Sholay was my favorite Bollywood movie while growing up. Wait, what am I saying? - it is still my favorite Bollywood movie! While it has all the ingredients of a masala Bollywood film, it's also a technical masterpiece. I'm beyond excited to rewatch it on the big screen.

Conceived as the biggest action-adventure film ever made in India, Ramesh Sippy’s deeply influential 1975 “Curry Western” remains a towering landmark in film history. Written by the legendary screenwriting duo Salim–Javid, the film stars Sanjeev Kumar as a retired cop who — in seeking revenge against a nihilistic dacoit leader (Amjad Khan) — enlists the help of two slick, charismatic crooks whom he put behind bars (unforgettably portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra). Naturally, the criminal duo soon fall in love with two local village girls, but danger remains on the horizon. A delirious four-course meal of action, musical numbers, ultramagnetic performances from Indian cinema’s most iconic actors, and jaw-dropping wide-screen 70mm cinematography, SHOLAY is here presented in its recently completed director’s cut — the most faithful approximation of Sippy’s original ending before it was censored by the Indian Censor Board.

If folks are up for it, we can chat about the movie afterwards over a bite nearby.
