Sholay (1975) was removed from Top250
Like all previous Indian Movies !
shareThe strange thing is that Sholay is also not on here, while I'm quite sure it was on the list the weeks before and after New Year: http://www.imdb.com/seen/ls033314130/
Another thing I found is that, in spite of all the lamenting about Indian movies somehow 'dominating' IMDb, there are actually fewer than 50 Hindi feature films that have over 25,000 votes: http://www.imdb.com/search/title?at=0&languages=hi|1&title_type=feature&sort=num_votes
Movies are like art; sometimes a masterpiece, but most of the time just worthless crap.
No one is complaining about Indian movies "dominating" the Top 250. People are complaining about nationalism overriding quality. There are zero reasons that Sholay should be in the Top 250 other than, "Hey I'm Indian and I really liked this Indian movie so let me get 25,000 other Indians to vote for this Indian movie because it's Indian."
