Anand
Hrishikesh Mukherjee informed his writer Gulzar to open the film in such a way that the audience knows in the first scene itself that Anand (played by Rajesh Khanna) is dead. He did not want the audience to be in a state of suspense till the end and keep guessing whether Anand will survive or not. By doing that Hrishikesh Mukherjee wanted to concentrate on the essence of the film on how Anand wants to live life fullest and make the best of the time he has.,Anand Saigal: Babumoshai, life should be big, not long.,Featured in Mere Apne (1971),Zindagi kaisi hai paheli

Lyrics by Yogesh,Sure enough, there is no vacant person under the prestigious name. Anan is full of passion and joy in life, life and death, and the attitude of life is full of enthusiasm and joy. Such Anan will not die, because happiness will never die. "Leave sorrow to yourself, give happiness to others" is a very simple sentence, but it has the power to change people's hearts, and even change the attitude towards people and things around them. It is a chicken soup, but I am willing to drink it.,
