Anand

I can watch this movie everyday for 365 days straight.....this is the only movie I watch when iam depressed... No matter how my mood is..this movie always give a fresh feeling.. This was the only movie( literally the only one) which I watch again and again I usually don't like to watch a movie twice but I can see this film everyday If anyone asks me a movie suggestion, this movie will be the first movie in the list... And guess the second one.. yes you are right it is godavari.

Shekar kammula Always show a responsible women in his movies the way he potray women is just love be it Sita from godavari or bhanumathi from fida he never fails to show a responsible woman.

Each frame in the movie is a lesson to new directors or existing directors to know how a movie should be taken. Hats off to Sekhar. He is underestimated in Indian film industry. The director has got all the qualities in taking this movie in the range of Satyajir ray, Adoor.. Every character is portrayed effectively in the movie. Though it's simple story, it's been taken to such extent it can be considered to one of the best in India. I don't have enough adjectives to praise the movie. Just as the way the life goes in day-today atmosphere, the movie has been taken. Though the songs in Indian movies are considered to a weak area, songs in this movie has given extra energy to the potential of the movie..especially background score..it's amazing

The movie is not done without Heroine and Director should be Praised to Bring Rupa Character Alive The Movie is Great with relishing Moments Kamalini Performance...Music(without Music This Movie is Nothing)Romance etc

Hmmm I watched this movie on a recommendation. To be fair, I don't like most bollywood films.

So what did i like? The acting was good. Both the lead actors are very charming, and do a good job.

The humor worked pretty well. The dialog/script was pretty good. Rupa's character and the acting was especially good.

I also liked that this was a rather unique heroine and not cookie cutter.

The supporting characters were very good (the 2 kids, raju, anita)

What did I not like?

• Maybe it's a cultural thing that I missed but why does the lead male always do very Stalkerish things when "pursuing"? It really bugged me.

• Rahul/Rahul's mother are too evil. Rahul was actually a pretty well written character right until his last scene.

• Definitely dragged in the second half.

• The whole Anand not liking her and then she not liking him was one too many.

• The suspension of disbelief is still a little too high.

Anand is one of those low-budget but well taken movies. It's a "cup of coffee" entertainment, with no violence, blood or "jump out of your seat" excitement which most telugu films have. However, it does have some massala of it's own. Roopa is a headstrong and down-to-earth young woman who is not afraid to confront any sort of situation, even her offensive mother-in-law's distaste for her. She even backs out of the wedding because her fiancé doesn't stand up for her. However, her air of confidence and independence is enough to make Anand, a rich young gentleman living in the city, aspire to be her new husband. His father accidentally kills her parents in a car crash anyways, so why not pay her back? But Roopa is not the kind who will fall for charming smiles and polite behavior, she puts him through a bunch of situations, continuing to be rude and a pain. It's not until he stands up for her and saves her life that she understands she loves him too. But complications ensue
