TheSooryavansham family head - Thakur Bhanu Pratap Singh is the respected sarpanch of the village of Bharatpur. Bhanupratap has done yeoman's service not only for the people of Bharatpur but also for those of eighteen neighboring villages. He lives in a mansion with his wife Sharda and his three sons Karan, Varun, and Heera. Heera, the youngest one, lives like a servant because of his illiteracy. Hated by Bhanupratap, Heera is prohibited from being involved in familial matters and only performs menial activities. Despite being treated terribly, Heera loves his father unconditionally. Heera is only loved by his mother Sharda and Heera's close friend Dharmendra (Mindra), a servant in the house.
Days before the wedding of Bhanupratap's daughter, the groom visits the house with his sister Radha. Believing Heera to be a simple servant, Radha makes him do various chores. On the day of the wedding, Radha is shocked to learn the truth from her father. Curious, she makes Mindra tell her about Heera's past.
During his childhood, Heera constantly failed at school. Enamored, he used to go there only to see Gauri, a girl whom Bhanupratap adopted after her parents' death. One day, a teacher thrashed Gauri, causing Heera to discontinue his academic studies. Thinking that Heera's company would hamper Gauri's studies, Bhanupratap sent her to a boarding school in the city. When Heera and Gauri came of age, Bhanupratap planned their marriage. After learning of this, Gauri attempted suicide and Heera rescued her. Gauri then admitted she would rather die than marry an illiterate man like him. To save Gauri from blame, Heera took the responsibility of saying no to the marriage. Bhanupratap, misunderstanding the situation, thought Heera only had lust for Gauri. This made him hate Heera even more. Later, Gauri married a rich man. Moved by Heera's story, Radha proposes to him, and he accepts.
Deshraj Thakur, another zamindar in Bharatpur, schemes to devastate Bhanupratap and his family by making Radha his daughter-in-law. If Radha is married to Deshraj's son Arjun, Radha's lawyer father will do whatever Deshraj wants. In this way, he will be able to get ahead of Bhanupratap. Radha's mother approves of the alliance and asks Bhanupratap to make Heera leave Radha. Bhanupratap gives two choices to Heera: he can either be with Radha or gain his father's respect again. Mindra convinces Heera to accept Radha as his wife, saying only a fortunate few find true love like him. On the day of Radha's marriage to Arjun, Heera takes Radha away with him and marries her. This enrages Bhanupratap, who disowns Heera.
Before working in Hindi language films, Soundarya had acted in a total of 65 South Indian films. Her brother Amarnath, who managed her career, stated that she always performed decorous roles and same would be the case in Bollywood.[6] Soundarya said that she was excited when a role in the film was offered to her and to have got an opportunity to co-star with Amitabh Bachchan. Having studied Sanskrit, the actress added, she was quite comfortable with Hindi, and could read and write it. She also asked the viewers to be optimistic about the film, although the actress was a bit dubious about her role.[7]
Harischandra Prasad (Venkatesh), the arbitrator and most respected person in a village, sees to it that all the people live happily. He has a strong enmity to Singaraju Lingaraju (Anand Raj) and vice versa. He is the only opponent to him in the village. Harischandra has a big family with his wife Vasundhara (Radhika), three sons Ravi Prasad (Vinod), Divakar Prasad (Maharshi Raghava) and Bhanu Prasad (Venkatesh), a daughter Shanti, two daughters-in-law, and two granddaughters. Harischandra dislikes his third son Bhanu because of him being illiterate, but Bhanu is a devoted and benevolent son to his father. Bhanu has to do menial household work and has virtually no relationships with his family, with the exception of his mother.
Swapna (Meena) arrives for her brother's wedding to Bhanu's sister. In the beginning, she thinks Bhanu is a servant and looks down on him. After some time, she knows the fact and asks Bhanu's friend Nukaraju (Sudhakar) what actually happened. Then he reveals Bhanu's past. Bhanu's childhood love Madhavi (Sanghavi) turns him down and attempts to commit suicide to escape from being married to him, as she did not want to unite with an illiterate man. To prevent any misunderstandings, Bhanu declared that he was not interested in Madhavi and earned his father's wrath. After listening to Bhanu's story, Swapna falls in love with him. Even though Bhanu isn't interested initially, eventually he accepts her love.
Meanwhile, Singaraju makes a plan to have Swapna marry his son. Bhanu breaks his plan, marries Swapna, and enrages both of their parents. They start living in the village outskirts. An event occurs in which Madhavi insults them, so Bhanu decides to grow up and prove himself. Swapna teaches him reading, writing, and some arithmetic, while she pursues her own, I.A.S. studies. In due of time with hard work, Bhanu Prasad gradually becomes one of the biggest businessmen in town and Swapna the District Collector. They have a fine young son, Junior Harischandra Prasad (Master Anand Vardhan). At one point, Madhavi requests Bhanu to allow her husband to work in his factory, as his business is under loss.
Harischandra incidentally comes across his grandson, develops a secret friendly relation with him. Knowing this, Bhanu and Swapna also feel very happy. One day, Bhanu gives his son some canned Payasam (rice pudding) to be offered to his father. Eventually, Singaraju mixes up poison in it. Vasundhara learns of the secret meeting of Harischandra with his grandson and urges him to accept Bhanu back into their family. She praises Bhanu to be as valuable as a diamond. At the same time, Surya as Swathi's father has a serious malady apparently because of consuming the "Payasam" to Harischandra, he is hospitalized and Bhanu is suspected of making an attempt on his father's life.
At the hospital, when Singaraju and his men badly beat Bhanu, Harischandra arrives to his son's rescue. It is then when Harischandra declares that Singaraju had poisoned the "Payasam". A combat ensues between Harischandra and Singaraju until the latter confesses his guilt. Finally, Harischandra accepts Bhanu as his son, and the entire family is happily united.[2]

I bet you all have heard about Sooryavansham. Yes, I am talking about the film that has an inseparable bond with Set Max. The only two things that air on this TV channel are IPL and Sooryavansham. While the film was a critical and commercial failure, it became a massive hit when it aired on television a few months later. So much so that Set Max has dedicated time slots to this Amitabh Bachchan film for almost about 18 years now.
6. One is a renowned rich man and the other one is his son (Hira) who is being treated as the servant. Double role because one Amitabh Bachchan is not enough to convince you why the film is so boring.
Nearly 20 years after release, the box office disaster that made less than Rs7 crore in total theatrical earnings, is topping television ratings on Sony Max that may air it as frequently as once a month. But it is not the only one. Senior executives from television channels name flops like dark fantasy action film Jaani Dushman- Ek Anokhi Kahani (Rs10 crore), Tarzan The Wonder Car (Rs6 crore), romantic comedy drama Ramaiya Vastavaiya (Rs26 crore), Akshay Kumar comedy Entertainment (Rs64 crore) and romantic drama Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana (Rs15 crore) as examples of films that have emerged as blockbusters on television despite not setting the cash registers ringing on theatrical release.
The first reason for this is the distinct nature of the Indian television viewing world. Many, if not most Hindi films made today are sharp and well-shot, the content is modern, the issues contemporary and the depiction of intimacy between characters matches global standards. 93% of the country, on the other hand, exists in a one-television household reality.
Television, Vyas added, is a representation of the average Indian, the mass consumer who enjoys stereotypical scenes, situations and songs and comes back to them whenever he can. A family entertainer like Sooryavansham will always work on television because it not just allows for emotional peaks and curves every couple of minutes but can be watched in segments or its entirety with at least one other member of the family multiple times without discomfort.
