Round 4: Tossup 3

This character asks a question to which another character answers “full fifty thousand, sir,” which despite it being the other character’s only line in the film, made the actor Mac Mohan a celebrity. The scene introducing this character opens with a tracking shot of his boots as he walks over rocks while brandishing a spiked whip. This character’s repetition of the request “give me these arms” is followed by a cut to a man pictured for the first time without his cloak, revealing his severed arms. Among this character’s dialogues to have entered the vernacular is a question meaning “how many (*) men?” In that scene, this antagonist of a blockbuster masala movie plays a brutal game of Russian roulette on his henchmen and calls his sidekick with the phrase, “Arey-o Sambha!” For 10 points, what dacoit played by Amjad Khan is the antagonist of Sholay? ■END■
