----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the villagers are happy, the three men return to Gabbar Singh and tell him what happened.
Character of Gabbar singh is introduced. This is a new location where Gabbar Singh and his gang is residing.
Gabbar asks them, how many men were there and gets upset to know that they were only two.
He expresses his disappointment that his men couldn't do anything and returned empty handed. He expresses how his 'position' in the village has shaken because of this incident. He tells the three men that they will have to be punished for whatever they have done. Gabbar kills the three men by a gun shot
The whole scene is very very gripping in terms of dialogues, the sound used for background score, they way he kills the three men - it unveils Gabbar's character and nature and shows how cruel and dangerous he is.
Next: The villagers are singing a song of colors as there is a festival of colors - Holi.
The song signifies that villagers are seeing some colors in their life as Veeru and Jay are there to fight with Gabbar Singh, who has exploited them forever.
The song ends and there is a chaos in the village. Gabar's gang attacks the villagers and start putting everything on fire firing guns all over. People run here and there frightened by this sudden attack.
This is the first reaction of Gabbar singh taking revenge for what the villagers did to him/his men.
Jay and Veeru start responding to the attackers. Thakur watches them while they are in action. Jay gets trapped by 5/6 men. Veeru tries to help him out. When all the bullets are finished in Veeru's gun, he asks for another gun laying at the feet of Thakur, but Thakur doesn't respond. Veeru is annoyed by this. Suddenly everyone hears gunshots. Gabbar has arrived!
Gabbar asks Jay and Veeru to beg for forgiveness. While Thakur and Veeru are restless, Jay walks ahead to touch Gabbar's feet and splashes color powder in Gabbar's eyes. This turns the situation around. Basanti comes forward with her horse cart to help Jay and Veeru and carries them to a safer place. They again start firing. Gabbar remains with no choice but to leave.
Gabbar comes with this overconfidence that the new two men (Jay and Veeru) will bend down to his feet. But to his surprise it doesn't happen. In this whole sequence Veeru and the viewers have this question in their mind that why Thakur did not lift the gun to help Veeru.
Veeru comes angrily towards Thakur and tells that they are no more interested in working for Thakur as he didn't even have courage to lift the gun to save their life. Thakur tells them the reason, why he didn't lift the gun. (Flashback)
Thakur narrates: Long back, when he was in police service, he chased and arrested Gabbar as he was coming to loot another village. Court gave him a punishment of 20 years in jail. Gabbar was furious and warned Thakur that this enmity will cost him a lot. And the day he will manage to get out of jail, Thakur will regret it. After handing over Gabbar to Jail, Thakur goes on leave and starts for his village.
Scene shifts to Thakur's house - where all the family members of Thakur are introduced. Radha and the servant leave for the temple. As others are carrying with their day to day routine, Gabbar arrives and shots everyone one by one, even the young lad.
Scene shifts to Thakur arriving on the railway station. He has bought gifts for everyone in the family. But as he arrives home, there is a huge crowd gathered and he sees all the dead bodies covered with the white cloth. Furious Thakur rides the horse and heads for Gabbar. Gabbar manages to tie him up and takes out all the anger, insult, revenge on Thakur. Gabbar cuts Thakur's both hands as a revenge. (Flashback ends)
Scene shifts to present: Jay and Veeru are speechless. Villagers are standstill. Thakur leaves.
This whole sequence tell a heart souring story of Thakur, his love for his family, his efforts to make villagers' life better, his honesty, his disability, his grief and his helplessness over the situation. It also more explores Gabbar's character of dangerous and cruel monster. The way scene builds up is very emotional and touching.
Police officer comes to the village to complete formalities and to keep the record of whatever happened. Villager tells him that thy didn't see anything as they shut the doors. Police officer tells him to sign. Thakur comes there meanwhile, and tells the officer that police will get gabbar sigh some day.
This scene shows how police force is involved in just formalities and not aware of what is going on in real sense, or doesn't want to be aware of. It also shows that Thakur knows he can not expect anything from police as they can not help him in any way.
Jay and Veeru return the given money to Thakur and say that they will work for Thakur; but they do not want money. Thakur again makes them promise that they will get Gabbar alive to Thakur.
After knowing the reality, the human spirit in Jay and Veeru and they decide against being compensated for this job of Thakur. Instead, they feel part of the village looking at this task as their responsibility to help Thakur and the villagers. It again establishes the good and human side of Jay and Veeru. It also conveys that, Jay and Veeru no more look at it as a task. They consider Thakur and his task as theirs. Now the involvement is personal, for others' benefit.
One can clearly see how the depth of the story, involvement of characters, involvement of viewers is building up.
