murdaa jannat jaaye yaa dozaKh, hame.n qabr khudaaii se matlab hai.

Film : Shaukeen
Year of release : 1982
Spoken by : Jagdish (Utpal Dutt)
Spoken to : Om Prakash Chaudhary (Ashok Kumar)
Dialogue writer : Shaanii (Based on Samaresh Basu's story)

The recently released movie The Shaukeens reminded me of a dialogue from the older version. The three frustrated old men decide to take a vacation. Their destination is not quite decided, though they feel they should go to Nasik. They hire a driver Ravi (Mithun) who senses their purposelessness and suggests they should go to Goa. Jagdish initially does not like the idea as he had his mind set on Nasik, but after clarifying a few things, he agrees with this great line. 

Jagdish : maalish vaalish kaa intizaam?
Ravi : are sab hoyenga saab. jo kuchh bhi mangtaa hai naa, apun ko bolna. Apun sab dengaa
Om Prakash (butts in) : kyo.n Jagdish
Jagdish : are murdaa jannat jaaye yaa dozaKh, hame.n qabr khudaaii se matlab hai. chalo goa. 

And then they go to Goa. The rest as they say, is history.
