Bollywood classic `Sholay`, starring megastar Amitabh Bachchan and couple Dharmendra and Hema Malini, finally hit theatres in Pakistan for the first time on April 17, four decades after its India release. The Ramesh Sippy-directed action film, considered as an all-time blockbuster of Indian cinema, was released across the country by Geo films and Mandviwalla entertainment with a grand premiere in Karachi at the Neuplex, which was attended by several celebrities. `Sholay` has its legion of fans in Pakistan including that generation which grew old watching Indian movies on VCRs when it was illegal to screen them in Pakistan. Today`s Pakistani generation says that their parents and older relatives are very excited to watch the movie on the big screen in 3D and 2D. Nadeem Mandviwalla, the exporter and distributor of the film in Pakistan, said he was expecting the classic to fare very well, business-wise.
