'Sholay', the 1975 cinematic masterpiece by Ramesh Sippy, continues to captivate audiences with its vivid tapestry of unforgettable characters. While leads Jai-Veeru are iconic, it's the array of supporting roles that have carved a niche in the hearts of cinephiles.
Characters such as Viju Khote's Kaalia, who only appeared in two scenes, and Mac Mohan's single-line wonder, Sambha, are celebrated as much as the protagonists. Their defining moments, though fleeting, have become etched in pop culture and continue to resonate decades after the film's release.
Even comedic roles like Asrani's jailer and Jagdeep's Soorma Bhopali blend humor with cultural commentary, contributing profoundly to the film's enduring charm. These performances highlight the rich, character-driven storytelling that sets 'Sholay' apart in Indian cinema history.
