aisa to aadmii life me.n do-ich time bhaagtaa hai

Film : Amar Akbar Anthony
Year of release : 1979
Spoken by : Anthony Gonsalves (Amitabh Bachchan)
Spoken to : Robert (Jeevan)
Dialogue writer : Kader Khan

This was one of my favourite Amitabh Bachchan films when I was a kid. I saw Deewar, Sholay, Trishul and Zanjeer much later!

Kishan Lal (Pran) has become a mafia don and smuggler after usurping the business of Robert (Jeevan). Robert falls upon bad days and becomes a coolie on Kishan's dock. While unloading 'sona', the two meet each other and have kind of a show down. Suddenly the police lead by Kamal Kapoor (Narang of Don) arrive and everyone runs for their lives. Robert escapes with a case of gold and a revolver. Anthony trips Robert while running and stylishly delivers this line

"aisaa to aadmii life me.n do-ich time bhaagtaa hai, olympic ka race ho ya police ka case ho. tum kaay me.n bhagtaa hai bhaai?"
"ऐसा तो आदमी लाइफ़ में दोइच टाइम भागता है, ओलिम्पिक का रेस हो या पुलीस का केस हो, तुम काय में भगता है भाई?"

This line was a favourite as a kid, along with the famous mirror scene.

Apun tum ko sirif do maaraa, pan solid maaraa

Film: Amar Akbar Anthony
Year of release: 1977
Spoken by: Anthony Gonsalves (Amitabh Bachchan)
Spoken to: Amar (Vinod Khanna)

This line appears before the one featured earlier - the 'solid aawaaz' one. Anthony is in the lock up and recouping from the bashing he has received from Inspector Amar. His confidence is shaken but he tries to salvage whatever of it he can by asking Amar,

"तुम अपुन को दस दस मारा अपुन तुम को सिरिफ़ दो मारा...पन सॉलिड मारा कि नहीं ...हैं? है कि नहीं? अरे हां बोल ना"

"tum apun ko das das maaraa – apun tum ko sirif do maaraa…pun solid maaraa kee naheen..hain? hai ki nahee…are haan bol naa…"

An exasperated Amar retorts with,

"शट अप विल यू. तुम्हारी यहां बक बक नहीं चलेगी"

"Shut up will you…tumhaaree yahaan bak bak nahee chalegee"

Sometimes, in a fight, the victor does not get all the accolades. A determined opponent who delivered two competitive blows could actually make his mark.

Are itnaa solid aawaaz aur kisee kaa ho saktaa hai kyaa

Film : Amar Akbar Anthony
Year of release : 1977
Spoken by : Anthony Gonsalves (Amitabh Bachchan)
Spoken to : Bharati (Nirupa Roy)

Amar (Vinod Khanna) goes to Anthony's area and arrests him. A bruised and battered Anthony is now in the lock up. The blind flower seller Bharati (who is actually their mother) walks in to give flowers to Amar. She is hailed by Anthony. She reacts with

arre, ye to Anthony kee aawaaz hai
अरे, ये तो ऍंटनी की आवाज़ है

Anthony responds with a classic

Then what, arre itnaa solid aawaaz aur kisee kaa ho saktaa hai kyaa.
अरे इतना सॉलिड आवाज़ और किसी का हो सकता है क्या
