All time Indian Cinema biggest hit!!! Sholay became a milestone in Indian cinema with an all-star cast, good dialogue, stylish cinematography and a soundtrack that's still enjoyable today. The story is very enjoyable though the ending is not the typical Bollywood all happy ending. Definitely worth watching!!!

The sequence on the train is one of the best I have seen in any film. A timeless film overall. I can watch it anytime regardless of the number of times I have seen it.

Sholay is the story of a cop who arrests a dreaded dacoit and puts him in jail. Furious and mad with revenge, the dacoit escapes from prison and wipes off 'thakur's entire family. The dacoit also chops off the hands of the 'thakur'. It is now the 'thakur's turn to avenge the murder of his family and he does it from outside police system. The 'thakur' hires two notorious criminals and trains them to confront the dacoit....more
Review from upperstall.com
Thakur Baldev Singh (Sanjeev Kumar), once a senior police officer, hires two small-time crooks, Veeru (Dharmendra) and Jaidev (Amitabh Bachchan) to bring the dreaded dacoit Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan) to him alive. Gabbar had been caught by the Thakur and sent to jail. He escaped soon after and had gunned down the Thakur's entire family barring the youngest daughter-in-law, Radha, who was away at the temple. In a violent rage, the Thakur rode unarmed to the ravines where Gabbar Singh reigned to confront him. Thinking humiliation a better revenge than death, the bandit hacked off the Thakur's arms. In the village,...more
