Nearly 2 decades after its release, the romantic drama flick which made less than Rs 7 crore in its theatrical revenue continues to top the television ratings on Sony Max. And the channel keeps airing it repeatedly at least once a month. Over the years the film has achieved cult status along with collecting hilarious memes to its name. But there is also a section of the audience who are now disenchanted with the repeated telecasts of the film.
The anger reached such an extent that a person wrote a letter to the channel to narrate his ordeal. Requesting the channel to stop telecasting the film, the person said that everyone in his family is well aware of Heera Thakur (Amitabh Bachchan’s character) and his family problems. The person asked several questions to the channel and asked how many times Sooryavansham has been telecasted so far and how many times it will be continued in future. Emphasizing that this has added to his mental stress, the person also asked if the channel was going to take responsibility for his and his family’s mental health issues. Take a look at the letter below:
