Big news for movie fans: Sholay, the legendary Indian film, is finally coming to North America!
To mark its 50th anniversary, a fully restored version will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in 2025 as part of their Special Presentations lineup.
Originally released in 1975 and often called a "Curry Western," Sholay has been a huge influence on Indian cinema.
