Amitabh Bachchan recently transported fans back in time with a deeply nostalgic blog post where he revealed a piece of cinematic history, an original ticket to the 1975 blockbuster Sholay priced at just Rs 20.
The superstar shared a photo of the ticket, carefully preserved over the decades, alongside images from his traditional Sunday meet-and-greet with admirers outside his residence in Mumbai.
The veteran actor expressed both amazement and a hint of amusement at the ticket’s original cost. He noted that Rs 20 was once enough to experience a film like Sholay on the big screen whereas today, the same amount might only buy a soft drink at a cinema hall. He questioned how prices had shifted so drastically over time and reflected on the irony of inflation in entertainment.
Sholay, directed by Ramesh Sippy, remains one of the most iconic films in Indian cinema. Its gripping narrative followed the journey of two small-time criminals — Veeru and Jai — who are hired by a retired police officer to capture the notorious bandit Gabbar Singh.
The film is celebrated not just for its storyline but for its unforgettable characters, powerful performances and quotable dialogues. For Amitabh Bachchan, that Rs 20 ticket is more than memorabilia, it’s a symbol of simpler times and the enduring legacy of a film that continues to live in the hearts of millions.
Those times would have been remarkable, what do you say?
