Anuraag is a 1972 IndianHindi-languagedrama film, directed byShakti Samanta. The film starsMoushumi Chatterjee, in her debut as a heroine, andVinod Mehra in lead roles. The Shakti Samanta fixtureRajesh Khanna, having earlier madeAradhana (1969) andKati Patang (1971) with Samanta, makes a special appearance. The music is byS. D. Burman. Initially, Samanta was unsure if the distributors would buy a film with such a storyline and had shared the idea with Rajesh Khanna, who encouraged Samanta and volunteered to make an extended appearance for the film, and also distributed the film under the banner "Shakti-Raj" (indicating Shakti Samanta and Rajesh Khanna).[1]
The film became a semi-hit, while doing extremely well in big cities.[2] and won theFilmfare Best Movie Award for the year. It was later remade into the Telugu filmAnuragalu (1975) withSridevi in her first leading role. A. Bhimsingh also remade it in Malayalam asRaagam (1975). It was also remade in Tamil asNeela Malargal (1979) and in Kannada asChiranjeevi (1976).
A blind sculptor, Shivani (Moushumi Chatterjee) stays in an ashram and makes friends with a young boy Chandan(Satyajeet), who is suffering from cancer. She falls in love with Rajesh (Vinod Mehra). Rajesh asks his parents to permit him to marry her, to which his mother agrees, but his father refuses. Then, an eye specialist reveals that an eye replacement would cure her. Later, as a dying wish, the young boy donates his eyes to her.[3]
The soundtrack of the film contains 5 songs. The music is composed byS.D. Burman, with lyrics byAnand Bakshi[4]
