zulm kiyaa aapne, aapko ye khabar dheere dheere sunaani chaahiye thi

Film: Daag
Year of release: 1952
Spoken by: Unknown
Spoken to: (Leela Mishra) 

A couple of clerks from a lawyer's office land up at Jagat Narain's (Kanhaiyyalal) house to inform him of money that he had inherited from his Mausi (Maternal aunt). However, when they see the impoverished intended recipients of a large inheritance, the senior agent whispers to the junior agent:
"tum kya jaano ki kitnaa Khatraa hai ye sab bataane men...
raqam moTi hai aur yeh log chhoTe hain...
meraa matlab hai, bahut Gareeb hain. Achaanak itnaa paisaa mil jaane se maine logon ko marte bhi dekhaa hai, samjhe...hamen ye khabar dheere dheere sunaana chaahiye"

Then he proceeds to gently break the news to Jagat Narain and family. He asks Jagat, what he would do if he got...5000 Rs. Jagat says he would do a couple of things. The lawyer's agent then ups the ante and asks what he would do if he got Rs 10000? Jagat tries to fulfil a couple of more dreams  with the said amount. Then he is asked what he would do if the amount was Rs 15000. By now, Jagat and his family are quite delirious. 

So, when the agent asks
"20000 ke baare mein kyaa Khyaal hai aapkaa?"
Jagat i.e. Kanhaiyyalal says, 
"to bhaiyya, aadha main tumhe de dunga"
The lawyer's agent instantly collapses as soon as he hears the. Obviously he was the one who fell in the category of those 'small people' who collapse when they suddenly come into a lot of money!

The junior legal clerk chastises Kanhaiyyalal and says
"zulm kiyaa aapne, aapko ye Khabar dheere dheere sunaani chaahiye thi!"
"ज़ुल्म किया आपने, आपको ये ख़बर धीरे धीरे सुनानी चाहिए थी!"
Jagat's wife i.e. Leela Mishra asks "lekin sab rupaya hai kitnaa?"

The agent says "ek laakh"

And now the senior agent's prophecy comes true!

Leela Mishra faints!

mausi has left all her money to kanhaiyyalal

hotaa kyaa. are gaay ko bachhda hi to hotaa, koi bandar thodi ho jaataa

Film: Daag
Year of release: 1952
Spoken by: Lala Jagat Narayan (Kanhaiyya Lal)
Spoken to: Parvati or Paaro (Nimmi)
Dialogue writer: Rajinder Singh Bedi

Shankar (Dilip Kumar) helps Parvati with the delivery of their cow (when her brother Jagat was away). When Jagat returns he finds Shankar (whom he doesn't like too much) in his house and asks him what he is doing there. As Shankar responds, Jagat's sister Parvati comes to his rescue,
"aur bhaiyya, aaj ye bechara Shankar hamara haath na ba.nTaataa, to na jaane kyaa hotaa"

Jagat quickly assesses the situation and like all smart householders comes up with a statement that ensures that he will not have to pay too much money to the aide (Shankar). A great technique to lower the fees is the lower the value of the service. 

"Hain!...hotaa kyaa? Arre gaay ko bachhDaa hi to hotaa, koi bandar thodi ho jaataa?"
"हैं! ...होता क्या? अरे गाय को बछड़ा ही तो होता, कोई बन्दर थोड़ी हो जाता?"

then he goes on to offer some money to shankar

Ye bhi ek daur hai woh bhi ek daur thaa

Film : Daag
Year of release : 1973
Spoken by : Sunil Kohli (Rajesh Khanna)
Spoken to : Audience
Dialogue writer : Akhtar Ul Imaan (for the film) Sahir Ludhianvi (these lines)

One great facet of Rajesh Khanna was his beautifully modulated voice. Here is a beautiful piece recited by him in Daag, which he repeated often at Awards functions.

Aap, aap kya jaane mujhko samajhte.n hai.n kya?
Mai.n to kuchh bhi nahii.n.

आप, आप क्या जाने मुझको समझतें हैं क्या?
मैं तो कुछ भी नहीं

Is qadar pyaar itni baDi bheeD ka mai.n rakhoo.nga kahaa.n?
is qadar pyaar rakhne ke qaabil nahii.n

इस क़दर प्यार इतनी बडी भीड का मैं रखूंगा कहां
इस क़दर प्यार रखने के क़ाबिल नहीं

Mera dil meri jaa.n
mujhko itni mohabbat na do dosto
mujhko itni mohabbat na do dosto
Soch lo dosto
is qadar pyaar kaise sambhaloo.nga mai.n
Mai.n to kuchh bhi nahii.n
मेरा दिल मेरी जां
मुझको इतनी मोहब्बत न दो दोस्तो
मुझको इतनी मोहब्बत न दो दोस्तो
सोच लो दोस्तो
इस क़दर प्यार कैसे सम्भालूंगा मैं

Pyaar .. Pyaar ik shaKhs kaa bhi agar mil sake to baDii cheez hai zindagi ke liye
Aadmi ko magar ye bhi milta nahii.n... ye bhi milta nahii.n.
प्यार ...प्यार इक शख़्स का भी अगर मिल सके तो बडी चीज़ है ज़िन्दगी के लिए
आदमी को मगर ये भी मिलता नहीं...ये भी मिलता नहीं

