    Uttam kumar at his best

    This is what movies you consider as timeless classics. The performance of uttum kumar makes this movie as such a great movie.

    A mahanayak Flim!! - -

    Very heart touching movie. Best acting of Uttam Kumar and Dadamuni. Many occasion eyes get wet. Melodious songs of Kishore Kumar.

    (Symbol of Bengali movie).

    MASTERPIECE!

    quite watchable ...

    There are certain films that you enjoy watching because of its rootedness, fine performances, social commentary, lovely songs and a light-hearted treatment while addressing issues of national concern. Inter-community marriages, the urgency of providing medical care in the villages, the need to adapt to changing social values have been woven into the storyline of ANAND ASHRAM. The brilliance of Ashok Kumar as the patriarch, the chemistry of Uttam Kumar and Sharmila Tagore, the able support by the supporting cast like Utpal Dutt, Moushumi Chatterjee, Rakesh Roshan and a memorable role for Asit Sen as a caretaker instrumental in raising the children of the orthodox family of Ashok Kumar are the highlights of this watchable film. The film was directed by Shakti Samanta. Rating: 3.7 out of 5
