Sholay 3020

It’s the year 3020, GM and Chrysler have already gone bankrupt. Boeing has taken over big time, no one uses cars now, people use aeroplanes these days for visiting a nearby mall. Lets move to Peninsula High Security Prison located in Scotland. James and Vellu, two best friends, brilliant structural engineers, framed in a bank robbery, are sitting in their cells talking about how to escape. By the way this is the strictest prison in the world, no one has escaped alive from here. But James and Dave come up with a master plan. And since we don’t have enough time for the entire “Prison Break” story, lets skip it. They are out and come to India, the super power of the world.

To stay safe they go to Alibaug, a lesser known village in Madhya Pradesh. And while they are sitting in a hotel munching chole bhaturey, an apparently beggar like guy with no hands comes and sits beside them. The alleged handless beggar has someone for company as well. James takes out a rupee and offers the old man. The beggar shouts that abbey bhikari samjha hai kya, is area ka thakur hu main. James, realising his mistake apologises. The beggar is none other than Thakur baldev singh of Alibaug and his accomplice is Ramu kaka. Thakur tells the boys about how Robber Gobar Singh and his friends looted his family and killed his son. James n Vellu almost cry. But then they ask what do you want from us. Thakur says I want Gobar killed. Vellu laughs and says boss we are engineers and not bhadey ke tattu. Thakur smirks and says I know your credentials, make a perfect plan and execute it and I shall give you 20 million rupees (by the way 1 RS now equals 200 USD, so that’s one hell of an amount). James and Vellu discuss and decide lets do it. So thakur gives him his address and says a plane waiting outside will take you there.

James n Vellu step in the plane to find a beautiful girl as its pilot. Vellu, being a flirt sits besides her and talks rubbish all the while. James on the other hand is busy making some serious plans to outwit gobar. The gal’s name is Basaunty, a charming gal with no flying skills at all. Finally after listening to Basaunty for 2 hours non stop, Vellu faints. Thankfully, they are almost near Thakur’s residence. Vellu and James are allotted a small room in the big mansion of Thakur’s. They sit for days and nights to work on the plan. In the meantime, Thakur’s widow daughter in law, Jaya brings them chaas daily. Our James falls in love with the girl. Vellu too falls in love with Basaunty. Finally, being engineers they develop a superb plan and kill Gobar Singh and his fellow robbers. And both the heroes are married to their respective girls and live happily ever after.
