Rajesh Khanna, first superstar of Bollywood has given back to back hits with great performances which makes it much more difficult to arrive at a conclusion stating his best performance. For me, his best performance will always be Anand.
Anand is not those type of films where he is seen dancing around the trees or a musical where he is shaking leg with a gorgeous leading lady.
A character who is aware that he is going to die after a few months, accepting it and spreading joy in the life of every single person he meets. Rajesh Khanna as Anand is absolutely brilliant.
Dressed in a kurta-pyjama, this talkitive character is not only able to make you laugh and cry but also able to cause anxiety and give you goosebumps.
He is smiling most of the time in the film which shows that he is ready to embrace death. Full credit to the dialogues and direction of Hrishikesh Mukherjee but Rajesh Khanna excels in this humourous yet sentimental, morally strong and emotionally focused role.
He is good in Amar Prem, Khamoshi and Safar where he plays a bit emotional and in Bawarchi where he plays a light role but my favourite is Anand.
Personal opinion, might differ.
