Celebrating 50 years of India's most iconic film, Sippy Films presents Sholay's original uncut version restored in 4k and Dolby 5.1 by Film Heritage Foundation. Voted the greatest Indian film ever made in a 2002 British Film Institute poll and honoured as "Film of the Millennium" by BBC India in 1999, the blockbuster film Sholay, directed by Ramesh Sippy, premiered at the Minerva cinema hall in Mumbai in 1975, where it ran for five years without a break. Scripted by the famed writer duo Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar (billed as Salim-Javed), the film, described as a curry western, is a landmark of Indian cinema that is a mosaic of all genres: an action-thriller, a revenge drama, a comedy and a tragedy set to music, song and dance composed by the iconic music composer R.D. Burman.
