‘Sholay’ special screening takes fans on a nostalgic journey

MUMBAI: From singing 'Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Chodenge' to cheering at every iconic dialogue and each actor's entry, fans relived the magic of "Sholay" during a special screening that served as a reminder of why this Hindi cult classic has stood the test of time for nearly 50 years.

Organised by the not-for-profit organisation Film Heritage Foundation (FHF), the special, one-time-only screening of the vintage 70 mm cinemascope print of the 1975 iconic blockbuster witnessed many ardent fans queuing up to watch the 6:00 PM show at Colaba’s Regal Cinema.

"Sholay," written by Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, better known as Salim-Javed during their heyday, and directed by Ramesh Sippy, remains one of the most celebrated films in Bollywood history.
