Rana qarz aur farz donon ko...ek hi nazar se nibhaataa hai

Film : Marte Dam Tak

Year of release : 1987

Spoken by : Rana (Raaj Kumar)

Spoken to : Jyoti Dayal (Farha Naaz)

Dialogue writer : K K Singh

Rana wants to kidnap his rival gang lord DK's brother Shakti Kapoor. He decides to use the honeytrap for this, since Shakti is fond of beautiful women. Jai (Govinda) suggests that his girl friend Jyoti be used for this purpose (what a cad!). Rana agrees, though with some reservations.

Once the job is done, Rana turns to Jyoti and says,

"ab hum...tumhaare qarzdaar hai.n laDkii. aur yaad rahe... Rana qarz aur farz donon ko...ek hi nazar se nibhaataa hai".
"अब हम...तुम्हारे क़र्ज़दार हैं लड़की. और याद रहे... राणा क़र्ज़ और फ़र्ज़ दोनों को...एक ही नज़र से निभाता है."

Wish Indian industrialists learn something from Rana!

Rana ki shatranj ka ghoRaa, aRhaai chaal nahii.n chaltaa, seedhe raajaa ko maartaa hai

Film : Marte Dam Tak

Year of release : 1987

Spoken by : Rana (Raaj Kumar)

Spoken to : Gang members (Unknown)

Dialogue writer : K K Singh

DK (Om Puri) diverts a consignment of contraband that belongs to Rana. When Rana gets to hear the news, he grows angry and says,

"shaayad... DK jaantaa nahiin ki Rana ki shatranj ka ghoRaa, aRhaai chaal nahii.n chaltaa, seedhe raajaa ko maartaa hai"

"शायद...डी के जानता  नहीं कि राणा की शतरंज का घोड़ा, अढ़ाई चाल नहीं चलता, सीधे राजा को मारता है"

This is one level higher than this action, described elsewhere on this blog. 

Seva, aadarsh, deshbhakti ki bhaavna ko...apne bachchon ko paDhaanaa, sirf paDhaana, sikhaanaa nahiin

Film : Marte Dam Tak

Year of release : 1987

Spoken by : DCP Lal (IfteKhar)

Spoken to : Rana or SI Rane (Raaj Kumar)

Dialogue writer : K K Singh

SI Rane (Raaj Kumar) wants to arrest PC Mathur (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) for his crimes. DCP Lal is trying to dissuade him from doing so, by telling him about the extent of Mathur's influence.

"Seva, aadarsh, deshbhakti ki bhaavna ko, kisi puraani band kitaab ki tarah...apni library mein sambhaal kar rakhnaa. Aur apne bachchon ko paDhaanaa, sirf paDhaana, sikhaanaa nahiin, varna unke bachche, daane daane ko mohtaaj ho jaayenge."
"सेवा, आदर्श, देशभक्ति की भावना को, किसी पुरानी बंद किताब की तरह... अपनी लाइब्रेरी में संभाल कर रखना. और अपने बच्चों को पढ़ाना, सिर्फ़ पढ़ाना, सिखाना नहीं. वर्ना उनके बच्चे, दाने दाने को मोहताज हो जायेंगे."

SI Rane of course gives a bombastic response, but I liked this line better. Iftekhar rarely plays a policeman in a negative shade. 

dada to is duniya men bas do hain. Ek ooparwaala... aur doosre ham.

Year of release : 1987

Spoken by : Rana (Raaj Kumar)

Spoken to : Govardhan Seth (Unknown)

Dialogue writer : K K Singh

There is a beautiful word in English called braggadocio. It means boastful or arrogant behaviour. Now the one actor who comes to your mind, the moment I explained the word will have to be Raaj Kumar. His dialogues oozed with braggadocio. And if you ever choose to do the same, do emulate his lines as well. A pipe in one hand and a resignation letter in your pocket are also necessary accoutrements for emulating Raaj Kumar (as he himself mentioned in the movie Surya). 

This is the opening scene of the movie, where the character of Rana is being established on screen. So he just steps into a court and looks at the judge and forces him to rescind his death sentence into acquittal (yes you read that right). Then he comes home and finds an old woman praising him to the skies for being the reason his daughter has now found a husband. Then another man with a crutch praises him to the skies and tells his son that Rana is the reason he was able to complete his B.Sc. Rana immediately arranges a job for him. That too is an interesting dialogue. But that's another story.

Then he is told that Govardhan Seth is waiting for him in the conference room. He goes and sits in the conference room.
"muaamlaa kyaa hai?"
"maamlaa to sirf pachchees laakh rupaye ka hai Rana Sahab, lekin jo aadmi hazm kar gaya hai, wo hai Sonu badmaash dada (Tej Sapru)"

"daadaa to is duniya men bas do hain. Ek ooparwaala... aur doosre ham. Bolo baat kyaa hai."

"दादा तो इस दुनिया में बस दो हैं. एक ऊपरवाला ...और दूसरे हम"

boTiyaa.n nochne waalaa geedaDh, galaa phaaDne se sher nahee.n ban jaataa

Film : Marte Dam Tak

Year of release : 1987

Spoken by : Rana (Raaj Kumar)

Spoken to : Daulat Kaarbaarii or DK (Om Puri)

Dialogue writer : K K Singh

I am always on the look out for Raj Kumar dialogues. The man bought some serious personality into his lines. This is a scene from one of his later and lesser known films.

DK's minion is on the line with Rana. Rana refuses to talk to him. He says,

"hum kutto.n se baat nahee.n karte"

DK snatches the receiver from his minion and roars (in typical Om Puri style)

"sher ki dahaaD to pahchaante ho naa Rana?"

Rana comes up with this riposte (in classic Raj Kumar style)

"DK boTiyaa.n nochne waalaa geedaDh, galaa phaaDne se sher nahee.n ban jaataa"
