Fantastic... I have lots of book on films but this is the best and outstanding... surprisingly it doesn't take much pages in analyzing story, scene, dialogue etc. but it is actually the story of MAKING of the film.. which is not less interested than the film... to me it's Anupama Chopra's best book. Bollywood film lover should not miss it. Sholay is not my fvt film but this book is certainly the one!

Jai Arjun Singh's recently released making of "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro" is a far superior read than this dud.

Needles to tell about the book. it is self explainatory as the film is historical. Sholay lovers should keep this one in their shelf.
