 The role of Gabbar Singh was so deep-rooted in people's mind those days that Amjad Khan was known for the rest of his life by this role alone and wherever he went he had to speak some dialogues from the film to amuse the public because the dialogues are very popular among the audiences of Indian cinema.The BBC have compared the impact of Gabbar Singh on Bollywood to the impact that Darth Vader later had on Hollywood.According to Anupama Chopra, "He’s like Darth Vader in "Star Wars", pure evil, utterly terrifying and a cool baddie”.
