Sholay shows the way to achieve! Hyderabad: Do pictures have an impact on the society? The answer is a definite yes. Dhamendra's scene atop the water tank in the film Sholay to force the villagers to give him Bansanti's hand in marriage is a smashing hit. That is not the end of the story. It is rather the beginning.
After that, the scene was enacted by many to vent their feeling or place their demands at multiple places and it has become a very convenient way to hog publicity and drive home their point what with news hungry television channels leaving no such opportunity.
From suspended home guards to jilted lovers, water tanks and cell towers have come like a blessing to register their protest.
