The high-minded Bhattacharya crams "Anubhav" with aural clues and codifications, ponderings and pontifications, symbolisms and two sound motifs. Yes, it is an arty film but let that not scare you off. Thankfully, it is involving and pleasantly unpredictable. Anubhav portrays not just the delicacy of the marital bond but also its strength. The characters' journey towards emotional truths and maturity is also heartbreakingly endearing. When Meeta has told Amar something hurtful and he throws it back at her, she says: \"Bas yehi yaad raha?\", instantly reducing it to a minute fraction of a multi-hued relationship. Tantalisingly the director doesn't spell everything out in black and white. And this adds to the film's appeal. The re-emergence and eventual dissolution of Shashi in Meeta's life can also be read as a manifestation of her own ambivalence and the resolution of the final hurdle that stood in the way of her accepting her husband with all her heart. It is a delight to see Sanjeev Kumar so young and, well, almost matinee idol good-looking. It makes you wonder how his career would have turned out if he had maintained himself.
