Review of Sholay (1975) by Steve H — 03 Apr 2012
Interesting film from 1975. Some of the action is pretty good. I wasn't keen on a number of things....like most Hindi films it tries to do too much (when you consider that this is the 1970s....and that Hollywood started doing genre mixing only in the last 15 years.
...you could say it is ahead of it's time). The train part at the beginning was good - then the music and comedy ruined the atmosphere for me. Watch 'Lagaan' or 'Stars On Earth' to see how far Bollywood has come since then.
