It is well known to every movie lover that Sholay initially received negative critic reviews and also had a bad commercial response.

Even after all these years, the movie has clinched the first spot in the list of 'Top 10 Indian Films" of all time in the British Film Institute's 2002 poll. 

Gabbar Singh's popular dialogue "Arrey Oo Sambha, Kitna Innam Rakhe Hai Sarkar Hum Par" takes a twist, "Kitna Bik Aur Kama Raha Hai Sholay". The brand Sholay is simply raking moolah for even minions.

Dharmendra, one of the biggest stars of Indian cinema, made a foray into films with Arjun Hingorani's Dil Bhi Tera Hum Bhi Tere in 1960.

Even as his caravan chugged ahead in 1960, Dharmendra had to weather the showbiz storms from the likes of Shammi Kapoor and Rajendra (Jubilee) Kumar in 1960s to Rajesh Khanna in 70s
