New Delhi. Makers and actors work in films with their full effort. But if the audience does not like these films, they prove to be a dud at the box office. There are many films that flop in theaters but become cult classics after being shown on TV. One such film came out in the year 1999, which people still love to watch.
This movie which hit theaters in the year 1999 is none other than Amitabh Bachchan’s most watched movie ‘Sooryavansam’. The film was a family drama directed by EVV Satyanarayana. After its release, the film did not receive much response at the box office, but when the film hit TV, it became a success. Even today people of all ages love to watch Amitabh’s ‘Suryavansam’. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Kader Khan, Soundarya and Rachna Banerjee were also seen in important roles in this film.

Thus became a flop hit
When Amitabh Bachchan was working in this film, he was very old. The plot of the film was also very strong, but the film turned out to be a flop at the time of release. At that time Amitabh was 57 years old, he played the role of the father brilliantly, but he could not show his talent in the role of the 20-year-old son. His chemistry with the very beautiful Soundarya was not liked by the public and he also had no chemistry with his childhood love Rachna. Perhaps this was the reason why the film turned out to be a flop. But as soon as it came on TV, this film was liked a lot.
Let us tell you that even today people like to watch ‘Suryavansam’ released in the 90s on TV. This movie is being shown a lot on this one channel for 23 years and people are watching it a lot. Memes from this film can still be seen on social media.
