Sholay earned ₹15.5 crore net on a ₹3 crore budget—a staggering eightfold return. It set theatrical run records with 60 golden jubilees and silver jubilees at 100+ theaters.
"My directed film SHOLAY (50 years) is a timeless cinematic wonder, a magnificent action-emotional musical thriller (genius composer-singer RDBurman) classic!
Bollywood's veteran actor Dharmendra recently saluted and remembered the man behind the camera of one of his Hindi cinema's biggest blockbusters, 'Sholay'.
Even after 50 years, director Ramesh Sippy’s film Sholay continues to rule the hearts of audiences. It’s not just a film that people watch—it’s one that people relive again and again.
The history of Hindi cinema bears witness that some films are not just a medium of entertainment, but they go on to become classic cults for generations to come.
