Amitabh Bachchan, on a recent episode of *Kaun Banega Crorepati* (KBC), recounts an international moment from *Sholay*’s legacy. He says a screening in Bologna, Italy drew around 2,000 local viewers who watched the restored film outdoors.
According to Bachchan’s account, the event runs from about 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., with the audience gathering in an open-air square and watching the movie late into the night. Both sources describe the screening as an example of the film’s continuing appeal beyond India and across generations.
The outlets focus on the same core details—Bologna as the location, the approximate audience size, and the late-night viewing hours—while differing only in wording. Times of India frames the story as highlighting *Sholay*’s global resonance during Bachchan’s TV appearance.
