    I have always rtaed Deewar as my personal favourite above Sholay. Sholay is all that it is reputed to be. But still, whewn it comes to watching a film, being rivetted by it, being moved by it, Deewar scores with me better. AS a matter of fact, I have watched Deewar countless tomes on the TV and DVD, but not Sholay. ( I have watched Sholay 3 times or so on the screen when it was released of course, but I have watched Dewar twice on big screen too.)
