"There has never been a more defining film on the Indian screen. Indian film history can be divided into Sholay BC and Sholay AD."
Shekhar Kapoor

Sholay, the book, takes the reader on the same roller-coaster of emotions as the movie did. The only difference being whilst I had come out of the theatre with a heavy heart, after finishing the book, I feld a sense of triumph. That's because above all Anupama Chopra's debut book is a story of conviction and determination and the success which comes out of both......Sholay is a must, must and must read for all who have seen the film and thought films like this can just happen.
Ram Gopal Varma, India Today

A quarter of a century after Sholay achieved the critical creative and commercial mass and surpassed myth to become an Indian classic in its own right, a curious and credible soul asked: Kitne Aadmi The? The answer came in reams of poignant words, dripping with authentic and exact detail shorn of gossip, draped in emotions that rival the range in the film itself, at least in scale if not grandeur.

An engrossing page-turner that chronicles a slice of film history and captures the determined vision of a producer and director to make the grandest adventure film ever.
