Suryavanshi

One of Salman Khan's earlier and better films, loosely modeled on Conan, the Barbarian. The plot is solid, Amrita is scary and glamorous in turns, and Salman Khan really impresses. Was Prince Amar Singh played by Arbaaz Khan? The name is not credited. The palace ruins are sinister and the whole atmosphere of the film changes drastically as it progresses... from jokes and pranks and flirtations to curses, vicious ghosts, scary ruins and tragic palace intrigues.

I had watched this film 20 years ago.. I had this film on VHS then. I have this film on DVD now, and I am watching it today on a TV re-run. The sheer entertainment factor of the film persists. Go for it.

May be people during 1992 were not used to watch this kind of movies. But guys, this is really one of the best movie i have ever seen. What i liked most was the script of the movie and obviously the role of Amrita Singh, she was amazing in the film. Sheeba looked very cute in the movie and obviously Salman Khan - no words for his great acting. I have seen this movie 5 times. It always look great. If people have not seen this movie yet, I will recommend them to see it. Horror, Action, Romance, Good script, Music - everything is in the film. One of the great horror films. Even today you can enjoy the story. Enjoy and have a great fun watching this movie.

A good horror film for the early 90's.

Me and my brother used to be terrified of Amrita Singh in this movie.

I believe the film is very underrated.

It was very different and unique for its time. It's not classified as a horror film but as a romantic thriller. However, I still found it scary as a kid.

This is definitely one of Salman's better films during that era, although it was a flop.

If you like supernatural mysteries, You will love this film. But keep in mind that it was made in 1992.

The reason it was a flop is because bollywood film watchers weren't used to something like this.

The film has everything; comedy, action, suspense, horror, mystery, fantasy and off course, singing and dancing (this is bollywood after all)

The wicked princess Suryalekha (Amrita Singh) falls in love with the one man who is able to defeat her champions. This man, Suryavanshi Vikram Singh (Salman Khan) deceives her, then leaves her in disgrace. Incensed, she kills herself and her ghostly self torments the area as she waits for Suryavanshi to be reborn and return to her.

Hundreds of years later, an archaeologist uncovers part of Suryalekha's palace. His team, including his daughter Sonia (Sheeba) and son-in-law Vicky (Salman Khan), visit the palace grounds. Suryalekha's spirit is convinced that Vicky is Suryavanshi reincarnated and calls to him. It is left to Sonia to overcome the evil with her love and protect her husband.

This is, at times, a silly movie, and sometimes overly dramatic. That said, it's still an enjoyable tale, full of action, romance, the supernatural, and music. There is much more to the plot that can be explained in a brief synopsis, and the romance was a good story. Singh was fantastic as the beautiful and evil Suryalekha, and Sheeba's portrayal of the opposing pure and lovely Sonia was equally good. Both of Khan's characters were less than three-dimensional, but still appealing. The most unfortunate aspect of the entire movie was the light brown hair/beard of Suryavanshi, which looked simply goofy on Khan. The music and choreography were good, as were the costumes for these numbers. Overall, while bordering on the ridiculous in parts, it was an entertaining movie and a good example of the Bollywood of the 1990s.

Many of you probably remember this 1992 flick because it was Salman Khan's first movie in which he appeared with a six pack. He had appeared in many movies before this but back then he was a skinny guy with no muscles. In this movie it showed that he had worked out and made a new image of himself which later on helped a lot in his success in Bollywood. A nice thriller movie for you all to enjoy.

The manuscript stops abruptly. The final page (bearing the revelation of how the atma may be freed of the curse) is missing. At this point, Vicky realizes that he is the Suryavanshi prince reborn.

The film ends with the couple running into the arms of their waiting parents.
