So you'll have to excuse this viewer for not quite getting what the fuss is all about. Obviously this film has a huge following and is one of the most successful Indian movies ever. Overall, there is a solid Magnificent Seven feel and this is only a small step beneath that level of cinema. The main leads are charismatic and compelling. I like Basanti but I'm less taken with the Hitler-stached jailer. There is also the song and dance element. There are lots of action although sometimes they fall short in terms of staging. It definitely has elements of both and is able mix them well. This is a blending of Bollywood and a spaghetti western. Along the way, the boys befriend talkative village girl Basanti. He becomes severely wounded in the fight but the guys risk imprisonment to save his life after flipping a coin for the decision. Thakur releases them to help fight off the bandits.
While transporting them on a train, they are attacked by bandits. Two years earlier, Thakur had captured the two thieves. On a personal vendetta, retired policeman Thakur Baldev Singh recruits lifelong thieves Veeru and Jai to capture bandit leader Gabbar Singh.
