Celebrating 50 years of India's most iconic film, Sippy Films presents Sholay's original uncut version restored in 4k and Dolby 5.1 by Film Heritage Foundation. Voted the greatest Indian film ever made in a 2002 British Film Institute poll and honored as "Film of the Millenium" by BBC India in 1999, the blockbuster film Sholay directed by Ramesh Sippy premiered at the Minerva cinema hall in Mumbai in 1975 where it ran for five years without a break. Scripted by the famed writer duo Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar (billed as Salim-Javed), the film described as a curry western, is a landmark of Indian cinema that is a mosaic of all genres: an action-thriller, revenge drama, a comedy and a tragedy set to music, song and dance composed by the iconic music composer R.D. Burman. Inspired by films like Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time in the West (1968), Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (1954) and John Sturges' film The Magnificent Seven (1960), India's first 70mm film and the first Hindi film to use stereophonic sound featured an ensemble cast that included major stars Sanjeev Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Jaya Bhaduri and Amjad Khan in an unforgettable performance as the villainous Gabbar Singh.
