Ilaiyaraaja, whom I consider the god of film scoring, became a film composer, in 1978. I immensely liked R.D.Burman's background score in the film. A week ago, I saw someone’s tweet about celebration of 35th anniversary of Sholay, and I wanted to watch the film immediately to see what the fuss is all about and, I saw the film. I bought a “Sholay” DVD from Moser Baer, but somehow, I never found time to watch the film. Both the book and the documentary film have lots of fascinating tidbits of information and anecdotes gathered from the musicians, who played in R.D.Burman’s orchestra, when R.D.Burman was recording the background score of "Sholay". The interest in the film grew bigger when I read the book “Behind the Curtain: Making Music in Mumbai’s Film Studios”. The urge to watch Sholay came when I saw “Pancham Unmixed: Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai’, a documentary on R.D.Burman.

Everyone has a story behind when, where, why and how they watched Sholay for the first time. That explains why the some of the sentences that should have ended with an exclamatory mark ends with a question mark in this article. I have been watching Hindi films, regularly, only since 2000. I belong to the Lagaan era of Hindi cinema.

I saw Sholay without an iota of innocence and with complete ignorance of Hindi Cinema that came before “Sholay” or even after it.

It has been 35 years since “Sholay” – the most popular and celebrated film in the history of India Cinema got released, but I watched it for the first time, only a week before.