Mujhko itni mohabbat milii aapse .. Mujhko itni mohabbat milii aapse .. ye mera haq nahii.n merii taqdeer hai
main zamaane ki nazro.n me.n kuchh bhi na tha .. main zamaane ki nazro.n main kuchh bhi na tha
meri aankho.n main ab tak woh tasveer hai.
मुझको इतनी मोहब्बत मिली आपसे...मुझको इतनी मोहब्बत मिली आपसे...ये मेरा हक़ नहीं मेरी तक़दीर है
मैं ज़माने की नज़रों में कुछ भी न था...मैं ज़माने की नज़रों में कुछ भी न था...
Is mohabbat ke badle, mai.n kya nazar doo.n
Mai.n to kuchh bhi nahii.n.
इस मोहब्बत के बदले, मैं क्या नज़र दूं
मैं तो कुछ भी नहीं

Izzate.n shohrate.n chahate.n ulfate.n
koi bhi cheez duniya me.n rahti nahii.n
aaj main hoo.n jahaa.n kal koi aur thaa .. aaj main hoo.n jahaa.n kal koi aur thaa
Ye bhi ek daur hai woh bhi ek daur tha

इज़्ज़तें शोहरतें चाहतें उल्फ़तें
कोई भी चीज़ दुनिया में रहती नहीं
आज मैं हूं जहां कल कोई और था...आज मैं हूं जहां कल कोई और था
ये भी एक दौर है वो भी एक दौर था

Aaj itni mohabbat na do dosto .. Aaj itni mohabbat na do dosto
ki mere kal ki Khatir na kuchh bhi rahe
Aaj ka pyar thoDa bacha kar rakho .. Aaj ka pyar thoDa bacha kar rakho
mere kal ke liye
Kal – kal jo gumnaam hai .. kal jo sunsaan hai .. kal jo anjaan hai ..kal jo veeran hai
आज इतनी मोहब्बत न दो दोस्तो...आज इतनी मोहब्बत न दो दोस्तो...
कि मेरे कल की ख़ातिर न कुछ भी रहे
आज का प्यार थोडा बचा कर रखो..आज का प्यार थोडा बचा कर रखो..
मेरे कल के लिये
कल -- कल जो गुमनाम है...कल जो सुनसान है...कल जो अंजान है...कल जो वीरान है

Mai.n to kuchh bhi nahii.n hoo.n .. Mai.n to kuchh bhi nahii.n
मैं तो कुछ भी नहीं हूं...मैं तो कुछ भी नहीं

Main der se marne waaloN meN hooN

Film : DaaG
Year of release : 1973
Spoken by : Diwan (Manmohan Krishna)
Spoken to : Sunil (Rajesh Khanna)
I love this line. It is an oblique reference to a rich man. Diwan is a heart patient who has an attack while travelling on a train with his daughter Chandni (Raakhi). Sunil helps them during the journey and Diwan is very grateful. He tells Sunil about Chandni's troubles - she has been cheated by a man and is now pregnant and unmarried. After helping them off the train, Sunil tries to console him and says
"aap achchhe ho jaayenge aapkaa ilaaj ho rahaa hai"
"आप अच्छे हो जायेंगे आपका इलाज हो रहा है"
Diwan says,
"Ilaaj vagairah sab bahaanaa hai, tareeqaa hai rupayaa kharch karne kaa. Jinke paas hotaa hai vo der se marte haiN aur jinke paas naheeN hotaa vo jaldii mar jaate haiN. MaiN der se marne waaloN meN hooN"
"इलाज वगैरह सब बहाना है, तरीक़ा है रुपया खर्च करने का. जिनके पास होता है वो देर से मरते हैं और जिनके पास नहीं होता वो जल्दी मर जाते हैं. मैं देर से मरने वालों में हूं."
Sometimes when I see our allopathic medicine system and the costs associated with even small things, I am reminded of this line. But I can safely say one thing. I am not rich.
मैं देर से मरने वालों में नहीं हूं.

Neech aadmii bhee vohee kaam karte haiN jo shareef karte haiN

Film : Daag
Year of release : 1973
Spoken by : Dheeraj Kapoor (Prem Chopra)
Spoken to : Sonia (Sharmila Tagore)
Dialogue writer : Akhtar Ul Iman

This lesser known film directed by the other and now very famous Chopra - Yash Chopra, is now remembered as the film which marked Kader Khan's debut. He features as a lawyer in a sneeze-and-you-will-miss-me role.
Sonia (Sharmila) and Sunil kohli (Rajesh Khanna) are newly weds who have come to Kulu where Sunil has landed a new job with Kapoor Industries (whose owners are Jagdish Kapoor i.e. Shivadasani and his son Dheeraj Kapoor i.e. Prem Chopra). They have been put up in Kapoor’s house. Dheeraj casts his evil eye on Sonia. He pretends he has come into her room to take out some cash from the safe. He then heaps a few bundles together in his arms and asks her to hold them for a moment. When she does that, he says
"Agar ye saare note aapko de diye jaayeN to kaisa rahegaa?"
"अगर ये सारे नोट आपको दे दिये जायें तो कैसा रहेगा?"
She suddenly understands his intentions and says
"nikal jaaiye mere kamre se"
Dheeraj advances threateningly towards her. Sonia says
"maine to aapko ek shareef aadmi samjhaa thaa, aap to bilkul neech nikle"
"मैने तो आपको एक शरीफ़ आदमी समझा था, आप तो बिलकुल नीच निकले"
He retorts with
"neech aadmi bhee vohee kaam karte haiN jo shareef karte haiN"
"नीच आदमी भी वोही काम करते हैं जो शरीफ़ करते हैं"
and moves on to molest her. You have to see the leer on his face when he says that. Bang on Mr Prem Chopra and so true.
