Top Dialogue Based Movie of Bollywood from Last 100 years

Bollywood movies are known for its high melodrama, songs, dance, over the top action & Dialoguebaazi. It is the intense dialogue which gives the Indian Hero’s larger than life image an edge.Some time it is the unique style which makes some dialogue immortal. Actors like Raj Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha, Ajeet, Pran & Amitabh Bachchan are some of the actors who can make any dialogue immortal, by their unique style of dialogue delivery. There are some others also, like Anil Kapoor & Sharukh Khan who is known for their single dialogue Jhakkaas & Kkkkiran particularly. These are some example to name.

Bollywood have some repeating dialogues which occur periodically in every second or third film like Mujhe Bhagwan Ke Liye Chod Do, Apne Aap Ko Kanoon Ke Hawale Kar Do etc. But there are certain dialogues which are made to be immortal like Sara Shehar Mujhe Lion Ke Naam Se Janta Hai etc. There are too many posts on web of such dialogue. So here we will talk about Top 25 movies which have too many of such dialogue in single film. Or in other words Top 25 movie which can be enjoyed on audio cassettes only. We will not rank them in any order. It is just ordered according to the year of release. So here we go.

1. Waqt-1965

The first movie which came in my mind is Waqt which have lots of such dialogue at regular interval. Starring Raj Kumar & others Waqt has some memorable dialogue which will never lose it’s essence like  
Yeh bachchon ke khelne kee cheez nahin, haath kat jaye to khoon nikal aata hai, 
Chinoy Seth….Jinke apne ghar sheeshe ke hon woh doosron par pathar nahi phenka karte etc

2. Anand-1971

Anand is one film in the entire article which consists of dialogue touching the reality of life. It is not larger than life, it is what life is. It is philosophy of life, through the words of Anand, it’s central character played by Rajesh Khanna to the perfection. Right after the word BabuMoshay, everything seems pretty magical yet real, like  
Zindagi badi honi chahiye lambi nahi,
Zindagi aur maut uparwale ke haath hai jahanpanah. Usse na toh aap badal sakte hain na main. Hum sab toh rangmanch ki kathputhliyan hain jinki dor uparwale ki ungliyon main bandhi hain. Kab, kaun, kaise uthega yeh koi nahi bata sakta haietc

3. Zanjeer-1973

Movie starring Amitabh, Ajeet & Pran can’t miss this list. These three can make any Dialogue immortal like,  
Is ilaaqe mein naye aaye ho sahab?, varna Sher Khan ko kaun nahin jaanta
Jab tak baithne ko naa kaha jaaye sharaafat se khade raho, ye police station hai, tumhare baap ka ghar nahi
Sher Khan ne shaadi nahi ki to kya hua, lekin baaraatein bahut dekhi hai
Hum aaya to tha karza lene, lekin tumne Sher Khan ko hi khareed liya
Mona jis tarah kuch aadmiyon ki kamzori baimaani hoti hai, usee tarah kuch aadmiyon ki kamzoree imandari hoti hai 
It is the movie which gives Bollywood its angry young man.

4. Roti Kapada Aur Makaan-1974

It is one of those under rated movie which has the capability to become memorable in terms of dialogue but may be due to some unknown reason it loses that. But for me it has some memorable dialogue at every interval, after every second or third scene. Dialogue ranging from philosophical to extreme romantic to preachy like  
Ye mat socho de desh tumhe kya deta hai, ye socho ki tumne desh ko kya diya,
Tumhari ramayan mein ram nahi, meri ramayan mein seeta nahi, 
Goli tumhe lagi, mujhe lagi ek baat hai, 
Jab tum pasand ho to tumhari har pasand pasand hai
& it goes on like that

5. Sholay-1975

Movie that starts the trend of audio cassettes consisting of dialogue only. It is one hell of movie where simple line like Kitne aadmi the? turns out memorable just because of it’s unique delivery by Amjad Khan, Dharmendra or Amitabh. It has most number of memorable lines than any other film. Lines like

