Film: Jolly LLB
Year of release: 2013
Spoken by: Jagdish Tyagi aka Jolly (Arshad Warsi)
Spoken to: Justice Sunderlal Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla)
Dialogue writer: Subhash Kapoor
In the climax of this movie, during his summation, defence lawyer Rajpal (Boman Irani) concludes with the line:
"aur rahi baat un chhah..paanch marne vaalon ki, my deepest sympathies, kya karen...lekin agar aap footpath par soyenge ...to marne ka risk to rahega hi. That's the harsh reality. The rest, your honour, I leave it to your wisdom, and your fine sense of judgment. Thank you.
As Jolly (Arshad Warsi) sums up his argument, he rebuts this last line with a question:
"footpath par soyenge to marne ka risk to hai. bilkul sahi hai janaab. Lekin main Rajpal saab se poochnaa chahta hoon ke...aap se poochhna chaahoongaa...ye log jo footpath pe sote hain...kaun hain ye log...kahaan se aate hain yeh..inke paas na rahne ko ghar hai, na rozgar hai, na paisa hai, phir kyon chale aate hain yeh hamaare, khoobsoorat shaharon ki khoobsoorati pe baTTaa lagaane."
"ये लोग जो फुटपाथ पे सोते हैं, कौन हैं ये लोग, कहाँ से आते हैं ये?"
This dialogue intially was intended to make people think about the reasons why people migrate to cities and sleep on footpaths. However these days it has become proverbial when you want to refer to someone who just doesn't deserve his or her job. So if you see the Indian cricket or hockey team playing badly, you can use this. If there are members of your staff who are not passing muster workwise, you can use this line. The original intended emotion has now got mutated. Probably because Arshad Warsi is a great comedic actor and people could not associate a serious line with him.
I must confess the line that I had initially chosen was Boman Irani's line:
"lekin agar aap footpath par soyenge ...to marne ka risk to rahega hi"
But I fell prey to populism and went with this line instead. Both lines are great though. And very usable in day to day life.
Counter 1 hr 57 minutes in the movie.
