goosebumps erupted and theatres shook in 1975 when amjad khan's voice bellowed, "जो डर गया, समझो मर गया."

happy 50 years of sholay 🎥✨🎬

so I finished watching sholay (1975) today. i fucking hate the ending, let me get this out.

why did jai have to die? why did anyone of the duo had to die? couldn't basanti have died? wouldn't have impacted the plot anyway. hell, even thakur could have died at the end after he'd gotten gabbar singh and tortured him and what not and that would have been a relief tbh that he wouldn't have to carry the grief of losing his family anymore.

but why jai 😭

also did I mention? how fucking gayyyyyy jai and veeru are? huh. why so gayyyy?

whenever veeru mentions his "married life" to basanti, to jai. jai doesn't like it one bit, it's obvious. the way he scoffs and rolls his eyes and just is SO DONE and doesn't wanna talk about it is insane-

and when jai talks about his "married life" to radha (how does that line of romance work anyway, throughout the movie they don't exchange even 10 words of worthful conversation 😭) that conversation QUICKLY gets off that topic 😭

so GAY 😭 and that one song in the middle which I skipped, that had only these two, that's also VERY GAY 😭 ugh

and the ending was shit 😭 like why was veeru so happy after seeing basanti, jai just died man, u has tears in ur eyes not two min ago-

One of my wishes was to see a classic Bollywood movie in theaters. I’m so grateful to see Sholay in theaters with my sister. Such an amazing experience. We all were saying the iconic dialogues and singing. Happy 50th Anniversary Sholay! ❤️

A Greek Cypriot song in Bollywood

Although Greek music of the 20th century borrowed Indian tunes, this was one of the few times the opposite happened. Our South Asian friends will probably recognize the song "Mehbooba" from the movie Sholay (1975).

The original tune is by Violaris from the album "Ta Kypriotika tou Violari" (1970). Demis Roussos took the tune and created the song "Say you Love me" (1974). Afterwards, the Bollywood song "Mehbooba" from the movie Sholay (1975) was released.
