Devansh BanerjeeWritten on June 7, 2019"One of the best Amitabh Bachchan movies ever, if not THE best. Excellent acting, direction, and writing. A must-see for lovers of Bollywood cinema. Mr. Bachchan won numerous acting awards for this and it's clear why. His portrayal of notorious Mumbai outlaw Vijay (based on real-life outlaw Haji Mastan) is captivating and mesmerizing. A classic!

"My favorite Amitabh Bachchan film. As an American who loves spaghetti westerns, Sholay has the same beauty and grit of a Sergio Leone film in a Bollywood package. Amitabh Bachan and Dharmendra are tremendous here. It has an extraordinary story, powerful dialogue, superlative acting, and fantastic cinematography. I cannot express further how much I love this movie. A masterpiece that deserves to be seen by everyone around the world and not just in India. "

"A '70s Bollywood gem. The movie belongs to Amitabh as Anthony. He's so hilarious and charismatic in the role. The movie's treatment of religion as well is worth noting. Amar, Akbar, and Anthony might be of different faiths but the way they become attached is very touching and speaks about how Indians can be as one in spite of opposing beliefs. The brothers' respective romances were very entertaining, too. Excellent film worth watching!"#5Don

"What a magnificent movie! Bachchan played Don and Vijay exceptionally well. No wonder he won Best Actor. This is a typical Bollywood film so aside from being a thriller, it's also a musical. Great campy entertainment. The Shahrukh remake might have better production values but the original is way more fun. "#6Black

"I remember watching this film when I was in high school and I bawled my eyes out at the ending. Ayesha Kapur was nothing short of amazing as the feral blind girl, but the movie belongs to Amitabh Bachchan as the teacher who later succumbs to Alzheimer's disease. It's a very tonally erratic film the way it shifts from comedy to drama but it worked. A+"#7Laawaris

Laawaris (Orphan or Bastard) is a 1981 Indian drama film directed by Prakash Mehra starring Amitabh Bachchan, Amjad Khan, and Zeenat Aman. The film is famous for the song "Mere Angene Mein Tumhara Kya Kaam Hai" performed by Bachchan in drag.

"A little dragging and trite for an Amitabh movie. It has the usual angsty story of an orphan toughened by a hard life who later discovers his true nature. We first see Bachchan in an exaggerated macho costume complete with an open shirt but later he goes into drag and it's stupefyingly insane and random. Still, Amitabh pulls it off as he's a reliable actor. Not great but I guess a kinda fun weird film. "#8Agneepath

"Intense and brilliant. The Indian Scarface. Amitabh Bachchan really is the star of the Millenium. His presence, his line delivery, his body language. He is epicness personified. Amitabh Bachchan's age doesn't matter. He is and forever will be the best Indian actor ever. "
