Starring Shashi Kapoor and Zeenat Aman, the film offered a thought-provoking exploration of physical versus spiritual love, and the deeper truths of existence. Set in a rural village, the story follows Roopa, the daughter of the village priest, who is disfigured by severe burns on the right side of her face and neck from a pot of boiling oil.

सत्यम शिवम सुंदरम (1978) के निर्माता और निर्देशक राज कपूर थे। इस फ़िल्म के लेखक जैनेंद्र जैन थे। यह रोमांटिक ड्रामा फ़िल्म सौंदर्य और बदसूरती की परिभाषाओं, इससे जुड़े सामाजिक मूल्यों और स्त्रियों के प्रति समाज के नज़रिये पर टिप्पणी करती है। शशि कपूर और ज़ीनत अमान की मुख्य भूमिकाओं से सजी सत्यम शिवम सुन्दरम भौतिक प्रेम और आध्यात्मिक प्रेम के बीच मौजूद अंतर को अपना विषय बनाती है और इंसानी सत्ता के पीछे छिपे असल सत्य पर बात करती है। फ़िल्म की कहानी गाँव के पुजारी की बेटी रूपा (ज़ीनत अमान) के साथ आगे बढ़ती है, जिसके चेहरे के दाहिने हिस्से पर गरम तेल गिरने से गंभीर जलने के निशान पड़ गए हैं। वह अपनी सूरत के इस कुरूप भाग को छिपाने के लिए हमेशा अपने चेहरे के दाहिने हिस्से को साड़ी के आँचल से ढककर रखती है। फ़िल्म की कहानी इस दर्शन पर बात करती है कि सच्चा सौंदर्य केवल शारीरिक नहीं होता बल्कि आध्यात्मिक साक्षात्कार होने पर दिव्यता के रूप में प्रकट होता है। फ़िल्म वर्ष 1978 में होली के त्योहार के नज़दीक रिलीज़ हुई और कोलकाता के मेट्रो सिनेमा में पूरे 29 सप्ताह तक चली। पश्चिम बंगाल में इसे ब्लॉकबस्टर घोषित किया गया और पूरे देश में यह व्यावसायिक रूप से कामयाब रही। हालाँकि फ़िल्म की संवेदनशील और...
