Kolkata fans relive Sholay memories as the film turns 50
It's been half a century since Sholay galloped onto the big screen, redefining Hindi cinema. Ramesh Sippy's magnum opus remains etched in the hearts of audiences for its unforgettable characters, evergreen songs, and dialogues that have outlived generations. In Kolkata, the love for the film is more than nostalgia — it's an emotion, a keepsake, and in some cases, a lifelong obsession. We spoke to some die-hard Sholay fans from the city, and their stories are as colourful as the movie itself. A special screening and a star encounter Sholay started slow but quickly turned into a phenomenon. Its popularity was so immense that it led to special screenings, including one in Kolkata where its star cast was present. Ramesh Kumar Damani, an insurance professional & a determined fan, seized the opportunity to meet his idol. 'I found out that Amitabh ji was staying at Oberoi Grand in Kolkata. I went there and somehow reached the fourth floor Presidential suite-402. I met him & got a picture with him,' he said. The 'City of Jai' For entrepreneur Anurag Chirimar, his love for Sholay is deeply intertwined with his admiration for Amitabh Bachchan. His collection of memorabilia includes a rare Sholay LP signed by Bachchan himself. He even personalised his car as a unique tribute to Big B. 'I showed him my car, on which, as a tribute, we mentioned Kolkata as the 'City of Jai',' he said, highlighting the personal connection fans feel with both the film and its star. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

Hrithik Roshan's adorable 1970s picture with Amitabh Bachchan will melt your heart—Throwback
Long before he became Bollywood's Greek God, Hrithik Roshan was just a wide-eyed boy, utterly mesmerized by the towering presence of Amitabh Bachchan . A while ago, Hrithik took to social media to share a priceless throwback picture with the megastar—one that dates back to the late 1970s, before he had even dreamt of entering the film industry. Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of Mr. Natwarlal The picture captures little Hrithik standing on the sets of Mr. Natwarlal (1979), mouth wide open, staring in disbelief at Amitabh Bachchan. It was during the recording of the evergreen children's song 'Mere Paas Aao Mere Doston Ek Kissa Suno', composed by Hrithik's uncle, the legendary music director Rajesh Roshan. Hrithik recalled how he was supposed to sing a line in the track. 'Mehboob studio, Bombay, 1979: My chacha, Mr. Rajesh Roshan, took me along for the song recording for 'Mr. Natwarlal' after I agreed to sing a line in the song 'Mere pass aao',' Hrithik wrote. 'I backed out last minute, for reasons very clearly visible on my face in the picture above.' That reason, of course, was none other than Amitabh Bachchan himself. Hrithik confessed that he was so awestruck by the superstar that stage fright got the better of him. Fans reaction: Fans flooded the comments section with nostalgia and admiration. One user pointed out, 'Hrithik Roshan did a wonderful job as the Angry Young Man in 'Agneepath ' . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eine zielgerichtete Strategie für Ihre finanzielle Zukunft eToro Click Here Undo His 'Vikram Vedha' is also in that zone.' Another commented, 'I wonder if this is from the recording of the song 'Mere Paas Aao Mere Doston Ek Kissa Suno'. 'Mr. Natwarlal' was a fun film.' Over the years, fate ensured that Hrithik and Amitabh would share not just frames but also unforgettable cinematic moments. From the emotional family drama ' Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's moving ' Guzaarish' , their collaboration has given audiences powerful on-screen memories. But this throwback moment remains special—it's a glimpse of a future superstar as a young boy, caught between wonder and nervousness in front of the man who would one day become his co-star.
