50 Iconic Bollywood Dialogues You’ve Probably Used IRL
Updated on

In the midst of the pandemic, the Chhattisgarh police in Raigarh decided the best way to encourage public safety measures was to use Bollywood film dialogues in their posters, re-interpreting Bachchan's bravado or the 3 Idiots masks as a public service announcement. What they understood, and what most people already know is the immediate cultural connect of such dialogues and iconography.

When in a Mumbai train station you see Bachchan's Deewar and Zameer posters with their dialogues appropriated to some public health issue, you immediately look to see what it is, and chuckle at both the wit (forced, or otherwise) and the message! Such is the power of Hindi film dialogue.
