Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra are the epitome of bromance when it comes to heroes playing best friends on screen. Sholay is one of the most iconic films of Indian Cinema, which again gave us Jai and Veeru. When Dharam Paaji and Bachchan Saab broke records lip-synching Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Todenge (crooned by Manna Dey and Kishore Kumar). Fans were heartbroken when they saw Big B attending his on-screen best friend’s last rites today.

As the He-Man of Bollywood passed away at 89, he has given us countless reasons and films to remember him. One such iconic film would be Sholay indeed. Jai and Veeru’s jodi is not only the most loved on-screen pair, but it also holds the longest record at the box office for Indian Cinema. Scroll to read this unique record!

Jai & Veeru’s 19-Year Box Office Record!

Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra held the longest box office record with Sholay, which was released in 1975. The film, helmed by Ramesh Sippy, earned a net collection of 15 crore in India! After that, no Indian film could touch this mark at the box office till 1994! It was in 1994 that Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit’s Hum Aapke Hain Koun earned 72 crore in its lifetime, breaking Sholay’s record of being the highest-grossing Indian film from 1975 to 1994! Yes, 19 long years!

Dharmendra Suggested Amitabh Bachchan’s Name!

However, what if we tell you that it was he who insisted that director Ramesh Sippy cast Amitabh Bachchan in the film? Yes, for the unversed, Sholay‘s Jai was to be played by Shatrughan Sinha; however, in a classic twist of tale, it was Amitabh Bachchan who landed the role on Dharmendra’s suggestions. In one of the interviews, earlier this year, the Pippa actor finally revealed the story behind Amitabh Bachchan’s casting for the film, where Dharam Ji was originally offered Gabbar Singh and Thakur both!

Ye Naya Ladka…Accha Kaam Karega!

In June 2025, during a conversation with ANI, Dharam Ji said, “It has already been mentioned. Yes, I recommended him. Mai to kehta nahi Maine role dilaya. Ye mujhe milne aate the Amitabh Sahab. He used to sit next to me. To Maine Ramesh Sippy ji ko kaha yeh naya ladka hai, usko awaaz se to lagta hai bahut acha kaam karega.unki jo andar se chah thi…jo khud se pyar karne ki khoobsurati thi vo achi lagi..maine kaha inko lelo.”

Tiffany Haddish Ties The Knot… With Herself: That’s the Longest Relationship You’re Going To Have’

At the end of the day, self-love really is what matters most!??

In a surprising move, actress and comedian #TiffanyHaddish revealed she married herself during a girls’ trip across #Africa. “I thought to do that because first, I wanted to have a little party. Second, I also wanted to hold myself accountable for some things,” she told The Post.

The self-ceremony appears in her upcoming docuseries Tiffany Haddish Goes Off, out Nov. 13 on #Peacock. Haddish continued: “If you’re going to keep any promises in life, the promises you make to yourself are the main ones you need to be keeping. That’s the longest relationship you’re going to have … So, f*ck it, I’m marrying me.”

Reflecting on the impact of her decision, #Haddish joked about her dating life: “I’m getting more dates now, when I tell [men] I’m married.” She added, “Sometimes I wear my wedding ring and people are like, ‘Oh, my God, where did you get that?’ I’m like ‘Africa. I’m married!’”

Would you ever marry yourself to celebrate a fresh start?

It’s the most popular show of them all on Nexflix, and now KPop Demon Hunters can claim to be most popular album in Australia for 2025.

The soundtrack for KPop Demon Hunters clocks up seven consecutive weeks at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart, for the longest reign by any album for the year.

Over on the ARIA Singles Chart, soundtrack hit “Golden” retains top spot for the fifth straight a row, and is one of KPop Demon Hunters songs in the top 10.

Earlier this week, Netflix announced the animated action/musical had accumulated more than 236 million views since its June 20 premiere, good enough to beat Red Notice and into first place on the streaming platform’s all-time rankings for English-language films.

Laufey leads the new arrivals on the ARIA Chart, published Friday, Aug. 29, as A Matter of Time clocks up a No. 2 debut, the classical-adjacent artist’s career best in Australia.

Deftones complete the podium with Private Music, their 10th studio album. It’s new at No. 3 for the alternative rock heavyweight’s sixth ARIA Top 20 appearance.

Meanwhile, Royel Otis enjoy a second consecutive top 10, as Hickey, their sophomore collection, opens its account at No. 5. That’s a career best for the Sydney duo of Royel Maddell and Otis Pavlovic, after the No. 10 peak for 2024’s Pratts & Pain, winner of four ARIA Awards, including best rock album and best group.

Hickey houses “Moody,” which last month reached No. 1 on Adult Alternative Airplay chart, their first leader on a Billboard chart. “Moody” bested the No. 2 peak of the indie-rock act’s cover of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor,” which hit No. 2 on Alternative Airplay in July 2024.

Another act with an Australian connection, Stray Kids debut at No. 4 with Karma, for the K-pop boyband’s sixth top 10 appearance in Australia. That tally includes Maxident (No. 4 in 2022), 5-Star (No. 2 in 2023), Rock-Star (No. 2 in 2023), Ate (No. 2 in 2024) and Hop (No. 4 in 2024). Band mate Felix was born and raised in Sydney, while Bang Chan was born in Seoul but also grew up in Sydney.

US country artist Lainey Wilson lassos a new chart peak with Whirlwind, which enters at No. 8 following the release of a deluxe edition. Whirlwind reached No. 19 in August 2024.

Tyler, The Creator’s CHERRY BOMB blows up for a new chart peak of No. 10, eclipsing its best of No. 13 in 2015. Tyler is currently working his way across Australia and New Zealand on the domestic leg of his Chromakopia tour, produced by Frontier Touring, and on Friday opened the flagship GOLF store in Sydney.

Further down the list, British indie rock outfit Wolf Alice snag a No. 14 debut with Clearing, their fourth album, while Bleak Squad, the Melbourne-based “super group” comprising Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque), Mick Harvey (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, The Birthday Party), Adalita (Magic Dirt) and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting) are new at No. 40 with Strange Love, their first album.

Finally, the top debut on the ARIA Singles Chart belongs to Doja Cat, whose “Jealous Type” leaps in at No. 28. “Jealous Type” is Doja’s 16th top 50 hit as a solo or featured artist on the ARIA Chart, including “Paint The Town Red,” which logged 10 weeks at No. 1 in 2023.
