2:03Now Playing“Sometimes a jigsaw puzzle just fits.”
That’s how Javed Akhtar describes the making of Sholay — a film that began without big expectations but grew into the most iconic cinematic production in Indian history.
In this behind-the-scenes segment, he reveals how Ramgarh became an actual working industry outside Bangalore, how custom gadgets were built from scratch, and why every special effect — from explosions to bike stunts — was done for real, in-camera, with no digital tricks.
From 70mm film to stereophonic sound and blown-up bridges — this is how Sholay broke all boundaries.
