Gangs of Wasseypur dialogues



A list of dialogues from both parts which are presently circulating in my mind. These dialogues stand out because of the way each pulsating characters delivers them.

Even characters with very less screen-time like the gun-supplier Yadav leave their mark, without speaking a single word.

Kaahe ki hamara maqsad humko defnite ho giya hai.

Sardar Khan: Hamari zindagi ekay maqsad hai badla. Ramadhir Singh ko badappan ka sidhi chadhte dekha nahi jaata. Uss haraami ko humein mitaana hai. Goli nahi maarenge saale ko, keh ke lenge uski.

I have only one objective in life, revenge.
I cannot stand Ramadhir Singh, climbing the ladders of prosperity.
I will finish that bastard.
I won't kill him at once, I will tell him as I destroy him.



Sultan Qureshi: Har chedah mein bandook dalo, faisal ghar ka qila Hawa Mahal bana do aaj.

Pump bullets into every hole, make Faizal's house a Hawa Mahal.



Ramadhir Singh (to JP) : Chhota aadmi goondai karna chahta hai karne do, mazaa lena chahta hai mazaa lene do. Uske muuh lagego barabar bithaoge achha lagega. Oo awaidh tarika apna raha hai tum waidh tarika apnaao, Dhanbaad thaana tumhaare high command me aata hai naa.. Bulaao S.P. ko khaane pe bulaao; Uske muh me taar daal kar ke, gaand se nikaal ke, isi plaat pe patang naa udai to humra naam nahi.

Small man wants to act tough, let him.
He wants to enjoy, let him.
It won't suit you to stoop down to his level and argue.
Use the legal way, invite the superintendent for lunch,
I will shove a string down his throat, through his ass and fly kite on this plot of land.



Sultan Qureshi: Ye wasseypur hai, yahaan kabootar bhi ek pankh se udta hai air dusre se apni ijjat bachata hai.

This is Wasseypur, here even a pigeon flies with one wing and uses the other to hide his modesty.



Sardar Khan: Ee wo katta banwana tha.
Guy: Banjayega
SK: Cycle ka material leke aye hain
Guy: Cycle ke pipe se nahin ban payega, cycle ka pipe kamzoor hota hai phat ke phlower ho jayega
SK: Phat ke phlower ho jayega!

SK: I wanted you to make a revolver.
Guy: No problem.
SK: I have brought cycle's rod.
Guy: Cycle material isn't strong enough, it will explode and become flower.
SK: Explode and become flower!



Mohsina: Hamein haraa bahut pasand hai, naya suit pehne hain aaj hum.
Faizal: Nail-plish bhi achhi hai- laal.
Mohsina: Hamein laal bhi pasand hai.
Faizal: Abhi toh haraa bola.
Mohsia: Dono pasand hai.

Mohsina: I love green, I am wearing a new dress today.
Faizal: Nail polish is also good, red.
Mohsina: I also like red.
Faizal: Just now you said green.
(Silence+stare)
Mohsina: I like both.



(Ramadhir Singh calls Sultan to his house)
RS: Humne suna ke Wasseypur me kya hua.. Kitne mare?
Sultan : ji 12 log mar chuke hain malik, oo saala sab atom bomb marta hai, chaako talwar se muqabla thode hoga
RS: arrey sardar khuch nahin hai tum uske baap ko nahin jaante the, hamara liye hi kaam karta tha usse dekhke toh bade bdaon ka khade khade moot nikal jaata tha. saala sardar apni baap ki jhaanth ke barabar nahin hai. Samjhe. Tum jitna chaho hatiyar hum tumhe denge , tum aadmi ikhata karo unke paas bomb hai ham tumhe pistol denge, khatam karo saalon ko, chun chun ke gaand mein goli maro sabki, Ee lo.
Sultan: ji
RS: ho payega?
Sultan: haan malik.. thoda automatic.. automatic wall hatiyar mangvaiyega.

RS : I heard about what happened, how many men did you lose?
Sultan : They've killed twelve men, my master..... they throw atom bombs how can we fight them with knives and swords?
RS : Sardar is a nobody infront of his father; one look from his father and grown men used to wet themselves. Round up your men, they throw bombs we'll give you guns. Put a bullet in each and every one of them's ass.
Sultan: Yes, master.
RS : Can it be done?
Sultan : Yes, master... but automatic.. get automatic type guns.



RS (to JP): Tum apni bhavnaaon ko daalo apni gaand me. Saala yahaan baithe baithe chhutwaiyaa netaaon, chhote chhote bachchon ki tarah netaa-giri karte ho. Abe apne ksetra me jaao thoda motivation do logo ko. Au kal raat ko kahaan the.
JP: Sinema dekhe.
RS: Kaun sa sinema.
JP: Dilwaale dulhaniya Le Jaaeynge.
RS: Beta tumse naa ho paayega, tumhaare lakshan bilkul thik nahi lag rahe.

RS(to JP): Shove your emotions up your ass.
Idiot you sit here and play small politics, go to your constituency and give motivation to people. And where were you last night?
JP: Cinema.
RS: Which cinema?
JP: Dilwaale dulhaniya Le Jaaeynge
RS: (silence) Son, you are useless.



RS: Hum abhi tak jinda hain kyunki hum sanimaa nahi dekhte.
Sab saale sabke dimaag me apni apni picture chal rahi hai, sab saale hero banna chah rahein apni picture me.
Ee saala Hindustan mein jab tak sanimaa hai, log chutiya bante rahenge.

I have outlived all my enemies till now because I don't watch films.
Everybody's mind is corrupted because of films, everyone wants to be a hero.
For as long as there is cinema in our country, people will be fooled.

Other observations:

The first scene is an homage to godfather's opening scene. It comprises a one minute, slow, long zoom. The 10:30pm time on the clock also signifies the days when most of the households watched soaps.

In Kaala Re song, Mohsina is reading a Hindi novel when she watches Faizal from the balcony, a popular trend of 90s.
