Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Khote Sikkay (transl. Fake Coins) is a 1974 Indian Hindi-language action-adventure film directed by Narendra Bedi, starring Feroz Khan and Danny Denzongpa as part of a gang hired by a villager to save his village from dacoits. The film also stars Rehana Sultan, Ranjeet, Leela Mishra, Paintal, Ajit, and Ranjeet in supporting roles. The lyrics of the music were penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri, and the music was given by R.D. Burman. It was inspired by the Western genre, complete with horses and ponchos. It has a similar plot to Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, as well as The Magnificent Seven. Feroz Khan's character is similar to the Man with No Name stock characters in Kurosawa's Yojimbo and Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy. The story of the film Sholay is said to be inspired by this film. Rajesh Khanna was offered the movie first, but he did not have the dates and thus Feroz Khan was signed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
