Leave your thoughts about Sholay.
| BBC.comDharmesh RajputIt's a movie that you can watch again and again, and hardcore Bollywood fans do. But even if you just watch Sholay once, you won't be disappointed. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonThe performances are impressive, especially that of Khan, who steals every scene he is in from his more famous co-stars. |
| Hindustan TimesSarit RayOver the years, Sholay has become more than just a movie. It's been celebrated, analysed, formed the subject of dissertations in film and cultural studies. |
| FilmfareRachit GuptaIt is the greatest story ever told in Indian cinema. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperThough it may seem uneven... parts of it are excellent. |

| User ReviewMandeep SOne of the best entertainer produced by Indian Cinema. Only after watching this flick, one understands that why Gabbar is immortal. |
| User ReviewZahid MSholay is the best movie made in the Indian Cinema, I am not aware of a single movie that has ruled peoples heart for 22 years. Never will a hindi film surpass the all round entertainment that Sholay had. |
