Suryavanshi

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.

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.

I watched this movie when I was a kid n really scared n even now after 25 years it still have the power to scare you n I think it was the best n by far the excellent movie of 90s n don't know why rated only 4.5 n about acting Amrita Singh was unbelievable in her role n Salman Khan was brilliant to watch as Suryavanshi n every character of this masterpiece like Kadar Khan Sahab , Shakti kapoor Sahab n lead Actress Sheeba played her part superbly n it was a complete package of thrill, suspense, mystery n full of horror n a must watch movie so 10/10 from me for this amazing movie.

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.

I had some wonderful moments and a story attached to this film. I was in 3rd standard and the year was 2004. My mother bought two films of Salman Khan as a birthday gift. The other was Sanam Bewafaa and the second VCD was this film called Suryavanshi. We watched it together, brother, aunt, granny and I had a restless night after watching it. The whole night I couldn't sleep because of the haunted archaeology site "Sangramghad", the witch "Suryalekha" and that sketch of "Blue Eye" which bites "Vick" at the start of the film.

Now, I had watched this film more than 8 times and each time I discover a new layer to think about it. 2 hours and 41 minutes are nostalgic, music, background score, story, locations and dialogues everything reconnects me to my childhood days

When the first time I searched about the fate of this film at the box office, I was disappointed and these ratings on IMDB makes me more frustrated. Honestly, this is the best film of Indian cinema in the genre of "Fantasy", "Adventure" and "Horror" particularly producing in those times was really an effort. I had watched all kind of cinema British, American, Pakistani and Turkish but this film has a kind of narrative style of bedtime horror stories which we used to listen as kids from our grandparents.

Salman Khan is the main attraction of this film. He nailed both of his characters. Suryavanshi Vikram Singh was good to experiment at the earliest phase of his carrier. The character became laughable among so-called critics but it was spectacular to me being a kid. He was our own Asian "Conan" or "Hercules" Vicky was a contrast from S.Vikram Singh. A modern man of 1990s who vowed to live his life exploring adventures. Khan mastered both the characters. Salman Khan never played negative shade characters but he was under the skin of such character for a brief sequence when he was under the spell of Surylekha "Amrita Singh" to kill Sonia "Sheeba" and he nailed it. I am desperately waiting to see him in a full-fledged negative character. Amrita Singh as Suryalekha scared the hell out of me when I was a kid but right now she's a gorgeous witch and she has nothing to do than a beautiful portrait with heavy jewelry. Sheeba as Sonia was passable but she got an attractive voice, a layer of innocence and erotica. Kader Khan as Baba was phenomenal. His portrayal makes me very sad about normal old age people. The severity of life implicated on them. Ajit Vaichani, Saeed Jaffery, and Abhinav Chautervedi are loveable in their respective characters. Puneet Isaar entertained a lot as Mahesh in his short role. Tom Alter has a great cameo.

Rakesh Kumar did a commendable job as a director to explore this genre of fantasy and horror. He hinted about a sequel in the film but the tag of a flop at the box office I think altered the sequel. I would love to see the next adventure of "Vicky" to pass that deadliest lake.

Music of Anand Millind was memorable and melodious. "Goodbye Namaste Salam" and "Main Nahi Kehta" are my favorites.

I am not satisfied with the recent choices of Salman Khan. I want him to make memorable films like that again. I want him to explore this genre of fantasy and horror which was never presented truly in the Indian cinema. This film is a true reflection of the horror bedtime stories we listened from our grandparents.

Watched this film if you wanted to revisit the 1990's and Dynasty of Suryavanshi. Watch it for Salman Khan and a wonderful narrative style.

10/10
