This blockbuster changed the fate of every star, gave Bollywood two new superstars, even the villain became a legend, film was.., lead actors were... In the ever-evolving world of cinema, many films come and go, but some films redefine Indian cinema and leave a deep and everlasting impression. One such example of this is a film that was released in the year 1975. This film was not just a commercial hit, but it was a cultural revolution that redefined storytelling, characterisation, and cinematic scale in India. Even after 50 years of its release, it maintains the status of a cult classic and is remembered fondly for its iconic dialogues, powerful storytelling, and unforgettable characters. Yes, the film that we are talking about is none other than the cult classic Sholay. What's interesting is that when this film was first released, it received an underwhelming response. In fact, in the first three days, the film failed to perform at the box office, leaving the makers worried. As per the reports, the climax was even considered for alteration, and the film was nearly re-released with changes. But destiny had other plans. After the fourth day, the tides turned, and theaters were full for this film. What happened later was nothing that anybody predicted. This film got so much love and appreciation that it created a history of running for over five years at Mumbai's iconic Minerva theatre, a record that very few films have matched. Blockbuster that gave Bollywood two new superstars Not only was this film a commercial hit, but it gave Bollywood its two new superstars. It turned the cast into overnight legends. Amitabh Bachchan as Jai and Dharmendra as Veeru became household names, while Sanjeev Kumar's role as the tough yet emotional retired police officer, Thakur, remains one of his most iconic performances. Hema Malini as Basanti and Jaya Bhaduri as Radha brought elegance and emotion to the story. But it was Amjad Khan's portrayal of the dreaded dacoit Gabbar Singh that became immortal in Indian pop culture. Even today, his dialogues 'Kitne aadmi the?' and 'Jo darr gaya, samjho mar gaya' resonate with the audience and echo after years. Record-Breaking Success Speaking of its budget, this film was shot extensively in the rocky terrains of Ramanagara in Karnataka; the shoot spanned nearly two and a half years. As per the reports, the film was made on a staggering budget of Rs 3 crores. The film earned gold at the box office; it collected Rs 35 crores worldwide and was marked as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of its time. Even today, Sholay resonates with the audience and continues to inspire filmmakers and entertain the audience.

‘Aamir Khan had a problem with my scene, he told Mahesh Bhatt': Tiku Talsania recalls getting ‘really worried' before conversation with star
Aamir Khan's relentless pursuit of perfection is no secret in the Hindi film industry. Known for diving deep into the nuances of every script he takes on, the actor is famously known to call for reshoots if a scene doesn't sit right with him, even if it's just a minor detail. Veteran character actor Tiku Talsania, in a recent conversation with Friday Talkies, recalled one such moment during the making of Mahesh Bhatt's Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi, when he worked with Aamir for the first time. Sharing the anecdote, he said, 'Only about 15 days were left for the film's release. Bhatt saab called me and said, 'Tiku, where are you? Come to Film City.' I asked, 'What happened?' He said, 'Arey, this Aamir yaar…' The moment I heard that, I knew something was wrong. Bhatt saab told me, 'He has a problem with the scene you did with him.' I got really worried and told my wife, 'See, this is what happens when you get a good scene, it'll probably get cut now because of him.' If Bhatt saab is naming Aamir, then it must be that only.' He continued with a laugh, 'But when I reached the set, Aamir was the first one to get up and respectfully offered me his chair. He said, 'Sir, sir, please come, sit.' That made me even more sure the scene was about to be cut!' However, what followed changed his impression of the superstar completely. 'Then he said something so beautiful, I still remember it. He told me, 'I've seen the film 25 times, and the only thing that bothers me is the scene where I take money from you. My character shouldn't be accepting that money. Even when I take money from Pooja's grandfather later, it's the money I spent on her, not a reward. So if I take money from you, the whole character arc will feel wrong.'' Tiku then asked him what they should do. 'He said, 'You still hand me the money like you did earlier, but this time I won't accept it.' That's the genius of Aamir Khan. He touched my heart that day. He thinks about the film, about everything. Watching your own film 25 times just to reflect and fix one detail, that's no small thing.' Also Read | Sitaare Zameen Par: If you need Aamir Khan to manipulate you into being a good person, maybe you're beyond redemption Tiku also shared another incident from the sets of Mahesh Bhatt's Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, where Aamir and he collaborated again. This time, the actor's commitment extended to an entire scene that he didn't feel was working. 'I had reached the set and saw Aamir's father standing there, agitated. He told me, 'Look at this Aamir, he's cancelled the shoot!' Then I met Aamir and asked him if the shoot was really off. He explained to me, 'If it's just you, Mushtaq and me, this scene won't reach its full potential. We've already sung a full song, we've made 2,500 shirts in the film. I need the whole crowd for this to become a triumphant moment.'' A similar incident occurred on the sets of Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, where Anupam Kher revealed that Aamir Khan took issue with his performance and raised it with director Mahesh Bhatt. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Kher explained: 'He wasn't upset with me personally, but with my interpretation of the climax. My character tells his daughter to abandon her groom at the altar — I played it with a comic touch, thinking only an irrational man would say that. Aamir didn't like it and complained to Bhatt saab, even though he was just a co-actor.' Interestingly, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke was also the film where Aamir took on screenwriting duties, co-writing the screenplay with actor and writer Robin Bhatt. The film, an unofficial remake of the Hollywood classic Houseboat, was both a critical and commercial success, much like Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi.
