Sholay to release in Pakistan after 40 years.

The cult classic Sholay, an action adventure Bollywood movie about two petty thieves hired by a police officer to exact revenge on a ruthless bandit, is set to release in Pakistan, 40 years after hitting Indian theatres. The release of the Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra film, directed by Ramesh Sippy in 1975, proved to be a watershed event in the industry. The movie screened for five years at a landmark Mumbai theatre, the longest run in India at the time. It’s no wonder that owner and managing director of Mandviwalla Entertainment, Nadeem Mandviwalla, is now bringing the classic to Pakistani screens after decades.
 
The epic movie's cast includes greats such as Sanjeev Kumar, Hema Malini, Jaya Bachchan and Amjad Khan. The movie was remastered in 2014 and released in 3D for the new generation of moviebuffs. It will be releasing in 2D and 3D in Pakistan.
