This was the first time I watched Sholay..Not just in the theatre..FIRST TIME EVER!
When I watched Kuch Kuch Hota Hai I prided myself for knowing all the songs by heart even before the movie released! But when it came to Sholay..I knew all the dialogues too! I have seen so many enactments of the various scenes from the movie and uncountless spoofs. There were some everyday use lines derived straight from these dialogues too! Like, bahut naainsaadi hai or arey itna sannata kyon hai bhai? :P Truly Sholay was a big deal back then and it still reminisces in our day to day life.
But I watched the movie yesterday...in 2014..and to tell you the truth movies haven't evolved much since then except maybe in picture quality and technology..
The stories of many contemporary movies intersect that of Sholay. Also the jokes and funny scenes are still the same! By watching sholay I realised Indian cinema like India is still stuck in old times while the world is moving at lightning speeds!
So movie making people..come up with new things in stories, concepts and not just technology and scripts stolen from abroad.
And Sholay..good job Sippy Men! :)
