I think the movie has the all qualties which a movie needs to run in theatre's, even after 40 years.Everyone has worked hard to make the film a big sucess. Songs, lyrics,music, story, dialogues, actors, direction, etc are so good that we can see the film so many times without boring. Today Ramgopal verma is re-making the sholay film,lets wait and see how he proves himself that he can justify to expectations of the people, but i believe that he will not achieve great sucess compared to the former.

Yes you are right, Old is Gold. The original Sholay is gold and will be gold for ever. New experiment will be waste of money and time. It can't and will never come to the expection of peoples.

I completely agree/Original sholay will always remain the original.I am sure even if RGV's sholay remake would be released and the Original Sholay is re-released with it,the original will still do better business.The best part about the original sholay is that when you see the film,you become a part of it.

true guyz Sholay is a phenomenal movie, no wonder the are adding its making in school curriculum and besides there was an unofficial remake by the name of RAMGARH KE SHOLAY but that movie was not even one millionth of the original.

I have never seen the second film like showy. After passing 40 years the Sholy seems still fresh. I have seen this film about 15 years ago but I still remember each character and their dialogs. Dham, Amit, Ghabar, Asrani ,Sanjeev Kumar, Surma Bhopali, Sambha all the characters have performed their role perfectly. The dialogs, the scenes, selection of sites and music everything is perfect and memorable. I think still next in 40 years on one will compete the SHOLE.

Yeah its one of the greatest movie indian cinema has ever got. This is one of the movies which no one cannot make a remake.I dont think he will be able to do justice to sholay and remakes never do well in india. s The artists now and then are totally differnt, the mentallality of people have changed and there are lot of other factors which i think will be the cause of failure of remake of sholay. Cheers, Tutul

Sholay-2 deserves to be made. But this remake cannot compete with the original film whosoever actor be taken. Every actor be the "Thakoor" has done a fabulous job.

I have nothing against remakes but sholay was an ultimate movie. there will definitely be comparisons between the two and i cant wait to see how it turns out. whether it can recreate magic.

Yes I am fully agree with you.The real Sholay was not made again and what Ramgopal Verma is doing is totally not good.

Really, Sholay is sholay. I first watched Sholay in 1977 after a year of its release. So far till date, I have watched many times even in tv channels. I feel no viewer of Sholay can forget its characters and their dilogues: 1) Thaakur Baldev Singh:- #"Yeh haat naheen Gabbar, faansi kaa fandaa hai!" #"Tum Gabbar ko naheen maaroge!" #"Police ko Gabbar chaahiye zindaa yaa murdaa, lekin mujhe Gabbar chaahiye zindaa."2) Veeru:- #"Ab Basantee bhi tayaar, mousee bhi tayaar. Is liye marnaa cancel." #"Thaakur hum aap kaa yeh ladaai naheen ladh sakte!" #"Meine tujhe kyaa samjhaa, lekin tu kyaa niklaa!!! He Bhagwaan...! #"Basantee een kutton ke saamne mat naachnaa!"3) Jaydev:- #"Mujhe to sabhi police-waalon ki surat ekhi maalum hoti hai." #"Ye Veeru! Teri taangewaalee." #"Surmaabhaai hum jail jaanaa chaahaate hain." #"Agar hilneki koshis ki, to phuk ke rakh dungaa!"4) Basanti:- #"Veeru niche utar aao, mein tumhe saadi karne ke liye tayaar hun!" #"Chal Channo aaj teri imtihaan ki belaa hai!"5) Raadhaa:- #"Lijie... Isme kuch puraane jewar pade huehain, jo mereliye bekaar hein." #"Mithaai... Mithaai... Muh kholiye Thaakur saahaab, Mithaai... Aur yeh rahaa aap ke rang... Mein chali apne sahelion ki paas..."6) Gabbar Singh:- #"Yaad rakhungaa... Tujhe yaad rakhungaa! Duniyaa ki kisi jail ki deewaar itni pakki naheen thaakur jo Gabbar ko bees saal to kyaa bees ghante bhi rakh sake." #"Aabe o Saambaa, Kaaliyaa to kaahaa thaa ki do re! Kaahaan hai dusraa? Ye kaahaan hai teraa jodidaar...?" #"Kyaa soch kar laute the? Sardaar saawaasi degaa... inaam degaa kyaa?" #"Ye Saambaa uthaa to jaaraa banduk aur lagaa to nishaanaa is kutte par!"7) Angrejon ki zamaane ki jailor:- #"Aadhaa is taraf jaao, aadhaa us taraf jaao aur baaki mere piche aao!" #"Mein is jail mein Angrejon ki zamaane ki jailor hun... Haa haa!"8) Imaam saaheb:- #"Kaun? Basantee... Jaraa samjhaao to is Ahmed Miyaan ko!"9) Mousee:- #"He Bhagwaan! Betaa Veeru, niche utar aa... mein saadi ke liye tayaar hun!"10) Surmaa Bhopaali:- #"Paanch rupaiaa mein... naheen to kyaa saare jangal kaa lakdi milegaa? Meraa naam Surmaa Bhopaali..."For the well weaved dilogues, thanks to the duo "Salim-Javed". For 70 mm picturisation thanks to cinematographer late "Dwaraka Divecha". And also many thanks to producer and director duo G.P. Sippy and Ramesh Sippy for creating such a mile-stone in Indian cinema. Thanks.

The original story had gabbar singh as a army man who gets court martialated because of his smuggling activities and thakur being the one who somehow is responsible for the whole thing. this part of the story was cut out in the screenply itself and gabbar army fatigues were the only things that stayed on

this is ultimate film in bollywood history. When I saw this film first time I was thrilled. After that I saw this film so many times. I am eagerly waiting for New Solay
