Jai, Veeru, and Bollywood’s Most Famous Bike
Everyone knows the legendary friendship of Jai and Veeru from the classic Bollywood film ‘Sholay.’ But what if we told you their famous ride, the 1942 BSA WM20 bike, is still winning hearts? At the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), this iconic motorcycle is not just a festival display—it’s become a silent memorial to Dharmendra, the beloved actor who played Veeru.
A Ride Down Memory Lane
Film enthusiasts and fans alike flock to the festival just to take a closer look at the bike that carried two of Bollywood’s most iconic characters. The song “Yeh Dosti” still echoes in people’s minds as they snap pictures, their nostalgia fueled by memories of friendship, laughter, and adventure. The display is more than a movie prop; it’s a tribute to Dharmendra’s enduring legacy and the timelessness of ‘Sholay.’
Isn’t it amazing how an old motorcycle can rev up so many emotions? Who knew that in 2024, a 1942 bike would still attract more selfies than most movie stars? Bollywood truly knows how to keep its legends alive—sometimes on two wheels!
