Banerjee: *Tell me honestly… did you truly come here to meet Anand?
*
Renu: *Yes… I came to meet Anand-ji.
Dr. Bhaskar: Easy for you to say, Anand. You laugh as if tomorrow will never come.*
Anand: *That’s exactly why I laugh, Babumoshai. Tomorrow may not come so why waste today in fear? Life should be full, not just long.
*
Well I watched a good goated flim after a long time..
Believe me, it's more than just a movie; truly a inspiration and a motivation!!

"When I took degree from college, I vowed to save lives and now at every step I feel I’m trying to save death."
"Babumushai life should be great not long."
"As long as I’m alive, I’m not dead. When I’m dead I’m not there so why be scared of death."
"He laughed and joked every minute yet knowing his death was near I wonder if he was laughing at death or at life."
"Isn’t melancholy beautiful , Babumushai?"
"He hid his sorrow from me today. Maybe that sorrow is the essence of his life otherwise, how is it possible for a man who is deteriorating day by day to have such a stable mind? "
"Our spirit of joy is damned with melancholy and it poisons our cheerfulness."

जब तक जिंदा हूँ तब तक मरा नहीं… जब मर गया, साला मैं ही नहीं।

This is one of those rare movies that feels like a hug and a heartbreak all at once. Rajesh Khanna’s Anand is this vibrant, larger-than-life guy who somehow makes you laugh even when you know what’s coming. Amitabh Bachchan’s quiet, brooding Dr. Bhaskar is the perfect balance, and together, they create this beautiful bond that stays with you. The dialogues hit deep, the music feels like a warm wave of nostalgia, and the film just leaves you staring at the credits with tears in your eyes, wondering why life is so unfair but also so beautiful.
