While watching Anand a few days back, I was wondering how different it would have been if it was not made by Late Hrishikesh Mukherjee.

Whereas Hrishiji crafted a masterpiece. Lets see how different it would have been, If it was made by few other directors.

If Anand was made by David Lynch

1. Anand would have been suffering from AIDS rather than cancer.
2. Prakash's wife and Anand would have been past lovers instead of brothers and sisters.
3. A gay relationship would have developed between Anand and Bhaskar towards the latter part of movie.
4. Last scene would have been a smooch between Bhaskar and Renu instead of Anand speaking on tape.

If Anand was made by Manoj Shyamalan

1. Anand would not have been ill but possessed by evil spirits
2. Dr. Bhaskar would have been dead but only visible to Anand
3. Renu would also have been dead but only visible to Anand
4. All characters would have been dead but only visible to Anand

If Anand was made by Quentin Tarantino

1. Half an hour scene of Anand's operation would have been shown, where each stitch and how doctors cut different body parts is shown clearly
2. Anand's death would have been by exploding of a vein, (preferably of head or throat) and it would have been shown very clearly how Anand's head breaks in two pieces after the vien explodes.

If Anand was made by Karan Johar

1. All the characters of movie would have been NRIs
2. Anand's role would have been played by Shahrukh Khan
3. The gal whom Bhaskar loves would actually have been the one who ditched Anand earlier.
4. Just before the climax, at least half an hour scene of weding between Dr. Bhaskar and Renu would have been shown.

If Anand was made by Madhur Bhandarkar.

1. In Dr. Bhaskar's hospital all doctors would have been shown as corrupt except Bhaskar and Prakash.
2. Doctors would have wanted to sell Anand's body part and make money out of it. (which Anand would have protested)
3. In the end Bhaskar would have died and Anand survived. (Anand's fate would not have been shown)

If Anand was made by Vikram Bhatt.

1. Anand would have been a gangster in his past.
2. Anand's girlfriend would have ditched him after knowing that he is a gangster.
3. There would have been ten kissing scenes in the movie
4. After coming in contact with Bhaskar Anand realises that his ex girlfriend is married to Dr. Bhaskar.
5. Hence Anand commits suicide.
