Sholay

In order to avenge the brutal killings of his family members against a notorious bandit Gabbar Singh; ex-police inspector Thakur Baldev Singh recruits two convicts Veeru and Jaidev because Gabbar killed all of Thakur's family and Gabbar cut off bot of Thkur's arms. This was a result of an earlier incident in which Thakur -- acting as a police officer -- had captured Gabbar and helped in his conviction in the court. Gabbar managed to escape and wreaked havoc in Thakur's life. Now Thakur seeks the help of these two crooks to get Gabbar. Both agree to capture Gabbar Singh live and hand him over to Baldev Singh. Veeru falls for the local horse carriage driver Basanti (Hema Malini); and Jai starts to have romantic feelings for Baldev Singh's widowed daughter-in-law, Radha (Jaya Bhaduri). To make matters worse, Gabbar has sworn to kill both Jai and Veeru, and holds Basanti as a hostage, to lure them to him. The ensuing action makes for one of the most exciting Indian movies made to date.
