aadmii to tum shareef ho sirF chaal chalan Kharaab hai

Film : Ek Thi Ladki 

Year of release : 1949

Spoken by : Inspector Hukoomat Rai (Unknown)

Spoken to : Sohan and Mohan (IS Johar and Majnu)

Dialogue writer : IS Johar 

The film is remembered today for the 'lara lappa' song by Lata. But if you want to see a very young IS Johar (possibly his first film), you must watch this. 

Two habitual jailbirds (like Jai and Viru but much more harmless) are released after one such prison term. On their way out, Inspector Hukumat Rai accosts the two jail birds. He asks them if they are going to mend their ways or not. The two say they have given up on bad deeds and would certainly mend their ways. The inspector remarks 

"bhai aadmii to tum shareef ho sirF chaal chalan Kharaab hai"

"भई आदमी तो तुम शरीफ़ हो, सिर्फ़ चाल चलन ख़राब है"

[Rough translation - You are honourable/noble people, it is your behaviour which is bad]

This is classic IS Johar humour (remember this guy invented the 'aaThvaa.n sur' in one movie). He has a way of paying backhanded compliments. This film was of course written by him. 

itnaa runway ho gayaa, ab take off karo

Film : Johny Mera Naam

Year of release : 1970

Spoken by : I S Johar (as Dooja Ram)

Spoken to : Unknown actor (Premnath's goons)

Dialogue writer : Vijay Anand

I S Johar plays a triple role in this film. Not a father, son, grandson kind of triple role. These are three brothers - Pahlaa Ram, Dooja Ram and Teeja Ram. Pehla Ram is a palmist. Dooja Ram is an Indian Airlines steward. In a case of mistaken identity, Moti (Pran) thinks that Dooja Ram is Teeja Ram - his bar man. When his drink takes a long time coming, Moti thinks Teeja  is pulling a fast one. His boss Bhupendra Singh (Premnath) sends his men to pick him up. When the goons are frog marching Dooja towards Moti, he asks them what they are doing. The goons think that he is pretending, but Dooja actually has no clue why he is being frog marched. Finally he gets exasperated and asks them

"arre, itna runway ho gayaa, ab take off karo. kyaa baat hai?"

"अरे, इतना रनवे हो गया, अब टेक ऑफ़ करो. क्या बात है? "
