Sequel to Sholay
I loved Sholay. But then, who didn't? I didn't like one thing though: Jai's death.
So in Sholay 2, Jai (Amitabh Bachchan) would make a comeback. No, not as a restless soul vying to make contact with the perpetually muted Radha (Jaya Bachchan). Instead Jai will have a secret twin brother Vijay (Big B again) of whom no one, including Salim-Javed, knew of. Many years later, after he learns of Jai's death, he contacts the happily married Veeru (Dharmendra) and Basanti (Hema Malini), who now are proud owners of Dhanno Racecourse. Where was Vijay all this time? In rehab of course, trying to kick his drinking habit.
Vijay and Veeru click instantly and sing a remix version of Yeh dosti hum nahi chodenge. But Gabbar's dark shadow still lingers. One of his many illegitimate sons, Babbar Singh (Rajpal Yadav), seeks revenge. He attacks Ramgarh, which is now a happening town with multiplexes and malls. Thakur Baldev Singh calls on his mini army of Veeru and Vijay to fight the evil. Vijay and Radha don't waste any time exchanging glances. They sms their feelings to each other and get married. The climax of Sholay 2 is its turning point. Guess who shoots Babbar in the head? Not Vijay. Not Veeru. Not Thakur. It's Chacha Imamsaab(A K Hangal). - Courtesy: Sukanya Verma
The best marriage proposal ever:
(Mausi asks Amitabh about dharmender's earning etc.)
AB: Kamane ka to yeh hai Mausi - ek baar biwi bachchon ki jimmedari sir pe pad gayee - tau kamane bhi lagega.
M: Hain !! to kya abhi kuchh nahin kamata?
AB: Nahin kamata hai kamata hai - par ab roz roz to koi jeetta nahin hai na - kabhi haar bhi jaata hai bechara.
M: Haar jata hai?
AB: Haan mausi ab ye kambakht jua cheez hi iasi hai ab main kya kahun..
M: Hai raam to kya jua khelta hai?
AB: Are nahin mause Verru to bohot hi shareef aur nek insaan hai par ek baar sharaab pee li na - phir kahan achhe bure ka hosh rehta hai - hath pakad kar baitha liya kisine - ab isme bechare Veeru ka kya dosh?
M: Sahi kehta ho beta - juari woh sharabi woh - par isme uske koi dosh nahin.
AB: Mausi aap mere dost ko galat samajh rahi hain - wo is kism ka insaan nahin hai. Ek baar basanti se uski shadi ho jaane dijiye phir wo us gaane wali ke ghar jaana band kar dega - bas- sharaab apne aap chhoot jayegi.
M: Bas ek yahi kamee reh gayee thee - kisi gaane wali ke yahan bhi aana jaana hai?
AB: Are to isme kaun si buri baat hai mausi? Gaane waliyon ke yahan to raja, maharaja aur oonche oonche logon ka aana jaana hota hai.
M: To beta ye bhi bata do ke tumhare ye gunwaan dost kis khandaan ke hain?
AB: Bas mausi Khandaan ka pata chalte hi hum aapko khabar de denge.
M: Ek baat ki daad deti hoon beta - bhale 100 buraiyan hain tumhare dost mein magar tumhare moonh se uske liye achhaiyan hi niqalti hain.
AB: Ab kya kahun mauis mera to dil hi kuchh aisa hai. Tau main ye rishta pakka samjhoon?
