Driven by the immense global popularity of Sholay (1975), film scholars have often demarcated a separate sub-genre of Western films for India — Curry Western. The nomenclature maintains the practice of marking the regional roots of these sub-genres with food. Thus, Spaghetti Westerns for Italy, and Ramen Westerns for Asia. This naming pattern has now been acknowledged as regionalist and is usually avoided. Curry Westerns are better known as Dacoit Westerns, as they combine the conventions of Indian dacoit films such as Mother India (1957) and Gunga Jumna (1961) with those of Westerns.
