Sholay: The Final Cut recently thrilled audiences with a theatrical re-release. After celebrating its 50th anniversary in August, the iconic 1975 classic returned to cinemas on December 12, rekindling nostalgia for fans. As the legendary action thriller lit up the big screen once again, social media was flooded with heartfelt reactions from viewers reliving the magic.

Sholay was fully restored to a 4K print and re-released alongside its once-censored climax. Five decades ago, the villain Gabbar Singh (played by Amjad Khan) was ultimately arrested by the police to avoid the original violent ending. But in the original uncensored climax, Thakur Baldev Singh (portrayed by Sanjeev Kumar) was meant to kill him by kicking him onto a nail.
