Ram Balram (राम बलराम) is a 1980 Hindi action film directed by Vijay Anand. It starred Dharmendra as "Ram" and Amitabh Bachchan as "Balram". Supporting cast included Zeenat Aman and Rekha. Ajit, Amjad Khan and Prem Chopra were the villains in the film. The film marked the third time in which Bollywood eternal superstars (Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra) came together after their previous successful ventures in Chupke Chupke and Sholay. The movie had an awesome initial opening, to thunderous responses all over India with cinema houses packed full. However, proceeds from the movie started to drop by the 4th week and it then went on to surface as the third highest-grossing film of the year earning a "Hit" at the box office. It was termed disappointing since at that time, films of Dharmendra and Amitabh were expected to earn more, who were already the most popular stars at the time. However, some box office analysts rate it as a "Superhit" when taking into consideration its net proceeds.

When first released,  Sholay  received negative critical reviews and a tepid commercial response, but favourable word-of-mouth publicity helped it to become a box office success. It broke records for continuous showings in many theatres across India, and ran for more than five years at Mumbai's Minerva theatre.

The combined sales of the original soundtrack, scored by <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._D._Burman">R. D. Burman</a>, and the dialogues (released separately), set new sales records.

PlotIn the small village of Ramgarh, the retired policeman <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thakur_(Indian_title)">Thakur</a> Baldev Singh (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanjeev_Kumar">Sanjeev Kumar</a>) summons a pair of small-time thieves that he had once arrested. Thakur feels that the duo—Veeru (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharmendra">Dharmendra</a>) and Jai (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amitabh_Bachchan">Amitabh Bachchan</a>)—would be ideal to help him capture Gabbar Singh (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amjad_Khan_(actor)">Amjad Khan</a>), a <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacoity">dacoit</a> wanted by the authorities for a ₹ 50,000 reward. Thakur tells them to surrender Gabbar to him, alive, for an additional ₹ 20,000 reward.The two thieves thwart the dacoits sent by Gabbar to extort the villagers. Soon afterwards, Gabbar and his goons attack Ramgarh during the festival of <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi">Holi</a>. In a tough battle, Veeru and Jai are cornered. Thakur, although he has a gun within his reach, does not help them. Veeru and Jai fight back and the bandits flee. The two are, however, upset at Thakur's inaction, and consider leaving the village. Thakur explains that Gabbar had killed nearly all of his family members, and cut off both his arms a few years earlier, which is why he could not use the gun. He had concealed the dismemberment by always wearing a <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawl">shawl</a>.Living in Ramgarh, the jovial Veeru and cynical Jai find themselves growing fond of the villagers. Veeru is attracted to Basanti (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hema_Malini">Hema Malini</a>), a feisty, talkative young woman who makes her living by driving a horse-cart. Jai is drawn to Radha (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaya_Bhaduri">Jaya Bhaduri</a>), Thakur's reclusive, widowed daughter-in-law, who subtly returns his affections.Skirmishes between Gabbar's gang and Jai-Veeru finally result in the capture of Veeru and Basanti by the dacoits. Jai attacks the gang, and the three are able to flee Gabbar's hideout with dacoits in pursuit. Fighting from behind a rock, Jai and Veeru nearly run out of ammunition. Veeru, unaware that Jai was wounded in the gunfight, is forced to leave for more ammunition. Meanwhile, Jai, who is continuing the gunfight singlehandedly, decides to sacrifice himself by using his last bullet to ignite dynamite sticks on a bridge from close range.Veeru returns, and Jai dies in his arms. Enraged, Veeru attacks Gabbar's den and catches the dacoit. Veeru nearly beats Gabbar to death when Thakur appears and reminds Veeru of the promise to hand over Gabbar alive. Thakur uses his spike-soled shoes to severely injure Gabbar and destroy his hands. The police then arrive and arrest Gabbar. After Jai's funeral, Veeru leaves Ramgarh and finds Basanti waiting for him on the train. Radha is left alone again.

The songs used in the film, and released on the original soundtrack are listed below. Following that is a list of unused tracks and dialogues which were released later on an updated soundtrack.The song "Mehbooba Mehbooba" was sung by its composer, R. D. Burman, who received his sole <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmfare_Award_for_Best_Male_Playback_Singer#1970s">Filmfare Award nomination for playback singing</a> for his effort.

"Mehbooba Mehbooba" has been extensively anthologised, remixed, and recreated.

"Koi Haseena" was listed at No. 30 in 1975, and No. 20 in 1976. "Yeh Dosti" was listed at No. 9 in 1976. Despite the soundtrack's success, at the time, the songs from Sholay attracted less attention than the film's dialogue—a rarity for Bollywood. The producers were thus prompted to release records with only dialogue. Taken together, the album sales totalled an unprecedented 500,000 units, and became one of the top selling Bollywood soundtracks of the 1970s.Music critic Oli Marlow reviewed the soundtrack in 2013, calling it a unique fusion of religious, folk, and classical music, with influences from around the world. He also commented on the sound design of the film, calling it psychedelic, and saying that there was "a lot of incredible incidental music" in the film that was not included in the soundtrack releases. In a 1999 paper submitted to London's Symposium on Sound in Cinema, film critic Shoma A. Chatterji said, "Sholay offers a model lesson on how sound can be used to signify the terror a character evokes. Sholay is also exemplary in its use of soundmatching to jump cut to a different scene and time, without breaking the continuity of the narrative, yet, intensifying the drama."

3D re-releaseFilmmaker Ketan Mehta's company Maya Digital was responsible for converting  Sholay into the  <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopic_3D">3D</a>  format.  Mehta was approached by G. P. Sippy's grandson, Sasha Sippy, about the project in 2010. In March 2012, Shaan Uttam Singh, the grandson of producer G. P. Sippy, said that he would sponsor a conversion of the film to 3D, and release it in late 2012; this was later postponed to late 2013, and eventually finalised for 3 January 2014. It took ₹250 million (US$3.9 million) to convert Sholay to 3D.Under the leadership of computer animator Frank Foster, 350 people worked to convert the film into the digital 3D format, for which every scene had to be individually <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_preservation">restored</a>, colour-corrected and re-composited in 3D to match the depth. New set-pieces, particularly those suited to the new format were also included, such as digital logs which scatter in the direction of the camera during the first half of the film when the train collides with them, the gunshot scene which frees Jai and Veeru from their handcuffs, and <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panorama">panoramic</a> views of Gabbar's hideout in the caves.The theatrical trailer and release date were unveiled by the original script-writers Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar. The two original leads, Bachchan and Dharmendra, were also involved in promoting the re-release. The film was released in 1,000 screens in India, and additional screens overseas. It earned approximately ₹100 million (US$1.6 million) during its re-release, not enough to recover its conversion cost.
