Sooraj Mukhi

(1985)

The storyline is entirely based on the natural meditation of the flower Sooraj-Mukhi (Sunflower) upon the Sun; from east to west, from morning to evening.

Sooraj-Mukhi; the Sunflower, more closely represents human aspirations, with its face always looking towards the Sun. Its follow of the Sun's progress from morning to evening, shows that human aspirations must eventually end, symbolized by night.

We all have unfulfilled desires to which we seek satiation in the sunset, suggesting that our longings may be fulfilled in the next coming morning. And so, life goes...

The main characters of this movie are the projections of the philosophy explained above.
Kumar (Parikshat Sahani), after the death of his wife Godawari (Sangeeta Naik) is leading almost a secluded life. But a little ray a of life is his 4 year's daughter Poonam.
On the other hand Sandhya (Rehana Sultan), who after a broken relationship, lives under the roof of fatherly affection of Mr. Bhaskar.
Very soon Poonam, the loving baby, becomes the central character of co-relation and emotional affection between Mr. Bhaskar, Kumar and Sandhya.
But the main drama begins when grown-up Poonam (Sangeeta Naik) marries with Kunal. Now all feels that they all are getting the divided love or affection from Poonam as father, aunty or as husband. A sense of confusion also develops in Kunal for Kumar and Sandhya. And lastly... evening comes as the death of Kumar.
