Movies have been part of our life
since it includes and illustrates some elements which cause a change in every
human being. I am very sure most of us have their very favourite movie. It can
be either two or more than ten. But, there is always one that changed us in
some perspective which brought in a deep impact and make us to be compact.
Movies can be from any genres such as horror, mystery, comedy, thriller,
sci-fi, romance and so on. People watch movies based on their preferences on
certain elements which they do find it useful. Movies are been made all over
the world based on different culture and values. There is Hollywood, Bollywood
and so on. My favourite movie is ‘Sholay’ which was a blockbuster hit of
Bollywood film in the 70’s. The movie tells us the value of friendship, love
and life. In the small village of Ramgarh, the retired policeman summons a pair
of small-time thieves that he had once arrested. The policeman feels that the
duo thieves would be ideal to help him capture a dacoit wanted by the
authorities for a 50,000 as reward. The policeman tells them to surrender
dacoit to him, alive, for an additional 20,000 reward. The two thieves prevent
the dacoits sent by the leader to extort the villagers. Soon afterwards, the
dacoit’s leader and his goons attack Ramgarh, a village during the festival of
Holi. In a tough battle,the two thieves
are cornered. The policeman, although he has a gun within his reach,
does not help them. The two thieves fight back and the bandits flee. The two
are, however, upset at Thakur's inaction, and consider leaving the village. The
retired policeman explains that dacoit 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 shawl.
Living in Ramgarh, one the jovial thief and cynical as the other one find
themselves growing fond of the villagers. One of the thief is attracted to
‘Basanti’, a feisty, talkative young woman who makes her living by driving a
horse-cart. Another one is drawn to Radha, The policeman’s reclusive, widowed
daughter-in-law, who subtly returns his affections. Skirmishes between dacoit
gang and the two thieves finally result in the capture by the dacoits. Jai
attacks the gang, and the three are able to flee hideout with dacoits in
pursuit. Fighting from behind a rock, the thieves nearly run out of ammunition.
One of the thief was unaware that his friend was wounded in the gunfight, is
forced to leave for more ammunition. Meanwhile, the injured friend, 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. His
friend returned, and his injured friend dies in his arms. Enraged, his friend
attacks the dacoits and caught him. He nearly beats the dacoit to death when
the policeman appeared and reminded him of the promise to hand over the dacoit
alive. The policeman used his spike-soled shoes to severely injure the dacoit
and destroy his hands. The police force then arrived and arrested the dacoit.
After his friend’s funeral, the thief leaves Ramgarh and finds Basanti waiting
for him on the train. Radha is left alone again. This particular story gave me
some elements of values on friendship. Friends are our next brothers and
sisters. In any situation, there are the one next to us to feel us. In my
scenario of living, I have come across many things which made me to feel up and
down. My friends are always there for me to motivate me and balance my emotions
as well as made me to think twice and wise. The love for all plays a very vital
role whether friends, family or beloved. The love for everyone brings an identity
which lasts forever. Fight for rights is another thing to learn from this
movie. The movie portrayed the rights via developing a union. It’s true that
too many hands spoil a game but if there are too many ideas, it creates a great
fame. It is a great movie that shows loyalty towards friendship. I wish for
those who need to learn more about friendship will find this movie as a useful
resource.
