cockroach kitnii bhi body banaa le, jeet...hameshaa...

 Film : Sector 36

Year of release : 2024

Spoken by : SI Ram Charan Pandey (Deepak Dobriyal)

Spoken to : Sabyasachi Mandal (Arindol Bagchi)

Dialogue writer : Bodhayan Roychowdhury

 

This Netflix film was based on the 2006 Nithari killings. It is a very gory and gruesome movie. If you are even slightly squeamish, avoid this film. The film begins by showing the villain and serial killer Prem (Vikrant Massey) watching KBC and showing us that he knows the answers to questions. Then he takes a call from his pregnant wife and talks very lovingly with her. Right after the call he picks up a couple of choppers and knives and goes on to hack a 15 year old school girl’s body. The film immediately segues into showing his adversary, Sub Inspector Ram Charan Pandey (Deepak Dobriyal) who starts with a 3 minute monologue. In the monologue he establishes that the Newtonian 3^rd law of motion is the greatest principle of the world. A principle that is universally applicable. He says that in the Indian context, this principle takes the quaint form of what is called the system. He says you cannot fight the system, the system always wins. He ends the monologue by telling a distraught Sabyasachi Mandal (who’s daughter is missing) that

“cockroach kitnii bhi body banaa le, jeet…hameshaa…juute ki hoti hai”

“काक्रोच कितनी भी बॉडी बना ले, जीत, हमेशा, जूते की होती है”

 

He is thus established as a corrupt and cynical police officer who believes it is futile to do the right thing. Later in the story, he himself becomes a warrior against the system, when the criminal hits too close to home.

 

It’s a good film. But don’t watch if you are squeamish.

Film : The Blue Umbrella
Year of release : 2005
Spoken by : Robot owner (Deepak Dobriyal)
Spoken to : Nandkishore Khatri (Pankaj Kapoor)
Dialogue writer : Vishal Bharadwaj

This is a beautiful line from the movie The Blue Umbrella (2005). Vishal Bharadwaj has two pets – one is Shakespeare and the other are kids. So in between his Macbethian an Othellesque outings he does the Makdees and the Blue Umbrellas. The film is pretty much a simple film. I would say a tele serial with a few songs woven in. But I found this sparkling line in that film

It is actually the opening scene of the film, where NandKishore Khatri (Pankaj Kapoor) – the proprietor of Khatri Tea Stall – is shown listening to a recorded fortune telling session. The person running the contraption - the robot owner (Deepak Dobriyal) tells Nandkishore (as he does not understand a word of English) that the tape is saying that he is going to be as rich as Bill Gates – a billionaire. He says

अरे खज़ाना मिलने वाला है तुझे
Nandkishore says

ये बोला इसने?
The Robot owner retorts

हां और वो भी अंग्रेज़ी में. अंग्रेज़ी में भी झूठ बोलता है कोई?
Fantastic line. Given that the greatest lies in this country are probably crafted and delivered in English. But that is more due to the fact that it has become the language of commerce in India and veracity and commerce don’t go hand in hand. Nonetheless, whenever you want to convince someone – deliver your pitch in English and add for effect
