Birthday Special: Iconic dialogues of the veteran actor Dharmendra

Murtuza Iqbal

In the 60s, 70s, and 80s, Dharmendra ruled the big screens. He was called one of the most handsome actors of Bollywood. Even now, in a year or two, he features a film and treats his fans with his amazing acting talent.


Well, one of the reasons people loved Dharmendra was because of his dialogue delivery. So, today on his 85th birthday, let’s look at the list of some of the iconic dialogues of the veteran actor…

Basanti in kutto ke samne mat nachna…

When I dead, police coming; police coming, budiya going jai. In jail budiya chakki peesing, and peesing, and peesing, and peesing, and peesing…

Is story mein emotion hai, drama hai, tragedy hai…

Kutte, kamine, main tera khoon pee jaoonga…

Ek ek ko chun chun ke maaronga, chun chun ke maaronga…

Actor kya hai? Director ke haath ki kathputli…

Jab t-o ‘to’, d-o 'do', toh g-o ‘gu’ kyun nahin hota?

Oye illaka kutton ka hota hai, behen ke takke; sher ka nahi…

Kuch aur paane ki chaah, kuch aur behtar ki talaash, iss hie chakkar mein insaan apna sab kuch kho bhaithta hai joh uske paas hota hai. Talaash kabhi khatam nahi hoti, waqt khatam ho jaata hai…

Dil ke mamle mein hamesha dil ki sunni chahiye…

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
