Best Of SRK Dialogues: Zindagi Mein Do Raste - Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

Shah Rukh's films often preach about the differences between good and bad. It is actually the simplest way to characterize people and things by.This dialogue from perhaps the most loved hindi film ever, DDLJ, illustrates why Raj decided to make the film another hour and a half long. I mean, why Raj goes to India and forms good relations with Simran's family. After all, two people alone don't marry, their respective families marry as well.

Maa ji, main bohot chota sa tha jab meri maa guzar gayi.

Maa ji, I was very small when my mother passed away.

Aaj main jaisa bhi hoon, unhi ki waja se hoon.

Because of her, I am the way I am today.

Woh hamesha mujhe ek baat kaha karti thi jo main aaj tak nahi bhula...

She always told me one thing which I still haven't forgotten...

Woh kehti thi "Beta, zindagi ke har mor par tumhe do raste milenge...

She used to say, "Son, during every turn in life, you will find two paths...

Ek sahi. Ek galat. Galat rasta bohot aasan hoga, tumhe apni taraf kichega.

One is right. One is wrong. The wrong path will be really easy, it will keep attracting you towards it.

Aur sahi rasta bohot mushkil hoga, us mein bohot si musibaatein, bohot si parashaniyaan hongi.

And the right path will be really difficult, there will be lots of problems, lots of worries.

Agar tum galat raste par chalonge, toh ho sakta hai shuruat mein tumhe bohot kamyabi mile, bohot khushiyaan mile..

If you walk on the wrong path, then possibly you will be successful at the beginning, you will find happiness..

Magar aanth mein tumhari haar hongi. Aur agar sahi raste par chalonge, toh bhale hi shuruat mein

But at the end you will lose. And if you walk on the right path, then even if at the beginning

Tumhe kadam kadam mein thokadein mile, musibaaton ka samna karna pade, pareshaniyaan ho..

You encounter with hurdles at every step, face lots of problems, be tensed...

Magar aanth mein hamesha jeet hongi." Ab aap hi baatayen, Maa ji, mera rasta sahi hai ya galat?

But you will always win." Now tell me, Maa ji, is my path right or wrong?

Best Of SRK Dialogues: Maaf Ki Jiyega Sir - Mohabbatein

When  this film released, I was far  from understanding the dept and emotional value of dialogues. But when I started learning and appreciating, the dialogues from this movie kind of blew me away. And now I think Aditya Chopra is a fantastic writer and with Mohabbatein, he did a brilliant job. Such an easy flowing film with dialogues that get engraved in your heart. 

The scene in which the following dialogues were spoken, won the best scene award at Filmfare too. 

Maaf ki jiyega Sir, par jahan se main dekh raha hoon aap har gaye...

Forgive me Sir, but from where I can see, you have lost...

Kyun ki jahan se main dekh raha hoon, mujhe ek 55 saal ka baap apni ek 19 saal ki beti ki phool chadi tasvir ke niche khada dikh raha hain.

Because from where I can see, I see a 55 year old father standing under his 19 year old daughter's flower laced photo.

Aap tab bhi hare they aur aap aaj bhi hare hai.

You lost back then and you lost today too.

Apne kabhi socha Mr. Shankar main Gurukal wapas kyun aaya? Kiske Liye? 

Have you ever thought why I came back Mr. Shankar? For who? 

Jis ladki se main mohabbat karta hoon woh toh ab is duniya main hain nahi...

The girl I love is no longer in this world...

Yeh Vicky, Sameer, Karan kaun hai mere? Main toh inko janta bhi nahi, main toh yahan par kisi ko bhi nahi janta tha... 

Who are Vicky, Sameer and Karan to me? I don't even know them. I don't know anyone here...

Main wapas aaya tha aap ke liye Mr. Shankar...main wapas aaya tha uss baap ke liye jis ki beti se main mohabbat karta hoon.... 

I came back for you Mr. Shankar. I came back for that father whose daughter I love...

Main yahan is liye aaya tha kyun ki woh hamesha kahan karti thi ki,

I came here because she would always say that,

Mere Papa bahut pyaare hai, upar se sakth hai par andar se bahut naram...

My dad is very lovable, strict on the outside but inside really soft...

Woh sakthi todne aaya tha. Pata hain Mr. Shankar, mere paas Megha ki koi tasvir nahi hain, 

I came to break that strictness. Do you know, Mr. Shankar, I don't have any photograph of Megha,

Kabhi zaroorat hi nahi padi kyun ki jahan par bhi mohabbat hoti mujhe Megha dikai deti hain,

It was never necessary because wherever there is love, I can see Megha there.

Aur main sochta tha ki agar main aap ke samne ek bhi mohabbat puri kardoon, ek bhi.. 

And I thought that if I fulfilled one love story in front of you, just one...

Toh aap ko bhi Megha dikhai de jayegi... 

Then you would also see Megha...

Aur aap dekhenge ki woh kitni khush hai toh shayad aap ka dard kam ho jayega

And you would see how happy she is then maybe your pain would become less

Main aap ka dard batne aaya tha, aap ko Megha dikhane aaya tha,

I came to share the pain with you, to show you Megha,

Main aaya tha kyun ki main ek baat samajh chuka tha, ke Megha mere bina adhuri hai, 

I came because I understood one thing, that Megha is incomplete without me,

Lekin aap abhi tak nahi samajh paye ki Megha aap ke bina bhi adhuri hai, 

But you still didn't understand that Megha is incomplete without you as well,

Hum dono ka saath hi usse pura kar sakta hai,

Our union only can complete her,

Main woh pura karne aaya tha jo aap uske jete ji pura nahi kar sakhe,

I came to complete what you couldn't complete even when she was alive,

Main megha ko pura karne aaya tha..Megha ko pura karne aaya tha,

I came here to complete Megha...to complete Megha..

