Its a typical night out with lots of friends, minus the booze, plus a healthy dose of laughter and fun and frolic....(i should mention here that this used to happen way back...almost seems ages back. Also the venue didn't matter much as the option were ). Someone is playing the mood setting, soothing melodies by Kishor Kumar......out of nowhere u hear soft whistle blowing in the background...and it is met with a loud groan from the rest. The "street DJ" has suddenly altered the mood by playing "SHOLAY" for the umpteenth time......

All other activities please take a back seat!!! After all its "Sholay" time.....Pulsating, melodramatic, humorous, amazingly entertaining and at times tragic, every glorifying adjective that comes to your mind can be attributed to this film. Every scene and characters come to life on screen and that is what watching this movies every time makes a memorable experience.

"Paise jo tum chaho....kaam jo mein chahoo...."

You have got to admit that this is dialogue delivery at its very best...Kudos to Sanjeev Kumar!!!

"Tumhara naam kya hai, Basanti"

Every time I watch this scene i cant help but smile....this wisecrack must be one of the best to have come through....

The dialogues are so legendary that I'll need the entire script to quote here...but its neither about the script nor about the dialogue. Its about the feeling that this movie generates that never ceases to amaze you. You had an entire generation of Jais and Virus and many more after that. No pair of stars has been able to create such kind of a jodi...so much so when Govinda and Sanjay Dutt starred in the forgettable Jodi No. 1, their characters were named Jai and Viru.

Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge!!!!! Just want to sign of with this........
