Sooryavansham (pronounced [suːɾjəʋənʃəm], transl. Solar dynasty) is a 1999 Indian Hindi-language action drama film directed by E. V. V. Satyanarayana. It stars Amitabh Bachchan in a dual role, with Soundarya, Jayasudha, Rachna Banerjee, Anupam Kher and Kader Khan. The film is a remake of the 1997 Tamil-language film Surya Vamsam, and revolves around a traditional father and his illiterate yet obedient son. Made on a budget of ₹7 crore (US$943,000), principal photography took place in and around various locations in India such as Hyderabad, Gujarat and Rajasthan, as well as Sri Lanka. S. Gopal Reddy acted as the cinematographer, while Gautham Raju edited the film. Koti composed the film score while Anu Malik composed the film's songs, with lyrics penned by Sameer. The film opened to positive reviews towards the performance of Bachchan but ended up being a box-office bomb, grossing only ₹12.65 crore (US$1.3 million). However, over the years, it has gathered cult following among the Indian diaspora, and has been telecasted frequently on the television channel Sony Max.
