Sholay turns 45: Amitabh Bachchan, Ramesh Sippy, Hema Malini on why it remains special

"The way Sholay was written, and the detail in which each and every character of the movie was etched, all the characters of Sholay are still fresh in people's mind -- be it Gabbar's dialogue or Basanti's non-stop babbling. Even a character like Sambha, who in the entire movie spoke only two words, is till today fresh in the memory of people," said Sippy.
