    Here's Why Set Max Repeatedly Telecasts Amitabh Bachchan's Sooryavansham

    Sooryavansham is one of the most watched Indian movies of all time. Not because it is especially great or was commercially successful upon its release, but because it magically appears on television EVERY FREAKING DAY on Set Max channel.

    The 1999 movie, which stars Amitabh Bachchan in a double role, has become a cultural reference due to the frequency with which the channel telecasts the movie. And by cultural reference we mean memes like this:

    Well, does this means we have to watch the movie for another 83 years?!
