I realised that though I use this line very often while discussing HR skills and competencies, I have not yet put it on my blog. So here goes...

This is the scene in which Govind makes up his mind to return to court and fight for Damini. Inspector Kadam (who is on the villain's payroll) tries to prove that the rape victim Urmi (Prajakta Kulkarni) has committed suicide. Govind drills holes in Kadam's theory. Kadam threatens him not to mess with the police. Govind wistfully says he knows how brave the police are. He says a bunch of them would gang up, then tie up an innocent man and bash him up. Rest of the dialogue in the original language

Govind: hey Kadam, tu kabhi chidiyaghar gayaa hai?

Kadam: Hain!

Govind: chidiyaghar...vahaan pinjre mein band sher par bachche bhi moongphaliyaa.n phenk ke maarte hain...vo aur baat hai...maidaan mein khule sher kaa saamnaa karoge, tumhaare mard hone ki Galatfahmi - duur ho jaayegi

चिड़ियाघर... वहां पिंजरे में बंद शेर पर बच्चे भी मूंगफलियाँ फेंक के मारते हैं...वो और बात है...मैदान में खुले शेर का सामना करोगे, तुम्हारे मर्द होने की ग़लतफ़हमी - दूर हो जायेगी. 

Kadam: Govind!!

Govind: chillaao mat. apni ye bhaari awaaz adaalat ke liye rakho. vahaan bahut jawaab dene hain..

This incidentally marks Sunny Deol's debut on my blog.
