Anand

This is my all time favourite movie. I have watched it many times and can still watch it. The story of a guy called Anand who lives life to the fullest knowing truly well that he is going to die in 6 months. He is diagnosed with a disease called "lymphocercoma of the intestine". I dont know if this disease really exists or not, but it did become quite a popular term in the Indian film industry. Everything about the movie is just so sensible and beautiful. Everybody falls in love with Anand. He is is this always smiling, full of positive energy ,wonderful person one cannot help but like. What makes the movie more wonderful is the other characters whose lives are touched by Anand. They are all from different religion and backgrounds but they all pray to their respective Gods for just one thing -- that Anand survives. I loved the timimg of the last scene where Dr.Bhaskar shouts at a dead Anand saying "6 mahine se bol bol ke mera sar kha gaye ho!" and the tape plays ... "Babu Moshai..Zindgai aur maut upar wale ke hatho main hai jahanpana ....". The best part is how there is a delay created with silence while they tape this dialogue with Anand getting ready. This delay is then used amazingly well in the last scene.
I absolutely and completely loved the dialogues of the movie. Here are a lists of 5 of them which I never forget :
1) Zindagi lambi nahi badi honi chahiye.
2) Jab tak zinda hoon tab tak mara nahi, jab mar gaya to sala main he nahi.
3) Shayad ye gum he hai jo usse sambhale hue hai.
4) Zindagi main koi pasand aaya, usse baat ki, uss ke sath has liya ...
and finally the closing line of the movie,
5) Anand mara nahi, Anand marte nahi.

Oh here are a few more :
1) Ek mara nahi aur doosra marne ke liye paida ho gaya.
2) Mujhe aashirwad dijiye ki main bohot boloon, kabhi chup na hoon. Acha boloon. galti se bhi kisi ke liye bura na nikle mere mooh se.
3) Aise aadmi ko chhod ke to Bhagwaan bhi nahi reh sakte.

Well, It is considered a classic for all the right reasons!
