“…Throughout the film, Gabbar's character has been successful in sustaining that sense of dread amidst the villagers on screen and the film viewers off-screen alike. "Sustainability, as we know, can be defined as an ability or capacity of something to be maintained or to sustain itself" (Mukherjee, 2017). Gabbar's character is nuanced yet consistent in its portrayal of unrestrained sadism and barbarism, even when he is in pain caused by the Thakur's spiked shoes.…”

This paper traces the portrayal of violence in cinema through the ages taking into consideration two films from two disparate countries and cultures-the Japanese Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa and its remake, the Indian blockbuster Sholay by Ramesh Sippy which was set in two different eras. This paper critiques the representation of violence in the two films and the reasons that led the films to become blockbuster hits. It takes into account the technical innovations used during the making and the resultant effect it had on the spectators. It also discusses the aspects which show that they are similar yet different from each other. Although Sholay has taken inspiration from Seven Samurai, its aggressive, dominant villain Gabbar is a well-rounded character and light has been thrown on his sadistic means. The samurai's Bushido code of combat has been discussed concerning Kambei and the other samurai and how they remain loyal to it until the very end.

Moreover, literary multilingualism tends to reflect the cultural and behavioral style in a given society (Mukherjee, 2017).…”

The article aims to study the structure of the literary problem in the formation of the local text substrate. The study uses the methodology of studying the language when it changes in time and space. The article explains the basics of the methodological support of the translation complex and the structure of its application in private studies of foreign cultures and communicants. The results of the study showed the possibility of interaction between the subjects of linguistic exchange and the dynamics of the translation and literary component. The novelty of the study is determined by the fact that the work defines methods that can be used not only by local researchers but also by foreign-speaking communicants. The research results can be used in practical activities to bridge the gap between understanding the local text in translation studies and its structuring in the local versions of individual authors.
