After Thakur’s family is viciously murdered by a group of bandits he hires two outlaws Veeru and Jai for the exact revenge. Although they lead lives of theft and deceit, their bravery and righteousness is trustworthy to Thakur’s eyes. Veeru and Jai learn the value of justice and sacrifice for the first time while they struggle in the world of disorder and violence. Sholay, one of the most popular Hindi films of all time, is undoubtedly the most well-known and admired films of the so-called ‘Curry Western’ genre, a uniquely Indian adaptation of Hollywood Western genre. Social conflicts are deconstructed and common men reborn as heroes. [Sholay] is a masterpiece that transforms themes of love and revenge into a big-screen spectacle unlike no other. (CHO Young-jung)
