Burman Singers: Kishore Kumar and Manna Dey Lyrics: Anand bakshi Did you know? Sholay is considered a classic and one of the best Indian films. It was ranked first in the British Film Institutes 2002 poll of Top 10 Indian Films of all time. In 2005, the judges of the 50th annual Filmfare Awards named it the Best Film of 50 Years. When first released, Sholay received negative critical reviews and a tepid commercial response, but favourable word-of-mouth publicity helped it to become a box office success. It broke records for continuous showings in many theatres across India, and ran for more than five years at Mumbais Minerva theatre. By some accounts, Sholay is the highest grossing Indian film of all time, adjusted for inflation. The films dialogues and certain characters became extremely popular, contributing to numerous cultural memes and becoming part of Indias daily vernacular. In January 2014, Sholay was re-released to theatres in the 3D format. Yeh Dosti has been called the ultimate friendship anthem. It was remixed and sung by Shankar Mahadevan and Udit Narayan for the 2010 Malayalam film Four Friends, and also in 2010 it was used to symbolise Indias friendship with the United States during a visit from President Barack Obama. Happy Friendship day to all !!
