So, today let’s look at the list of famous Bollywood dialogues in which a reference to Holi was used…

Holi kab hai, kab hai Holi, kab? (Sholay)

Kal hum Holi khelenge, lekin is Holi mein gulaal ki bajai dhuna udhega, pichkariyon mein se rang nahi, bandookon mein se goliyan niklengi, geeton ki jagah cheekein, aur laaj ki jagah laashein tadapengi (Ilaaka)

Bachpan se aaj tak maine kabhi Holi nahi kheli, magar ab kheloonga khoon ki Holi… (International Khiladi)

Tujhe Holi khelne ka shaunk hai, par teri pichkari mein dum nahin… (The Dirty Picture)

Issi ghar mein aayegi aap ki doli, and wishing you a very happy Holi (Goliyoon Ki Raas Leela – Ram Leela)

Holi utni hi khelo jitna gulaal ho, aur namak halaali karte karte naa khud halaal ho… (Marjaavaan)
