Apni life ekdum filmi hai !

The relationship between Bollywood movies and the Indian audience is simply mind-blowing. We and I speak for most of the masses…take Hindi movie industry for granted…as if it’s our “janm sidh aadhikar”. The Indian audience, I feel has alwaz been very emotional when it comes to Hindi movies. The movies we hate…never get to live another week at the box office and the movies we love, just keep going on and on and on…example Sholay, DDLJ, ‘Rangeela’ which brought Mumbaiya language into the limelight, etc.

The impact of Hindi movies on our daily lives is no new news. They in many cases, set new trends, fashion statements, music that we dance/cry/laugh to and not to forget amazing one liners that we use/hear in our day to day life.

Some of the popular Hindi movie dialogues, which are simply priceless, according to me -

‘Pushpa I hate tears’ - Rajesh Khanna in Amar Prem. This line and the movie gave him the Superstar Status. Though the dialogue was meant to be serious but today it is used in many movies to crack-up the audience.

‘Mogambo khush hua’- Amrish Puri in Mr. India. I simply love this movie.

‘Jaani ye chakoo hai, lag jaye toh khoon nikal aata hai’- Raaj Kumar in Waqt.

‘Kitne aadmi the?’- Amjad Khan in ‘Sholay’. The dialogues and the movie need no introduction, they are just too mast. Other famous dialogue from the ‘Hum angrezon ke zamaane ke jailor hai’ by Asrani.

‘Saara shehar mujhe LOIN ke naam se jaanta hai’- Ajit in Kalicharan. This movie also made names like ‘Rooberrt’ and ‘Moona’ and ‘Soona’ so famous, that when used people burst into laughter no matter what mood they are in. The movie also gave birth to millions of ‘Ajit’ jokes.

‘Baaalmmma, main ik nanha sa chota sa pyala sa bachcha hoon’ -Shakti Kapoor in Chaalbaaz. The combination of Shakti Kapoor is ‘kaccha’ with the ‘naada’ loosely hanging and this line..was ekdum chakhas. Also the scene where Kader Khan gives road directions to Shakti Kapoor and lands up mugging him, was fabulous.

‘Rishtey mein hum tuhmare baap lagte hai, naam hai Shahensha’- Amitabh Bachan in Shahensha. Though the movie was fully faltoo but Amitabh’s acting and this line made it run for many weeks at the box office. Amitabh is many ways is the epicenter of famous one liners with his amazing dialogue delivery and stance, for example ‘English is a veery phunny language’ in Namak Halal, ‘Mere paas paisa, gadi, bungla hai’ from Deewar, ‘Ye police station hai, tumhare baap ka ghar nahin’ in Zanjeer, etc.

‘Ki..Ki..Ki..Kiran’- Shahrukh Khan in Darr. He made stammering look cool. And he still does.

‘I am aaa Baaad Man’- Gulshan Grover in Raam Lakhan. The name till today is stuck with him, but I think it’s more to do with his personal life then just a movie line. BTW i thought Anupam Kher was simply hilarious in this movie.
