Mere Doston Mere Pass Aao (Continued)

In the previous part of Mere Doston Mere Pass Aao I had discussed how Bollywood relates to our day to day life and what different scenes in Bollywood can teach us. The same stuff continues:

Deewar

In the scene from Deewar where Amitabh Bachchan is going Ga Ga on all the things he has managed to achieve in life, Shashi Kapoor says this single line which is arguably the most famous line in Hindi cinema:

• Mere Paas Maan Hai

In one line, he is able to teach millions of young people running mad after materialistic things that there is much more to life than money etc. Count the number of blessings you have and not the money (as they say).

Sharaabi

Amitabh invites Jaya Prada to his birthday party. Jaya Prada has lost a necklace worth 9 lakhs that was gifted to her by Amitabh. She reaches the party late and crying tells Amitabh that she has lost the necklace.

• Do aansun is aankh se gire, phir do us aankh se, phir do is aankh se gire, phir do us aankh se, phir do us aankh se gire, do is aankh se. Kitne hue? Nau lakh ke haar ke liye barah lakh ke aansun. Daddy hote to kehte: Vijay tumhe to business karna bhi nahin aata

Some things money can't buy, for everything else there is mastercard. Okie, no mastercard was there when Sharaabi was released, but in front of the his beloveds tears, even the best believe that money is worthless.
