dil bhale hee left me.n hotaa hai, magar uske faisle hamesha right hote hai.n

Film : The Dirty Picture

Year of release : 2011

Spoken by : Ramakant (Tushar Kapoor)

Spoken to : Reshma (Vidya Balan)

Dialogue writer : Rajat Aroraa

This was a crass and over hyped film. Vidya Balan's performance was predictable for the most part and puerile at times. Yet our country celebrates this as the victory of feminism and all that blah. I will hold back my rant and get down to the task on hand

The film swept all the award for best dialogues that year. However, the dialogues were crass at best. Yet there were some okay lines in the film. Since this blog is about lines that you can use in real life, this line might fit here. So here goes

Ramakant is a sensitive writer and the younger brother of the egomaniacal superstar Suryakant (superbly essayed by Naseer - the way he says "it's a curse" is superb). In an interaction with Reshma, Ramakant says

"dil bhale hee left me.n hotaa hai, magar uske faisle hamesha right hote hai.n"

"दिल भले ही लेफ़्ट में होता है, मगर उसके फ़ैसले हमेशा राइट होते हैं" 

Varnaa kyaa

A great line from the 1978 superhit Pati Patni aur Woh. I think this was the only comedy in the career of Baldev Raj Chopra (Yashraj Chopra's elder brother). He was more famous for his social films and thrillers. A standard tale (though uncommon at that time) of a husband, wife and the 'other' woman (the mistress), it also featured that very famous comedy song - ThanDe ThanDe paani se nahaanaa chaahiye".

The film starts around the time when Ranjeet Chaddha (Sanjeev Kumar) gets married to Sharda (Vidya Sinha). Ranjeet's friends tell him that in matters of the wife, the husband should always bat on the front foot and dominate her from the word go. They use a very quaint phrase for it - they call it "billii maarnaa" बिल्ली मारना.

Ranjeet takes their advice and constantly threatens Sharda. He tells her to do something quickly and ends the order with a very stentorian sounding

"varnaa" वर्ना

Whenever Sharda hears the 'varnaa' she completes the order on the double. However, one day when Ranjeet tells her that he has an early morning tour the next day and he wants hot water ready by 5 am. As is his wont. he adds the customary 'varnaa' in a threatening tone. Sharda loses her patience and turns around and asks Ranjeet

वर्ना क्या...?

varnaa kyaa...?

And a sheepish Ranjeet says

"वर्ना मै ThanDe paanee se hee nahaa लूंगा"

" varnaa maiN ThanDe paanee se hee nahaa loongaa"

So if you are being constantly bullied by someone - your boss, your spouse, your sibling - whoever. And you want to call his/her bluff, go ahead and say

"वर्ना क्या..."
