Long after 'The End,' we remember what they said and how they said it. The beauty of Bollywood dialogues is that you can use them in day-to-day life and make any situation funnier or more dramatic, depending. Bollywood buffs (and they comprise a large chunk of India) use lines like "
tussi ja rahe ho" and "
jaa Simran ja..." in daily conversation. When things go well, we'll say "
all is well." When they don't, we say "
Pushpa, I hate tears" to a despondent friend.
It's also quite amazing how movies like
Deewar or
Sholay endure across generations, quoted by many who were born decades after the Angry Young Man first made his presence felt.
Here's to Bollywood for giving us a dialogue for every occasion. These are some of our favourite lines from Hindi films. Tell us if your favourite ones made it to this list.
