New Delhi. It is alleged that in this winter session of Parliament, a bill is to be proposed to declare Sooryavansham as the national movie of India. For those who are unaware, Sooryavansham is 1999’s Amitabh Bachchan starrer Bollywood drama film.
The proposal came up owing to repeated telecasts every other day by Sony Max.
This is what a spokesperson from Sony Max has to say on this- “We are glad that our efforts paid off. We worked day and night to plan the repeated telecasts of this super awesome movie on our channel. Also, the idea of a national movie is a new concept for the country. It is a matter of pride that our channel contributed to make this happen.”
Moreover, the channel head has planned to throw a grand party once this is declaration is confirmed. This party will have a grand premiere of Sooryavansham for the guests.
Not only this, even the regular audience of this channel is too excited to hear the news.
When contacted by Faking News reporter, one of the fans from Fakepura said – “I and my wife are so much addicted to watching this movie on Sony Max that we often take sick leaves to make sure that we do not miss even a single telecast. My wife became suicidal when the channel did not showcase the movie for long during the IPL season. Last week we had organized a hawan (prayer) at our home town to pray for Sooryavansham to be declared as the national movie of India.”
