Anand Anand Saigal (Rajesh Khanna), an unusual, interesting man, who lived what remained of his life fully, completely. Treating every living moment as magic, every minute a miracle, every hour a gift. A man whose life inspired his friend Dr. Bhaskar Banerjee (Amitabh Bachchan) to write a book that wins the coveted Saraswati Award. Anand Saigal is a terminally ill, cancer patient, who with his non stop chatter, boisterous humour, and never say die attitude touches the lives of everyone he comes in contact with. His metaphorical search for his long lost friend Murarilal is the high point of the film. One of India's finest directors, Hrishikesh Mukherjee teams up with Gulzar as lyricist and dilaogue writer to give us some of the best lines in Hindi Cinema and some hauntingly lovely songs.

When everything seemed to have reached the breaking point, Shivnath watched with dismay and helpessness, as he feared that his house, his family all would just collapse like a pack of cards. When everything seemed to have been lost, there comes a man. A cook, but no ordinary Bawarchi this, though the dishes he served were never less than delicious. In dact, his extraordinary capabilities made the family look at him with suspicion. They could not help wondering how could a cook sing, dance, write and recite poems, be adept at even the most advanced mathematics ready to solve great engineering problems, and even prescribe medicine to all. The "Bawarchi" wins his place in the hearts of the family. However all of a sudden, the Bawarchi disappears & so do the valuable & the cash with him. Has he stolen it or...
