Book Reviews of Sholay: The Making of a Classic
Book Review: Entertaining & lavish account of the making of a great film
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is not very hefty as far as coffee table books go but it's lavishly decorated with tons of stills from the movie, including double-page spanning frames that give you the full widescreen perspective and reproductions of all the posters made. It also has stills of paintings done by several artistes on he theme of Sholay. Not surprisingly, most of them deal with Gabbar Singh.
As for the text, Anupama Chopra's prose is breezy...breezy enough to finish reading the book in one session, but still it's worth going back to several times, to feast upon the lovely artwork and relive the many entertaining anecdotes that pepper this account.
Definitely a great buy for afficionados of Hindi films.
