Dharmendera and Amitabh Bachchan are petty criminals hired to bring down notorious dacoit (bandit) Gabbar Singh. One of
the highest earning Indian films ever made (it ran continuously in one Mumbai cinema for over five years), Sholay was the first Indian film with stereo sound, spawned the “curry western” genre with it’s own local twist on spaghetti westerns, and helped legitimise the art of screenwriting in Bollywood.
