Sholay: Directed by Ramesh Sippy, Sholay gave us some of the most memorable and iconic characters like Jai (Amitabh Bachchan), Veeru (Dharmendra), Basanti (Hema Malini), and Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan). The story of the film revolves around two criminals, Veeru and Jai, who are hired by a retired police officer (Sanjeev Kumar) to protect and capture the ruthless bandit Gabbar Singh. The iconic dialogues of the film like ‘Kitne aadmi the?’ and ‘Yeh haath humko de de Thakur’ are still etched in people’s hearts. With a perfect blend of drama, romance, humour, and action, Sholay set a new standard of storytelling in Indian cinema.
