Nearly 50 years on, we’re still quoting “Kitne aadmi the?”, laughing at Jai and Veeru, cheering Basanti, moved by Radha’s stillness - and yup, still terrified of Gabbar. Luckily for us in Sydney, we get to relive it the way it was meant to be seen - on the big screen, in a shiny new touched-up version, thanks to the Indian Film Festival of Sydney. Because Sholay lives on as a memory, a mood, and a legend - still crackling with energy every time you watch it. |
