A special mention ought to be made of the train sequence, the climax scene where Amitabh Bachchan blows the bridge with the last bullet and when the goons chase Basanti, who is on her tonga… With 3D, every pivotal character stands out in the film. In fact, the dialogues - memorable all - reverberate even after almost four decades. 'Yeh haath nahin, phaansi ka phanda hain, Gabbar' 'Jao, jaake kehdo Gabbar se, Ramgarh-walo ne paagal kutton ke saamne roti daalna bandh kar diya hain' 'Yeh dushmani bahut mehengi padegi Thakur, bahut mehengi' Especially the evergreen, iconic dialogues delivered by Gabbar and Thakur.
Having grown up on SHOLAY and the masala films of yore, the 3D version of the film helps you relive the moments associated with it. just everything associated with the film. Furthermore, the film set new records across the country, immortalizing the characters, the songs and the dialogue. Gradually, a few weeks later, SHOLAY attracted audiences in hordes and ran for more than five years non-stop at Mumbai's Minerva theatre, besides celebrating Golden Jubilee and Silver Jubilee in several cities and towns then. Not many are aware that SHOLAY did not take off the way it should, when it first released in theatres. The icing on the cake are the well-defined characters - Thakur, Jai, Veeru, Basanti, Radha and of course, Gabbar. Two, the invigorating and revitalizing drama that leaves you awestruck, even though you may have lost count of the number of times you've watched this incredible entertainer. The 3D version of this all-time classic should work for two reasons: One, the simplicity on display, when one compares it with the recent releases that are infested with VFX. And for those who haven't watched the original version, all I'd say is, watch it pronto, for you cannot replicate a film like SHOLAY. Watching the film in 3D is truly an experience. also, one of the most discussed and analyzed movies ever, SHOLAY, directed by one of the finest storytellers of India, now unveils in a new avatar - 3D.
What can one convey or enlighten about a film that has the word 'Classic' written all over it? One of the most appreciated and admired movies.
