Spicy Comments:

Sholay was the first India movie to be shot in the 70 mm format. Its cinematography remains outstanding in the 1970s. Another attraction of the movie was its stereophonic soundtrack.
Sholay was shot near the small village Ramnagaram, which is located near Bangalore in the state of Karnataka.
Not only the songs of Sholay, but also its dialogues became famous and were sold on special cassettes. The most famous dialogue is the "Kitne Aadmi The"-dialogue between Gabbar and his gang.
