Asian Network Presents celebrates the 40th birthday of one of Indian cinema's most iconic movies, 'Sholay'.

Released in 1975, the movie starred super-hunk Dharmendra and up-and-coming actor Amitabh Bachchan and opened to luke-warm reviews. However, favourable word-of-mouth publiscity helped the movie to become a hit. With memorable characters including the truly terrifying outlaw, Gabbar Singh, quotable dialogues and an iconic soundtrack, 'Sholay' has become the finest example of a masala movie.

In this one-hour special, actors Dharmendra and Amitabh talk fondly about their memories of the film and director Ramesh Sippy tells how this legendary movie came to be.