Sardar maine aapka namak khaya, 
Tumhara naam kya hai Basanti, 
Mujhe faltu baat karne ki aadat to hai nahi
Itna sannata kyun hai bhai
Poore pachchas hazar
& many more are so normal yet memorable due to this film

6. Deewar-1975

Deewar has some of the most ironic & iconic dialogue at the same time. Right from the word go, it has some larger than life which can mouth any dialogue. It has dialogue for each & every character. Let it be Vijay who says  
Main aaj bhi pheke hue paise nahi uthaataa Dabar Saab, 
Jao jaake pehle us aadmi ka sign lekar aao, jisne mere haath par yeh likh diya, 
Peter tum log mujhe bahar doondh rahe ho aur main yahaan tumhara intezaar kar raha hoon 
 or could even challange to God like Aaj khush to bahut hoge tum.
On the other hand it has dialogue for Ravi which is the greatest melodramatic dialogue ever, which is like Mere pass Maa hai.

7. Trishul-1978

Trsihul again a collaboration of Amitabh Bachchan, Yash Chopra & Salim-Javed gives some memorable dialogue, not worth of comparing with Deewar but yes worth comparing with other Bollywood movies. Dialogue like  
Main paanch lakh ka sauda karne aaya hoon, aur meri jeb mein paanch futi kaudi bhi nahin hai, Jisne pachees baras apni maa ko har roz thoda thoda marte dekha ho, use maut se kya darr lagega, Mere zakhm jaldi nahin bharte
& many more. Mostly it’s the stylish anger of BigB which has made these dialogue cults.

8. Don-1978

One more Salim-Javed collaboration with Bachchan which is sure shot guarantee of coming in such list. It again has some greatest dialogue like  
Don ka intejaar to gyarah mulkon ki Police ko hai magar ek baat jaan lo, Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahin, naamumkin hai 
or other simple lines which Amitabh’s dialogue delivery make memorable like  
Mujhe iske joote pasand nahi the, 
Tum janti ho ki ye bandook khali hai, main janta hoon ki ye bandook khali hai, magar bahar khadi police nahi janti ki ye bandook khali hai, 
Tumhari aunty bahar bahut saare uncle lekar bahar khadi hai

9.  Sharaabi-1984

Again a Bachchan movie, but I can’t help in it. He has the largest number of such dialogues & such movies. Once again in Sharaabi as Vicky he quoted some memorable lines like  
Govardhan seth, Samundar mein tairne waale- kouon aur taalabon mein dubki nahin lagaya karte hain, 
Muchain hon to Nathulal jaise hon, warna na hon, 
Aaj utni bhi sharab nahi maikhane mein, jitni hum chod diya karte the paimane mein etc

10. Mr. India-1987 

Mogambo khush hua, is sufficient enough to make this movie in the list. But then there is more like  
Gayi bhains paani mein, 
Itihaas gawah hain ye hindustani jab bhi aapas main lade hain tab bahar ke kisi ne aake inpe raaj kiya hain.
It has several memorable conversational quotes likes  
Kamaal hai Seema ek to ye dikhaaee naheen dete aur upar se poochh rahe hain ki main thheek hoon ki nahin.

11. Agneepath-1990 

Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, pura naam. Baap kaa nam Dinanath Chauhan, Maan kaa naam Suhasini Chauhan. Gaaon Maandva. Umar, 36 saal, 9 mahina, yeh 16va ghanta chalu hain.
If you have such an introduction for the lead actor than rest is easy to imagine & even, when the lead is Amitabh then the result is pretty obvious which is,  
Kehne ko yeh sheher hai…Sirf kehne ko..Par idhar jungle ka kanoon chalta hai maloom .Cheenti ko Bisturiya kha jaata hai..Bisturiya ko mendak..Mendak ko saanp nigal jaata hai..Nevla saanp ko maarta hai..Bhediya nevle ka khoon chus leta hai..Sher bhediye ko chaba jata hai..Idhar har taqatwar apne se kam ko maarkar jeeta hai, 
Sala telephone bhi kya ajeeb cheez banayi hai? Udhar se aadmi sochta kuch hai, bolta kuch aur hai, karta kuch aur hai. Jaise tum log.

