (Rajesh Khanna) who is dying from intestinal cancer. Bhaskar is struck by Anand's good cheer and is shocked to learn that Anand is aware of his true condition.

Plot: In her very first assignment as a tv investigative reporter, an intrepid young woman named Anasuya uncovers child slave labour exploitation by a prominent politician. An orphan herself, Anasuya adopts the young victim, a little girl named Lakshmi. Anasuya is now assigned to unearth the true facts behind a series of bizarre murders about which the police have oddly refused to reveal details to the public. She cleverly outfoxes Anand, a would-be amorous police inspector assigned to the special task force, into inadvertently revealing that some wacko has been murdering women -- removing one, always different, body part from each corpse before leaving behind a single red rose. The police belief that the killer only targets women is abruptly shattered when Anasuya's elderly male landlord is killed ... and Anasuya witnesses the killer fleeing the scene. Anasuya and Anand must work together to identify the suspect and prevent him from killing more people. But nothing is quite as it seems! Will Anasuya and Anand succeed in finding the killer before he kills them? Why is the serial killer on this peculiar path? And what is the unexpected connection with young Lakshmi?

Plot: Mrs. Desai is a Bombay-based widow and lives with her singer son, Ajay, his pregnant wife Sonia, and a second son, Anand, who is currently involved in a right-wing organization run by Subodh Malgaonkar. Things take a turn for the worst when militants storm the Babri Masjid in Uttar Pradesh and demolish it. Anger runs high amongst the Muslim community which lead to riots, even in far-off Bombay. The Bombay police move quickly and a curfew is imposed in the more sensitive parts such as Mohammed Ali Road, Jogeshwari, and Dharavi. It is on this day that Mrs. Desai goes to offer prayers at her usual place of worship, and it is here that she will be attacked by militants, set ablaze, admitted to the Holy Family Hospital with more than 80% burns, and virtually no chance of surviving. Ajay must now deal with conflicts with Sonia, who wants to leave India, and re-locate to England, where she wants to give birth to her child without any constraints as to religion and caste, on one hand, and on another attempt to cool a vengeful Anand into attacking other innocent Muslims. But the main thing Ajay has to do is carry out his mother's last request - to bury her - which is consistent with the Christian and Muslim religions. Ajay is the only one who knows the answer to this and must ensure that her last request is fulfilled despite of Subodh Malgaonkar's increasing pressure that his mother be cremated according to Hindu Rites.
