Javed Akhtar shares how Jai and Veeru's camaraderie broke the norms of cinematic friendship
Veteran screenwriter Javed Akhtar of the legendary duo Salim-Javed, has opened up on the friendship of Jai and Veeru in the iconic film 'Sholay'. The veteran writer spoke with playback singer Sonu Nigam , and recollected how he and his partner Salim Khan sketched the characters of the two protagonists, and their dynamics. He said that the film set a different trend of cinematic friendships and broke the clutter of all the existing norms of the time when it came to male friendships. He told Sonu in a podcast for Spotify, "If you see the films before Sholay, in which there is male bonding, then there were some very syrupy things in it. One friend says to another friend, 'If I asked for your life, then what will you do'. There were such dialogues. In this picture, the best friends that you see, they did not talk about any friendship". He further mentioned that both Jai and Veeru would also land each other in trouble, which presented the true essence of their friendship. One instance of this is when Jai (played by Amitabh Bachchan ) goes to speak with the mausi of Basanti to ask for the latter's hand in marriage for his friend Jai ( Dharmendra ). Javed shared, "Always pulling each other's leg, joking, showing off to each other, and you can see that they are very good friends. This is real male bonding, which happens, that was the first time. Otherwise, prior to this, it was a syrupy relationship. Lovers used to look at each other like how cinematic friends would look at each other in films/ It doesn't look like this here. They were comrades. So, the things that we had to say, which we did not put in the dialogue, all came in that song 'Ye Dosti'".

Saif Ali Khan's finest roles that changed the game
Saif Ali Khan's finest roles that changed the game Aug 16, 2025 Saif Ali Khan is celebrating his 54th birthday today. From intense villains to charming lovers and quirky oddballs, the actor has constantly reinvented himself on screen. Credit: Instagram/Saif Ali Khan FP Here's a look at some of his finest performances that showcase his incredible range. Saif completely broke his chocolate-boy image to play the menacing, conniving Langda Tyagi in Vishal Bhardwaj's Omkara. It's one of his career-best performances and won him several awards. Langda Tyagi – Omkara As a troubled cop unraveling a web of crime and conspiracy, Saif brought intensity and emotional depth to this Netflix series. It marked his successful OTT debut and a new phase in his career. Sartaj Singh – Sacred Games In the period romance, Saif played Shekhar, a man torn between love and pride. His nuanced performance captured the contradictions of a flawed lover. Shekhar - Parineeta This romantic comedy won him a National Award. His character arc from a flirt to a mature partner was both relatable and entertaining. Rohan – Hum Tum (2004) Playing a charming yet sinister man, Saif shocked audiences with this gritty performance. The film helped transition him into darker, more serious roles. Karan Singh Rathod – Ek Hasina Thi India's first zombie comedy! Saif played a Russian mafioso-turned-zombie-hunter with blonde hair and a whacky accent—proving his flair for experimental and offbeat roles. Boris – Go Goa Gone In Imtiaz Ali's take on timeless love stories, Saif pulled off a double act with striking ease. Jai/Veer - Love Aaj Kal Saif's Gautam was flirty, funny, and conflicted, embodying the confusion of modern relationships. His chemistry with Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty drove the film. Gautam - Cocktail Perhaps his boldest experiment, it saw Saif in a neon wig, tripping through a night of chaos and self-discovery. He was quirky, fearless, and unlike anything mainstream. Rileen - Kaalakaandi Happy Birthday, Saif Ali Khan!

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.
