Скачать или смотреть Anand | Has It Aged Well? ft.

This week on ‘Has It Aged Well?’ Abbas and Urjita are joined by one of our favourite guests, comedian and quizzer Kumar Varun.

We’re discussing one of the most beloved Hindi films of all time, ‘Anand’ from 1971 directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and starring Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, and Johnny Walker. Topics discussed include: Rajesh Khanna’s superstardom, our relationship with Hrishi da’s ‘middle of the road’ cinema, Anand’s impact on hindi films and hindi film characters, the humanism of the story and what we would do if faced with the dilemma of the central character of this film.
