The Good, the Bad and the Sholay (2011)

This is Raghav’s journey: moving from the small Indian town of Ambala to the metropolis of Singapore. It is also a very personal retelling of the 1975 Bollywood classic, Sholay, with the exploits of its outlaws forming the backdrop of this insightful and funny coming-of-age story.

Travel with Raghav from his boyhood town with no traffic lights to the complexities of his university life in Singapore, then back again when he returns to India — a new India of cineplexes and fast food chains. In an ever changing environment, what stays untouched? Well, in the end, there’s always Sholay.
