You Hab My Attention

Finally, a reason to click on 'Publish Post' at good old Blogger. Courtesy Greatbong.

My Top 10 Hindi Movie lines

1) Abbe O guroor ke mitti se bani hui ghamand ki moorti!!!! - Charanon Ki Saugandh

(Prabhuji at his romantic best.)

2) Na goliyon ki bauchar se, na talwar ki dhaar se, bandha darta hai, to sirf Parwardigar se... - Tirangaa

(The mother of all 'entries'.)

3) Chhilegi chhilegi. Kyon, chhilegi na? - Maine Pyaar Kiya

(Cute. When it comes from Bhagyashree.)

4) Shekhar Gupta, kya aap Damini se pyaar karte hain? - Damini

(Cuter. Especially when it comes from Sunny.)

5) Sumri mein kumri - Rakhwala

(One of Shakti's lesser knowns.)

6) Abbe, agar tu Bijli hai, to main paamhhaus hoon... paamhhaus - Aag Se Khelenge

(That's 'pumphouse', the way Aannil 24 Kaaboor says it. Note: If you have seen this movie, please leave me a comment. I am sick of being the only one.)

7) Bhaaaktaaaawaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - Hum

(Cathartic bliss.)

8) Yaay loob loo tibiya... - Shikari

(That's 'I love You' in Russian. This is the Prabhuji-F C Mehra flick. Note: Again, If you have seen this movie.. etc etc)

9) Aila, Juhi Chawla! - Andaz Apna Apna

(A precursor to the innumerable one-liners that hit you every 30 seconds later on... picked this, purely cos it's kinda the first one out of the gate.)

10) Khoya to maine hai 'Deddy'. Aapne kya khoya? Asli pyaar,apnapannnnn, maine .... Bihari ke ghar mein paaya. Bi-hhh-aari. - Khudgarz

(Jeetu at his anguished best, on learning that 'Deddy' (played by the ever adorable Saeed "Of course, betchey," Jaffrey) has razed Bihari's little 'hotulll')

My Top 10 English Movie lines

1) Yeah well. The Dude abides. - The Big Lebowski

(Again, there's just too many to choose from. This is the one with maximum skull thwack impact. Sums it all up, don't it?)

2) Why don't you quit? It'd be cheaper for both of us. - Midnight Run

(See this movie, am not going to give this away. One of De Niro's lesser known gems.)

3) You talkin' to me? - Taxi Driver

(No explanations required, eh?)

4) Run, run, you stupid son of a bitch! Run!!!!!!!! - Forrest Gump

(Somehow, this sticks...)

5) Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives - Fight Club

(...)

6) You come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married and you ask me to do murder - for money. - The Godfather

(Gives you a VERY good idea early on, that this is not gonna be your average movie experience...)

7) Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself. - The Matrix

(A little too Zen mebbe, but yep, it works.)

8) What business is it of yours where I'm from, friendo? - No Country For Old Men

(Chilling. Probably the best scene in the movie.)

9) Let's sort the buyers from the spyers, the needy from the greedy, and those who trust me from the ones who don't, because if you can't see value here today, you're not up here shopping. You're up here shoplifting. - Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels

(Again, gives you a VERY good idea early on.. etc.. etc..)

10) You complete me - The Dark Knight.

(The one from Jerry Maguire came in a close second, actually.)

Quote

1. On your blog, provide a link to this page.(http://greatbong.net/book).

2. Then write down your top 10 Hindi movie lines or top 10 English movie

lines (You can do both if you want. Only one set is required for the

contest). If you cannot think of top 10, make it top 5. Cannot think of

even 5? Make it top 3. No problem. Only restriction: no two lines from

same movie. This done to make it fair for other movies so that they dont

get swamped by Gunda or Loha or Sholay.

3. Tag five friends to do the same.
