I have seen Sholay half a dozen times, but don't remember too many dialogues - that puts me in category 2, I guess. BTW, I have actually done the water tank bit myself - When I was seeing her, the watertank in our institute was our favorite place to hang out. In fact, we kissed for the first time sitting on top of the watertank. One Friday night, there was a party at the institute, we were both drunk and we had a fight while we were at the watertank. As she started walking down the staircase, I shouted to her, like Dharmendra in Sholay: I love you! Don’t leave! I was loud enough to be heard above the music at the party and very soon, we had chowkidaars and friends coming to the watertank to check us out. Eventually, a friend convinced me to come down and, everybody went back to the party. As you can imagine, she was embarassed beyond description, and so was I next morning. ROTFL, no?

djakeel: Thanks!

km: Exactly. That has to be my favourite – and the flourish with which he says “Tumhara naam kya hai Basanti!”

Megha: See, we need to look up records of Kumbh Mela around our childhood years – We do.

And what of the fourth kind – the ones who have seen the movie multiple times, know the dialogues by-heart, own and have read the Anupama Chopra book on the making of the movie, have seen the alternate ‘Director’s Cut’ version multiple times, and can play spot-the-differences between the two? They exist too, you know. Please to treat them with kindness and compassion. They are human too. Well, sort of anyway. *shuffles away quietly avoiding people’s eyes*

The whole Hindi-speaking world can be divided into three: those who’ve seen Sholay once, those who’ve seen it multiple times and those who watch parts of the film again and again on YouTube.

Yes, someone should upload that tonga ride sequence. To watch Amitabh stuff his ears with cotton is zimbly priceless.
