The Mind-Boggling Success of Sholay: Does the Reason lie in the Rasa theory?

The film Sholay completes 50 years on August 15. It remains the film watched by the largest number of people ever, and its unmatched popular appeal continues to endure.

This talk explores the enduring popularity of Sholay through the lens of Rasa theory, suggesting that its lasting appeal lies in the rare presence of all nine rasas—the full spectrum of emotions. It is led by veteran screenwriter and teacher Anjum Rajabali, known for films like Drohkaal, Ghulam, The Legend of Bhagat Singh, and Raajneeti. He is also recognised for his leadership and advocacy for the rights of Indian screenwriters as a senior activist of the Screenwriters Association, India.
