If someone asks me to list the all time best Bollywood movies, I will list movies like Dilwale Dulhania le Jayenge  (DDLJ ), Lagaan, Mother India, 3 idiots and a few more.

However one movie that captured the imagination of millions and for almost 2 decades was an iconic Hindi movie is Sholay (1975).

The film was a super super hit. While basically the story is a standard revenge drama, the scene flows, dialogues and characterizations is so wonderful.

Then the action scenes shot with a simple camera won admiration both within and outside country.

In fact the villain Gabbar Singh (Amzad Khan) was so much admired for his performance that his subsequent performances in other movies did not get him the recognition that they deserved.

And the Jodi of Jai-Veeru was made immortal by this movie.
