Sholay

2004 re-release movie poster of the epic Hindi film Sholay (1975) for sale.

On August 13, 2004, an enhanced version of Sholay was released to coincide with its 30th anniversary in the coming year. This is an original movie poster circulated during the enhanced re-release of Sholay – the greatest film ever made in Indian cinema. Printed and circulated in 2004, this poster was originally designed for publicity of the film but never ended up being used.

Yeh Dosti (This Friendship) was one of the most popular songs from the epic Bollywood movie Sholay. This Bollywood movie poster features a photo still from the song. Amitabh Bachchan & Dharmendra who play the characters of Jai and Veeru respectively, are seen riding on the iconic Sholay sidecar motor bike in this glossy movie poster.

Sholay is the highest grossing film of all time in Indian cinema and unanimously regarded as the greatest film ever made in Bollywood. Declared as the “Film of the Millennium” by BBC India in 1999, Sholay is an unforgettable classic that has become almost synonymous with 'masala' in Indian cinema. Its characters such as Jai, Veeru, Basanti, Thakur & Gabbar Singh have been etched into history. The film has an unbeaten record for running for over five consecutive years after being released. A 3-D version of this film was released in January 2014. Sholay enjoys a cult following in India and its dialogues are often quoted in various media.
