Hindi Movie Review Sadiyaan - Cast & Crew

Rekha is probably among the most renowned and well-known personalities of Bollywood. With over 180 movies to her name, and a career spanning over 40 years, she is still recognized as the “Diva” of Bollywood. She is a Living Legend in true meanings, a style icon, an enigmatic beauty in its full form and the 70’s sex symbol. Rekha’s career path is full of success, turns, and controversies, but this vibrant personality has survived the test of all. Rekha was introduced to the screen in her early years, but her first lead role debut was in a Kannada film Operation Jackpot Nalli C.I.D 999 in 1969, which turned out to be a success. But she did not rest there. In the same year, she gave her first appearance in a Hindi film Anjana Safar. Although this film faced censorship problem due to a kissing scene and the release was delayed until 1979. “SawanBhadon” is considered her official debut in Bollywood. She had to learn Hindi for this film because it was not her mother tongue.”SawanBhadon” became a hit, sending Rekha’s reputation as an actor to the skies, but not completely for now. In an interview, Rekha pointed out that she was regarded as the “Ugly Duckling” of Bollywood early in her career because she was dark skinned and chubby, which was quite against the perceived beauty standards of that time. She also stated that this image of her motivated her to go through a transformation and make it big on merit. In the early 1980’s she won her first Best Actress award for the movie “Khubsoorat”. Her change in on-screen personality and role selection was widely recognized and her career prospects had begun to improve significantly. She starred with the great Bachchan for the first time in the movie “Do Anjaane”, and proved to be a big turn for Rekha. After this, the duo gave back to back hits like “Mr. Natwarlal or “MuqaddarkaSikandar”. This phase of her life is filled with controversies of her and Mr. Bachchan’s love scandal, and let’s not forget the “Silsila”, her most scandalous film, marking an end to the affair. Rekha was awarded the National Film Award for Best Actress for her leading and highly applauded performance in “UmraoJaan” in 1981. She went on to take on several different kinds of roles. From a betrayed wife in “Ek Hi Bhool” to a young single breadwinner in “JeevanDhara”, from a Lawyer in “MujheInsaafChahiye” to a supporting mother in “Vijeta”, Rekha has pleased her critics every time.

Hema Malini is perhaps the only dream girl of the Bollywood. After Vyjanthimala had left Bollywood, she took steps to reach superstardom on her elegant looks and acting prowess.

He is a Bollywood actor, donning the hero role in the movie, ‘Sadiyaan’ in 2010, his first. Though the movie had big names like Rekha, the dream-girl Hema Malini, and yesteryear bubbly superstar Rishi Kapoor, and directed by Raj Kanwar, and the story was set on the times of the partition of India and Pakistan, it failed at the Box Office. His father is the famous actor cum politician Shatrughan Sinha and his mother is Poonam Sinha. He has an identical twin brother Kush Sinha. His younger sister is actress Sonakshi Sinha. Several media reports were actually lauding the young actor for his performance in the movie, but since the movie that launched him had failed miserably both at the audience level and critics level, his father, Shatrughan Sinha, was reportedly blaming it all on his own opponents taking it out on his son. In September 2010, Luv Sinha was seen posting his picture alongside that of Robert Pattinson of the Twilight Saga fame, for comparison. The Bollywood actor was expressing his surprise and amusement over the comments from several people that he looked like the Hollywood sensation. Reportedly, in December 2013, he had been to Hong Kong and took part in a workshop on stunt-training. He has reportedly stated that the training was amazing and would surely help him a lot in his oncoming movies, one with Umesh Shukla and one more with Ekta Kapoor.

The film fell flat in the box office, and Raj Kapoor was in massive financial loss.