12. Saudagar-1991

When the leads are Raj Kumar & Dilip Kumar you just have to give them some decent enough line & they will add the glory to it. Few examples are

Khaash ki tumne hume aawaaz di hoti, toh hum maut ki neend se uthkar chale aate

Sher ko saanp aur bichoo kaata nahin karte, door hi door se nikal jaate hain
Yeh Thakur Rajeshwar Singh, itihaas batata nahin, itihaas likhta hai, itihaas banata hai
Haq hamesha sar jhukake nahin, sar uthake maanga jaata hai

13. Tirangaa-1993

Another dynamo combo of Raj Kumar & Nana Patekar grace the screen in a complete over the top environment right from story telling to character to execution. So these line are pretty obvious as

Na talwar ki dhar se na goliyon ki bochar se, banda darta hai to sirf parvar digaar se

Lagta hai Babban Miyan ne raat mein soorma nahi lagaya

Maratha marta hai ya maarta hai,

Humari zabaan bhi humari goli ki tarah, dushmanon se seedhe baat karti hai,

Apna toh ussool hai, pehle laat, phir baat, uske baad mulaqat,

Hum aankhon se soorma nahin churate, hum aankhen hi chura lete hain,

Pandra sau ki naukri karne waala, ek din tujhe dedh sau ka kafan pehnayega,

And it goes on in entire movie

14. Damini-1993

After Bachchan & Salim-Javed, another combo that hit every time with effective lines, is Santoshi & Sunny Deol. Right from there first collaboration they go on to give such movies. And than come Damini which provide Deol his Second National Award & he has some powerful lines in a special appearance as

Judge order order karta rahega, aur tu pittaa rahega,

Jab ye dhai kilo ka hath kisi pe padta hai toh woh uthta nahin, utth jata hai,

Tarkih par tarikh, Tarkih par tarikh,

Tum kabhie cheediya ghar gaye ho, wahan par pinjhrey me qaid sher par bachhe bhi moong phalliyan phenk ke maarte hain, kabhi khule sher se muqabla kar ke dekho mard hone ka ehsaas nikal jayega,

Chilaaoo mut, nahin toh yeh case yahin rafa dafa kar doonga, nah tarikh nah sunwaiee, seedha insaaf woh bhi taabartod,

Chaddha in logo se kehdo ke Aise kai khiloney baazaar mein milthe hain lekin inse khelne ke liye jo kaleja chahiye voh mard leke paida hota hai,

Chaddha kabhi kabhi bachhe bhi bijli ke taaron se patang nikaal lete hain lekin is case me ulajh ke tune us taar ko chua hai ki aisa jhatka lagega ki zindagi bhar jhatakna bhul jaoge

15. Andaz Apna Apna-1994

One of the first movie which comes in mind where the dialogues make you laugh every time you remember them. Some fine acting as greatest idiots by Aamir & Salman & their unique portrayal by regularly saying Hailaa & Ooi Maa respectively, provide us with lots of such lines like

Teja main hoon mark iddhar hai,

Tum jo ho woh tum nahi koi aur hai, woh jo hai woh woh nahi koi aur hai, main jo hoon woh main nahi, ya main bhi koi aur hoon? Main kaun hoon?

Aap purush nahi, mahapurush hai,

Aankhein nikalke goti khelunga,

Galti se mistake ho gaya

16. Ghatak-1996

Once again Rajkumar Santoshi came up with Sunny & lit the screen with fire provoking dialogues such as

Ye Majdoor ka Haath hai Kaatiya, Lohe ko pighla ke uska aakaar badal deta hai,

Agar Saaton ek baap ke hai to ruk nahin to kasam Ganga maiya ki, ghar mein ghus ke maaroonga saaton ko saath maaroonga, ek saath maaroonga,

Mard banne ka itna shauk hai, to kutto ka sahara lena chhod de

17. Hera Pheri-2000

Hera Pheri is another film after Andaz Apna Apna which makes you laugh with its one liner every time. Specially, Paresh Rawal who introduces new style of his acting from this movie. He delivers in unique style, lines like

Deva re Deva,

Ye Baburao ka style hai,

Devi ka prasad mandir mein milta hai, garage mein nahin,

Utha le re baba, utha le, mere ko nahi re, in dono ko utha le

  

18. Gadar-2001

Sunny Deol gives biggest hit of his career as well as Hindi cinema. Movie based on Indo-Pak partition & love story at that time period has some memorable lines through out the movie like

Barsaat se bachne ki haisiyat nahin, aur goli baari ki baat kar rahen hai aap log,

Humara Hindustan zindabad tha, zindabad hai, aur zindabad rahega!

