Sooryavansham – Blockbuster Hindi Film | Amitabh Bachchan, Soundarya | Bollywood Movie

 

Sooryavansham is regarded as one of the best family dramas that described a father-son relationship. From direction to acting, everything received applause from the audience. Lead pair Amitabh Bachchan and late Soundarya garnered immense praise for their on-screen chemistry. Little did viewers know that Soundarya couldn’t speak Hindi and hence Rekha stepped in and dubbed for her.

Sooryavansham was a box office failure. According to many, some comic scenes were unnecessary additions. Despite the failure, Soundarya’s acting was loved by many. Sooryavansham remains Soundarya’s first and only Hindi film. She essayed Radha Singh’s character and performed brilliantly.

Apart from Sooryavansham, she worked in a lot of popular films like Raja, Thavasi, Dweepa, Apthamitra and others. She was the recipient of the Filmfare Award South for these projects except Thavasi. She was nominated in the best actress category for this project.

Soundarya had a fine sense of characterisation. Due to this ability, she struck a chord with the Telugu audience despite being a Kannada actress. Her charismatic acting was seen in Telugu films like Pavitra Bandham and Anthahpuram. She was the recipient of the Nandi Awards for both movies.
