This weekend, the classic 1975 Bollywood crime thriller Sholay re-released in the 3D format. Sholay stands out as an iconic evergreen cult classic which features the most remembered villain character - the bandit leader Gabbar.
Gabbar was played by the late actor Amjad Khan. Gabbar's seemingly simple dialogues became so popular, they were often used in jokes and light conversations. One of the most remembered scenes of all Indian movies, is the "Kitne aadmi the ?" scene i.e "How many men were there ?"
Let me explain the scene to you in short. Gabbar's 3 loyal dacoits went to loot a village and extort money from innocent people. However, the 2 protaganists Jay (played by Amitabh Bachchan) & Veeru (played by Dharmendra) , fight them off, so the 3 henchmen return empty handed. The dacoit leader Gabbar gets extremely angry and frustrated by hearing this. What follows is a scene in which the 3 dacoits have to pay a heavy price for coming back empty handed.
Another famous intense scene is the "Ye haat humko dede thakur" which translates to "Give me your hands, thakur". Here Gabbar chops off the thakur's hands with swords.
As a tribute to the classic scene, check out this funny Sholay meme featuring some Indian students.