Saari duniya jaanti hai humnein batwaare ke waqt aap logon ko 65 crore diye the tab jaake aapke sir pe tirpal aayi thi,

Agar main apne biwi bachoon ke liye sar jhuka sakta hoon, toh main sabke sar kaat bhi sakta hoon,

Ek kagaz par mohor nahi lagegi, toh kya Tara Pakistan nahi jayega. Mujhe mere bachche ko uski Maa se milane mein koi takat koi sarhad nahi rok sakti,

Agar aaj ye jatt bigad gaya, to saikadon ko le marega

19. Dil Chahta Hai-2001

Farhan  Akhtar step rightly in his father’s shoes as perfect script & dialogue writer & giving mainstream cinema a cult youth centered film. It has some fine lines depicting buddy relationship as

Perfection ko improve karna mushkil hota hai,

Ya toh dosti gehri hai, ya yeh photo 3D hai,

Mujhe yakeen hai ki mein sirf isliye janma hoon, ki tumse, sirf tumse pyar kar sakun, tum sirf isliye, ki ek din meri ban jaoo 

20. Haasil-2003

Haasil directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, revolve around student politics in UP. Starring Irrfan Khan & Ashutosh Rana, it has some dialectical dialogue like

Maana bhaiya party warty chal rahi hai par hum bhi koi aise waise nahi hai, chaatra neta hain, maare sala sitti dus hazar launda ikkhta ho jaaye, gher kar baith jayegaa,
Ek baat suno pandit, ye goli woli nahi chalni tumse, mantar phook ke maar do saalee,

Kaha tha pandit hame jinda na chhodna ham maarne mein der nahi lagayenge,

Jitna kaha jaaye utna karo, jyada phantam naa bano, warna kam kar diye jaoge,

Maare lappad budhi ghoom jaye tumhari..force jyada hai to bhaag jaayen? 

21. Omkara-2006 

Another movie with local dialectical dialogue is Omkara starring Ajay Devgan, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello has some fine performance from Ajay & Saif. It has some foul words too, in dialogue as

Bewakoof aur chutiye mein dhaage bhar ka farak hota haiga bhaiya. Dhage ke ingay bewakoof aur ungay, chutiya. Aur jo dhaaga kheeche lo, to kaund haiga bewakoof aur kaund hai chutiya, carod rupiye ka prasan hai bhaiya

Ghagre mein ghus ke ho rahi thi fund raising?

Badi lakdi mat uttha kuptaan,

Sarat ghoron pe lagaate hain kathor, seron pe nahin,

Jo agwai ka kaam kare woh hijra bhaisaab,

Jo mein juttha to kutte ka jaana aur jo main saccha, to teri maa ka khasam bhenchod,

Tu to bewakoof haiga chutiya to insaan shaadi ke baad hove hai,

Teri aur meri kismat to gadhe ke ling se likhi gayi hay

  

22. Rang De Basanti-2007

Rang De Basanti another youth centered film starring Aamir Khan has make an hardcore impact on Indian audience. It also have some great lines like

Koi bhi desh perfect nahin hota, usse perfect banana parta hai,

College ki gate ke is paar zindagi ko hum nachate hai, aur gate ke us paar zindagi hume nachati hai,

Zindagi jeene ke sirf do tarike hote hai. Ek jo ho raha hai hone do, bardaasht karte jao, ya phir jimmedari uthao use badalne ki,

Mujhe hamesha lagta tha ki, duniya mein do tarah ke log hote hain, ek jo chupchap maut ka daman tham lete hain aur, ek jo rote chillate hue maut ki or badhte hain, aur phir main tisre kism ke insaan se mila,

