melis-rik I completed the top 250 during the last couple of weeks, which meant that I had to see a lot of Indian movies. Though I did not become a fan of Bollywood cinema, there were a few good movies among them. Udaan is a very strong movie, and Sholay is also very enjoyable.Sholay borrows a lot from established movies, mainly westerns. The family murder scene was very similar to a scene in Once Upon a Time in the West. The action is technically not as good as Hollywood (the blood looks ridiculous), but it doesn't prevent me from enjoying the movie. It contains a few classic elements (like the coin with heads on both sides), that we've seen before, so it doesn't surprise anymore.The film makers changed to movie enough to Indian values and style, such that this wasn't an unnecessary remake of the classic westerns. I thought the two main characters were very likable, there war some plot twists I didn't see coming, and there were also some funny side characters (I liked the jailer a lot).

Takethispunch In the small village of Ramgarh, the retired policeman Thakur Baldev Singh (Sanjeev Kumar) summons a pair of small-time thieves that he had once arrested. Thakur feels that the duo—Veeru (Dharmendra) and Jai (Amitabh Bachchan)—would be ideal to help him capture Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan), a dacoit wanted by the authorities for a ₹ 50,000 reward. Thakur tells them to surrender Gabbar to him, alive, for an additional ₹ 20,000 reward.The two thieves thwart the dacoits sent by Gabbar to extort the villagers. Soon afterwards, Gabbar and his goons attack Ramgarh during the festival of Holi. In a tough battle, Veeru and Jai are cornered. Thakur, although he has a gun within his reach, does not help them. Veeru and Jai fight back and the bandits flee. The two are, however, upset at Thakur's inaction, and consider leaving the village. Thakur explains that Gabbar had killed nearly all of his family members, and cut off both his arms a few years earlier, which is why he could not use the gun. He had concealed the dismemberment by always wearing a shawl.

mykkanwar Only thing that made this film The Indian Movie of The Millennium is the performance of dialogues & great acting by Amjad Khan (Gabbar Singh), the villain. Strangely, this was his first ever film (debut). Rest everything revolves around his role. No doubt the story, songs and acting by all the actors is also excellent. Despite two big actors playing as hero, the villain completely dominates the story. The story of the movie is simple and the script is very strong. Amjad Khan,s successive movies were also good but the classic role in Sholay became his identity. Culture, locations and background music are fully justified.

shubham mittal I don't know from where to start. Sholay is a perfect blending of all spices and makes it a delicious curry which you want to have again and again. It has Emotion , Drama , Romance , Action, and what not , you name it and this movie has it. Though a little lengthy, but one won't mind as it never ceases to entertain at any point of time. I don't reckon a single movie where every character becomes legend irrespective of their screen presence.This movie works on concept of 3E's which is Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment and makes it an epic. I am short of adjectives for this movie. Mesmerising at its best, flawless , perfect etc. etc.If you haven't watched it , do yourself a favor and add it your bucket list. I am sure you will regret it for not having it watched earlier.
