National Award Winner: 'Best Book on Film' Year 2000 Released on 15 August 1975, Sholay ran in theatres for over five years, and altered the course of Indian cinema. In this book film journalist Anupama Chopra tells the fascinating story of how a four-line story idea grew to become the greatest blockbuster of Indian cinema history. With the skill of a consummate storyteller, she describes Amitabh Bachchan's struggle to convince the Sippys to choose him, an actor with ten flops behind him, over Shatrughan Sinha; the last-minute confusion over dates that led to Danny Denzongpa's exit from the film, handing the role of Gabbar Singh to Amjad Khan; and the budding romance between Hema Malini and Dharmendra during the filming that made the spot boys some money and almost killed Amitabh. Illustrated with over sixty photographs, the book is a must buy for every lover of cinema.