Ek paon past mein te ek paon future mein, isiliye to hum aaj pe khade moot rahe hain,

SMS generation, char liney zyada kya bol di lecture lagne lagta hai  

23. Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai-2010

In 2010, Balaji Production gave break to Rajat Arora, as a dialogue writer who proves as a revelation.  Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai have too many punch lines as it used to be in the movies of 70’s. Starring Ajay Devgan & Imran Hashmi as 70’s gangster they mouthed some heavy dialogue in form of
Main un cheezon ki smuggling karta hoon, jinki ijaazat sarkar nahi deti, un cheezon ki nahi, jinki ijaazat zameer nahi deta,
Dua mein yaah rakhna,

Jaise tu hua tha, upar waale ki dua se, thodi mehnat se aur bahut sari lagan se,

Hamari tasveerein kheench ke apni dukaan mein laga lena, kabhi zaroorat pade, toh dono mein se ek bhagwaan chun lena,

Zindagi ho toh smuggler jaisi, saari duniya raakh ki tarah neeche aur khud dhuen ke taarah upar,

Himmat bataee nahin, dikhaee jaati hain,

Kashti leharoon se takrayegi toh hi kinare naseeb honge,

Sooch lo, baat khatam karni hai, ya kahani shuru,

Jab dost banake kaam ho sakta hai, toh phir dushman kyun banaye?

Jinki manzilein ek hoti hai woh raaston par hi toh milte hai,

& it goes on like that after every scene.

24. The Dirty Picture-2011

Once again Rajat Arora & Balaji Production hits gold in term of dialogues with The Dirty Picture. A movie based on Silk Smitha the southern siren, dialogues are must requirement for it. And it get fulfills in form of following words from Vidya Balan & Imran Hashmi

Agar nahin kaata na, to aaisi jagah katunga, tu confuse ho jayega ki pant pehnu yah ghagra,

Touch to bahuton ne kiya hai, par chua kisi ne nahin,

Jab sharafat ke kapde utarte hai, tab sabse jyaada mazaa sharifon ko hi aata hai,

Jab zindagi ek bar mili hai to, do bar kyun soche,

Public samaan dekhti hai, dukaan nahin,

Holi khelne ka shauk hai, par teri pichkari mein dum nahin,

Filmein sirf teen cheezo ke wajah se chalti hai, entertainment, entertainment, entertainment. Aur main entertainment hoon,

Raat ko barah ki sui ke tarah chipke rehte ho, aur din me che ki tarah,

Kuch logon ka naam unke kaam se hota hain, mera badnaam hoker hua hain

25. Gangs Of Wasseypur series-2012

The epic saga of Wasseypur shown by Anurag Kashyap in GOW series have lot of punch in term of dialogue, dialect, direct from the heartland. It is raunchy, foul yet real. It have too many stars from theater world who know how to deliver, what to deliver & when to deliver. And result is 

Us harami ko mitana hai hamein, goli nahin marenge, keh ke lenge uski

Ye Wasseypur hai, yahan  kabutar bhi ek pankh se udta hai, doosre pankh se apna izzat bachata hai

Tumse na ho payega

Uske moonh mein taar daal ke gaand se nikaal ke issi plot mein patang na udaayi to humra naam nahin

Hum to sochte the ki Sanjeev Kumar ke ghar mein Bachchan paida hue hai, lekin jab aankh khuli to dekha ki hum Shashi Kapoor hai. Bachchan to koi aur hai

Hum zinda hai kyunki hum Saneema nahi dekhte,

Sab ke dimaag mein picture chal rhi hai. Sab saale hero banana chah rahe hai apni-apni picture mein,

E saala jab tak saneema hai hindustan mein log chutiya bante rahenge,

Kyunki asli bahubali aapein hai babusahab

Jis tarah loha lohe ko katata hai, waise hi Chutiya hi to chutiya ko marega
  

So here we end this list. We want to apologize high time to several movies which have single dialogue much more memorable than some of the other dialogue included here. But this article is on movies which have more number of such quotes not on some best dialogue of Bollywood
