Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

classicsoncall Obviously this film has a huge following and is one of the most successful Indian movies ever. So you'll have to excuse this viewer for not quite getting what the fuss is all about. The principal characters here reminded me of those Seventies TV undercover cops, Starsky and Hutch. That would be Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul, as if they were plopped down right in the middle of an earlier decade's spaghetti Western flick. It's got all the ingredients - an intimidating villain on the order of Claude Akins (I would have said Lee Van Cleef, but Gabbar Singh wasn't tall and lanky), a Eurowest score in parts, and desert cactus as part of the landscape. It's got singing cowboys too, but that's a throwback to the Roy Rogers and Gene Autry movies of the Forties and Fifties.On top of that, the picture drones on for over three hours, with not much going on that couldn't have been reduced to a more comfortable two hour or so run time. And right in the middle of it, there's a scene in which a Hitler knock-off appears for an altogether embarrassing sequence of near pratfalls that's just stupid, to put it as mildly as I can. Seriously, I don't understand what qualifies this as one of the best ever, I had all I could do to keep my trigger finger off the fast forward button as I tried to let this sink in.For some balance perhaps, I will say that I liked the Festival of Colors celebration and dance. I don't know whether that was an actual event that occurs in India or if it was made up for the movie, but that held out some promise as an innovative touch. If you're on the fence for watching the movie after reading this review, I suggest flipping a coin. Heads you watch it, or heads you watch it. You'll get what I mean by the end of the picture.

ajay-92672 Some call it the greatest Indian movie ever but i disagree this movie which deals with 2 small time thieves which are then hired by an ex cop who wants to take revenge by catching Gabbar that too alive i would say this is good movie overall not that great,probably one of the few old movies which i watched

arshdav-93817 This movie deserve as a the movie of century. Definitely no doubt this movie meets its success after the remake of a Hollywood movie. Actors Amitabh Bachchan and Darminder Singh the two living legends had played a very good roles and specially Sanjeev Kumar one of the finest actor of Vintage era made the movie really interesting. The villain Gabbar made a fabulous performance. The music and direction made it the best for the audience. I really appreciate this because it was also my father's favorite movie.

rahuljonathan-nair The 3D version of this all-time classic should work for two reasons: One, the simplicity on display, when one compares it with the recent releases that are infested with VFX. Two, the invigorating and revitalizing drama writers: Salim-Javed that leaves you awestruck, even though you may have lost count of the number of times you've watched this incredible entertainer. With 3D, every pivotal character stands out quite literally in the film. On the whole, there are films and there is SHOLAY. Frankly, it would be sacrilegious to miss this classic. Watch it. Now.The 3D conversion could've been more polished for a film of this stature. Still, the effect is spellbinding. The train sequence still the best train sequence ever shot in Hindi cinema is the highlight – new effects have been added to enhance the 3D element. With a length of over 3 hours, the 3D gets tiresome in parts but the sheer grandeur of the film keeps you going. India's epic adventure is back – rush to the screens now!
