'''''Anuraag''''' is a 1972 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[drama film]], directed by [[Shakti Samanta]]. The film stars [[Moushumi Chatterjee]] and [[Vinod Mehra]] in lead roles. The Shakti Samanta fixture [[Rajesh Khanna]], having earlier made ''[[Aradhana (1969 film)|Aradhana]]'' (1969) and ''[[Kati Patang]]'' with Samanta, makes a special appearance. The music is by [[S. D. Burman]]. Initially, Shakti Samanta was thinking whether to make this film or not as he was not sure if the distributors would buy a film with such a story line and had shared the idea with Rajesh Khanna, who encouraged Samanta and volunteered to make an extended appearance for the film, and also distributed the film under the banner "Shakti-Raj" (indicating Shakti Samanta and Rajesh Khanna).<ref>http://www.glamsham.com/movies/news/15/jan/news-how-rajesh-khanna-encouraged-shakti-samanta-to-make-anuraag.asp</ref>

The film became a semi-hit, while doing extremely well in big cities.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=178&catName=MTk3Mg== |title=Box Office 1972|work=Box Office India|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020102113/http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=178&catName=MTk3Mg== |date=20 October 2013 |archive-date=20 October 2013}}</ref> and won the [[Filmfare Best Movie Award]] for the year. It was later remade into the Telugu film "Anuraagaalu" (1975) with [[Sridevi]] in her first leading role. A. Bhimsingh also remade it in Malayalam as ''[[Raagam]]'' (1975). It was also remade in Tamil as ''[[Neela Malargal]]'' (1979), and in Kannada as ''[[Chiranjeevi]]'', with Manjula and Srinath.

A blind sculptor, Shivani ([[Moushumi Chatterjee]]) stays in an ashram and makes friends with a small boy (Satyajit), who is suffering from cancer. She falls in love with Rajesh ([[Vinod Mehra]]). Rajesh asks his parents to permit him to marry her, to which his mother agrees, but his father refuses under her present condition. Then, an eye specialist reveals that an eye replacement would cure her.
