October 13, 2006
Anuraag (1972)

Cast: Ashok Kumar, Nutan, Vinod Mehra, Moushami Chatterjee and master Satyajeet

Anuraag is a story of a blind girl, played by Moushami Chatterjee, and a young boy Satyajeet who suffers from cancer. Satyajeet is on his death bed, and tells his grandfather (Ashok Kumar) that he would like to see the festival of lights before he dies.

The dying child's last wish is carried out a month before the festival starts.

The entire neighbourhood comes together to celebrate a Diwali, specially created for Satyajeet, in one of the film's most touching scenes.
