 SPOILER: In the original ending, the Thakur killed Gabbar. The  Indian Censor Board did not agree with this ending, saying that its  vigilante aspect undermined the rule of law and could adversely  influence naive young minds. So, a new ending was created that  showed the police running in at the last moment, arresting Gabbar,  and specifically telling the Thakur that only the law has the right  to punish criminals. The original ending was restored in the  204
