Since the heartbreaking demise of our beloved Dharam Paaji (Viru), an irreplaceable legend whose charm, warmth, and heroism defined an era, we find ourselves united by nostalgia, admiration, and immeasurable respect. His passing on 24.11.25 has left a void in millions of hearts, yet it has also reminded us of the extraordinary legacy he built through films that continue to inspire generations. Among those timeless classics stands the iconic masterpiece “SHOLAY”, a film that not only redefined Indian cinema but also cemented the unforgettable bond of Jai–Viru in the minds of audiences across the world. As this cinematic milestone completes 50 glorious years, it is only fitting that fans from every corner come together to honour the film, its characters, and the legends who made it eternal.
With the monumental re-release of SHOLAY scheduled for 12.12.25 across India, we extend an open-hearted invitation to all the fans of Dharam Paaji (Viru) and Amitji (Jai) to unite as one family and celebrate this golden moment in Bollywood history. This is not just a movie re-release — it is an emotional gathering of love, respect, and tribute for the legends who shaped our cinematic memories. It is a chance for old fans to relive the magic and for new generations to witness the film that defined friendship, courage, and timeless storytelling.
The All Bengal Amitabh Bachchan Fans Association ( ) is proud to join hands with all admirers of the Sholay legacy to create a heartfelt celebration worthy of its historic milestone. Together, we aim to honour Dharam Paaji’s memory, celebrate Amitji’s unparalleled contribution, and revive the magic of a film that continues to stand tall even after five decades. As fans, we may belong to different groups, different states, and different communities — but moments like these remind us that our love for cinema binds us stronger than anything else.
Let us gather with unity, respect, and warmth. Let us celebrate the friendship of Jai and Viru, the artistry of the cast and crew, and the impact that SHOLAY has left on Indian cinema. And above all, let us offer a small yet meaningful tribute to Dharam Paaji — a star who continues to shine brightly in our hearts. On 12.12.25, let the theatres echo with cheer, applause, and unforgettable memories, as we relive the magic of a film that will always remain immortal.
