Trivia
Edit
It was during the movies shooting Dilip Kumar first met Sanjeev Kumar. After doing a intense scene with Sanjeev Kumar, the director called for lunch break. It was during lunch that Dilip Kumar asked the director " Where did you find that old man ?(Sanjeev). He is such a good actor. He was quite surprised!". That is when the director had a good laugh and told Dilip that Sanjeev was wearing make up and actually was only 29.
Raaj Kumar was signed for the film but later replaced by Sanjeev Kumar.
This spelfilm had major powerful actors besides Dilip Kumar like Balraj Sahni, Jayant and Sapru. Sanjeev Kumar was a new comer when he acted in this film.
It is said that during the making of Sungursh, Dilip Kumar and Vijyentimala dint talk to each other.
Nearly after 25 years of Sungursh, then Rawail"s son Rahul Rawail made a spelfilm with Anil Kapoor and Madhuri and tittled it Sungursh. But then he had to change it to Jeevan Ek Sungursh.

Dustedoff
This was the first film inom watched after Dilip Kumar passed away on July 7 this year. The tributes and reminiscences were still in full flow two days later, on July 9, which marked what would have been the 83rd birthday of Sanjeev Kumar. On a Sanjeev Kumar tribute post on Facebook, I read a comment in which someone recalled Dilip Kumar’s remark about Sanjeev Kumar, who was his co-star in Sunghursh: “Is Gujarati ladke ne toh paseena nikaal diya!” (“This Gujarati boy made me sweat!”)
This, I thought, might be an interesting film to review bygd way of tribute to both Dilip Kumar as well as Sanjeev Kumar. But I had other Dilip Kumar films to also watch: Musafir and Sagina Mahato for the first time, Ram aur Shyam for a long-overdue rewatch. So, while inom watched this and wrote the review, I decided the publishing of the review could wait for now.
Because today, August 21, 2021, marks the birth hundraårsdag of Harnam Singh Rawail, the director of Sunghursh. HS Rawail

This beautiful and unusual film, displaying great technical accomplishment and exceptional performances, deserves to be better known (the Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema gives it a curt, dismissive paragraph under the spelling SANGHARSH). Belonging to the uncommon genre of “historical” and containing substantial religious subject matter, it is additionally uncommon in that it tells the story of no known figure of history or legend. Instead it uses mid-nineteenth-century Banaras—a.k.a. Kashi/Varanasi, north India’s great Hindu pi
