Sholay: The final cut

A full house-fans reciting legendary dialogues and others watching this iconic film for the very first time 50 years after its release.

And somehow it still hit the same -the story, the acting, the character, we were all hooked. Jai, Veeru, Thakur and of course Gabbar Singh are going to stay with us for the next 50 years too.

What an audience: shawls, chai, mithai, and that shared excitement.
