diamonds are forever
released on 15th august 1975 ,29th anniversery of indian independence,SHOLAy ran in theatres for over five years,and altered the course of indian cinema.even today it remains box office gold standard:a reference point for both the Indian film going audience and the film industry.because SHOLAY is not merely a film,it is the ultimate classic:it is myth.the characters Jai,Veeru,Gabbar,Thakur,Smbha,Radha,Vasathi,Jailor,Soorma bhopali-are the stuff of folklore.even the animal,Dhanno,the mare,is immortal.
sholay grossed 35 crores in its first run,an unimagiable amount at that time.in its rerun in 80s it doubled its previous distributer price.its tickets were priceless,where other hit films tickets were blacked for 15-20 rs,it crossed 100rupees mark quite easily to an willing audience who were ready to pay the sum.
the story is about a police inspector whose family gets masacred by a dacoit,the dreaded GABBAR.he hires two crooks JAI ,VEERu to catch GABBAR alive for him.like VEERU tells in one of the popular dialogues of the film,the story contains emotion,comedy,drama,tragedy all in all.probably world cinema's only character SAMBHA ,is the only character to be immortalised by only one line"poorey pachas hazar".
like diamonds SHOLAY is forever.
WOW
I had no idea this movie would have been so entertaining. It's drama,romance,adventure,action,comedy and a musical all in one. The cinematography is out of this world. Truly a "Once Upon A Time In Bombay". I recommend this film to any open minded person willing to peer into a culture other than thier own.
