Gopaldas Parmanand Sippy 
      Indian filmmaker

born Sept. 14, 1914, Hyderabad, British India

died Dec. 25, 2007, Mumbai [Bombay], India
was responsible for producing Sholay (“Flames,” 1975), the most commercially successful Bollywood film ever released. Sholay, which was inspired by Hollywood's The Magnificent Seven (itself a version of Akira Kurosawa's Japanese film Shichinin no samurai [Seven Samurai]), was admired as Bollywood's first “curry western” and reportedly earned at least $60 million. Although Sholay was Sippy's most significant achievement, he produced or directed a score of other motion pictures, and in 2000 he was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the International Film Festival, Mumbai.
