Dhasu Dhamakedar Dialogues - The best dialogues from bollywood

Well so just yesterday was watching Andaz apna apna ...(for the 3rd time btw and still couldnt stop laughing) and got thinking wow this movie has amzing dialogues.. matlab ekdum jhakaaas! Then I got thinking boss is this the best dialogues in a hindi movie ever?? Par nahi after doing some research on the best dialogues I heard I felt some other movie deserved the numero uno status... presenting the best of the best ...till 2010 ofcourse. Bottoms up approach arre matlab dus se ek yaar...

10. DAMINI - " Jab yeh dhai kilo ka haath kissi pe padta hai na toh aadmi uth tha.... "
papaaaa dekho na papa meine kya delivery di hai papa..

9.SHAHENSHAH - " Rishtey mein toh hum tumhare baap lagte hai ... "
pranam amitabhji ...movie ka toh pata nahi par dialogue mein aap kabi nahi chukte

8. ANAND - " Babumoshai.... "
must watch movie...!

7. MR. INDIA - " Mogambo khush hua!"
the best villian after Gabbar!

6. DARR - " KKKKKKiron ... "
tussi gr8 ho shahrukhji

5. OM SHANTI OM - " Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost! "
another fillum with splendid dialogues

4. DEEWAR - " Mere paas ma hai "
this one is just for the recall effect ... never seen this movie ... dont even want too but this is definitely one of the most famous dialogues ...heard it atleast a million times

3. 3 IDIOTS - " Aal iz well "
all definitely became well for this film too... highest grosser in history of indian cinema

2. ANDAZ APNA APNA :-
" Kachcha khiladi hai..." ," Haath ko aaya muh na laga ", " Aila ... ooi ma."," Balki mein toh kehta hun aap toh purush hi nahi...", " Jhakaas." , "Very smart" ,"Galti se mistake ho gaya... "
iske liye ek seperate post kar sakte hai

1. SHOLAY :-
" Ab kya bataye mausi ji ....", " I dieing ... police coming ... mausi chakki piecing...", " Kitne aadmi the... "
yeh guess karne ke liye koi prize nahi milega ....one of the bestest movies hai ji

Yeh list bhi abhi baaki hai mere dost.... actually cant quite call this complete there are a few that didnt make the cut ... have to atleast mention them ....
-BAAZIGAR -" Haar ke jitne vaale ko hi baazigar kehte hai.... kya kehte hai?"
-this one goes to not a movie but apne GARAM DHARAMji for "Kutte kamine mein tera ...." -DON -"Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi...."
- "jaani……..ye bacho ke khelane ki cheez nahi hai,haath kat jaaye to khoon nikal aata hai."

-"Aati kya khandala ??"
Check these out on youtube as well.Ofcourse there are countless others which are mebbe not so famous or colloquial as the ones above but still brilliant. Aur ab bas taaliyan bajaoji taaliyan... arre bajao yaar... un mahan lekhako ke liye jinone yeh dialogue likhe!

United We Stand

Shot this on a delhi metro station during my short sojourn to Delhi in early May.


They say that a picture can speak a thousand words. This one however speaks only a few (literally :))... but packs more punch than a thousand.

Time To Celebrate?

Its a Goal!!!!!!!

So shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ho Hum....

3 idiots... (sigh)


I had gone in with very high expectations... first bcoz it was a aamir khan movie and then bcoz of the oh so awesome reviews it has garnered.Sadly I was left dissapointed mainly due to exaggerations and the unrealistic portrayal of life at a competitive engineering college which was described more aptly in Bhagat's book. I feel a movie should either be total timepass fun or totally serious.(Well they are just my thoughts and which means they are but obviously ryt) So it is certainly not a real life movie but a reel life movie.

Lets start with the good though. The songs ...especially AALL IS WELL song and the anthem used throughout the movie is reallly kool. Also the message it signifies is fantastic... to fuhget ur worries and believe tht all will be well. Apart from that Maddy comes across superbly as the geeky colleger.Aamir is charming as usual although his character I felt was a bit too talkative and too worldly wise for a college student! They changed the novel, Five point someone's script. Though comparing the final script of the movie to the actual novel, I think the novel wins. I dunno abt u, but I do prefer to hear stories more plausible in the real world. Also the movie does become kinda preaching with aamir going on abt doing wat u love in life. I mean tell a story ryt, let the audience make their own deductions. Its easier said than done actually, so many ppl do have to support a family and have to do something to earn a livelihood. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon or even into a middle class family where they might have the freedom to do what they love. It also depends on the parents so much, the encouragement they provide or the environment they child is subjected to. Well I could go on and on about this, but hey after living here for 22 years you tend to notice these things! Anyways all in all its just about worth a watch bcoz of the fun factor in the movie. I feel a younger star cast may have been better for the movie.

Chalo enough analysis... I am boring maself now (!) so I think I should stop. Oh I forgot to explain title of this thesis (ahum ahum) is Ho Hum ...(3 stars i had give it out of 5) its wat I felt abt the movie basically. Although I had expected the title to be more like WOW!
