Dear giggling girlie, I had said anyone who's bashing Sholay and even rating Dabangg above it has zero knowledge about the kind of phenomenon it was and what it still continues to mean to Indians and Bolly lovers at large. I did not mean "zero of knowledge of cinema".

Is it clear now?

Skep ji...a lot of members including me hold u in high regard and actually pay attention to what u write because of the knowledge that u have...but sometimes we can disagree right? and we don't have to be mocked for that...please don't spoil all this by calling people names like giggling girlie or zero knowledge..
yes I did say that I find Dabangg better than Sholay...Sholay is still loved by the masses...so will be Dabangg...I don't find anything special in Sholay which Dabangg doesn't have...
Action...check..
Comedy..check..
Songs..check
Cheesy dialogues..check..
Dances...check..
Romance ...check...
Iconic characters. Check..
Now I don't see why me rating Dabangg over Sholay is a problem...Dabangg will be as loved after 20 years as now...and Chulbul Pandey is an iconoc character...Its just a matter of choice Skep ji...There is nothing special in Sholay that Dabangg doesn't have...
And I can't believe ...that you made me praise Dabangg😆

@Blue Ice

That member mocked me first by taking two words from my post and laughing at me. I only returned the favour.
Otherwise I have no intention to mock anyone.

Regarding Sholay I do not want to argue anymore about it. I have said whatever I had to.

I am amused how you claim to have respect for my views but you and at times some others mock me in replies.

Doesn't matter...it's only an informal online forum. Raat gayi baat gayi. Chillax. Ciao!

i really love sholay and i dunt think its overrated at all...

It was the epitome of a good sexy masala film which got everything right...memorable characters, memorable dialogues, awsome music (the title track credits and mehbooba were path breaking)...it was the first of its kind in the sense that it was an amazing bollywoodized version of the curry western cowboy films (another genre which i love)...it was pretty ahead for its age, in terms of look, camera work, costume, dialogues, background score...even today it dosent feel dated at all...

the characters arent caricatures...thts the genre of the film...its a healthy good vs bad film with a clear hero and a clear villain...one cant expect grey characters, or characters with realistic motivations in such a film...its meant to be a delicious masala and its just that...

i personally think it completely deserves to be on that list...

dabangg is a piece of shyte in front of sholay. take it from me. and yes i have seen dabangg 3x in the theater.
i hope one day they decide to re-release sholay, i will move in to the theater playing.
😛

Skepblun is bang on here on sholay, and RD burman. at least it worked for me.