Aap zindagi ki har jung jeete chale aaye, par zindagi ke sare sahare harte chale gaye...

You won every battle in life, but you kept losing every support in your life...

Tab aap ek beti hare they aur aaj aap ek beta hare hain...

Then you lost one daughter and today you have lost one son...

Maaf ki jiye Sir, par jahan se main dekh raha hoon aap sab kuch har gaye,

Forgive me Sir, but from where I can see, you have lost everything,

Kyun ki jahan se main dekh raha hoon, 

Because from where I can see,

Mujhe ek ziddi, badnaseeb insaan dikh raha hain, 

I can see a stubborn and unfortunate human,

Jo khada hain pith kar ke un do logon ke taraf jo usse duniya main sabse zyada chahte hain...

Who is standing with his back to those two people who love him the most in this world...

Maaf ki jiyega Sir, maaf ki jiyega...

Forgive me Sir, forgive me...

Best Of SRK Dialogues: Sach - Pardes

That fine summer night when I started to feel cold...Shah Rukh's voice warmed me up like a cup of hot cocoa! Well...not necessarily this dramatic dialogue from Pardes. But this needs to have its own place in my collection. Note: The red dialogue belongs to Amrish Puri. :P

Sach?? Sach toh aap janna hi nahi chahte.

Truth?? You actually do not want to know the truth.

Kyun ki jo sach sunna chahte hai, woh apne jeb mein pistol aur dil mein nafrat lekar nahi aate Sir.

Because those who want to hear the truth, don't bring a pistol in their pockets along with hatred in their heart Sir.

Bohot bada kaleja chahiye Sir. Bohot bada kaleja chahiye sach ko sunne ke liye.

You need to have a lot of courage Sir. You need to have a lot of courage to hear the truth.

Aur sach yeh hai ke jab aadmi daulat aur takat ki waje se jitna bada hota jata hai, utna hi sach aur asliyat se dur hota jata hai.

And the truth is that as a person grows big because of money and power, he becomes equally distant from the truth and reality.

Woh samajhta hai ke jo usne socha, wohi sach hai. Jo usne kiya, wohi thik hai.

He understands that whatever he thinks is the truth. Whatever he does is righteous.

Aur aap ke saath bhi aisa hi hua hai Sir...bade toh aap ban gaye, lekin khud ke mamle mein zara chotein rehe gaye.

And that's what happened with you too Sir...you became big but you remained small in your personal matters.

Kyun ki sach yeh hai ke aap ne khud se jhooth bola. Jhooth bola ke Ganga jaisi Hindustani ladki aapke iss fhirange-luma ladke ki patni ban sakhti hai.

Because the truth is that you lied to yourself. You lied that an Indian girl like Ganga is suitable to become wife to this Western boy of yours.

Aur iss jhooth ko sach karwane ke liye aap ne mujhse bhi jhooth bulwaya.

And to turn this lie into truth, you made me speak lies too.

Aur main aap ke ehsaano ke bojh mein daba hua jhooth par jhooth bolta chala gaya, jhooth par jhooth bolta chala gaya.

And I was under so much debt to you that I kept telling lies after lies after lies.

Bolta chala gaya ke Rajeev bohot acha ladka hai, bohot acha ladka hai Rajeev. Cigarette sharab ladki, koi aeb nahi hai uss mein.

I kept saying that Rajeev is a nice boy, Rajeev is a very nice boy. Cigarette, alcohol, women...he has no flaws at all.

Woh ek bohot hi mahaan Hindustani ka ladka hai. Ek bohot hi raees Hindustani ka ladka hai. Bohot hi amir Hindustani ka ladka hai.

He is son of a great Indian. He is son to a leading Indian. Son of a very rich Indian.

Ladka hai! Ladka hai Sir. Lekin Hindustani nahi hai. Aur sach yeh hai, ke maine Ganga se bhi hamesha jhooth bola. 

He is a boy! He is a boy, Sir. But not Indian. And the truth is that I always lied to Ganga.

Kya rishta hai tumhara Ganga ke saath??

What relationship do you share with Ganga??

Vishwas ka. Man ka. Maryada ka. Pooja ka. Pyaar ka.

Of trust. Of honor. Of dignity. Of worship. Of love.

Agar Ganga ki hifazzat karna pyar hai toh hai. Hai! Hai! Pyaar hai! Aur hamesha rahega Sir.

If protecting Ganga means love then it is love. It is! It is! It is love! And it will always be so, Sir.

Lekin maine Ganga ko kabhi apne liye hasil karne ko koshish nahi ki. Aur nahi aaj karunga Sir. 

But I never tried to achieve Ganga for myself. And I won't do it today either, Sir.

Kyun ki...kyun ki Ganga aap ki amanat hai. Babuji ki hai. Maaji ki amanat hai. 

Because...because Ganga is yours. Dad's. Mom's. 

Chalta hoon Sir. Ab wapas nahi aaunga. 

Will get going, Sir. This time I will not come back.

Best Of SRK Dialogues: Ek Ladki Thi - Mohabbatein

This dialogue is the opening of the song "Aankhen khuli ho ya ho band" and it is spoken by Shah Rukh as he remembers Megha before blowing the candle on his birthday cake.

Ek ladki thi deewani si

There used to be a silly girl

Ek ladke pe woh marti thi

She admired a boy

Nazrein jhukake, sharma ke

Eyes down, shyly 

Galiyon se guzarti thi

She passed through the streets

Chori chori chupke chupke

Slyly...quietly..

Chitthiyaan likha karti thi

She used to write letters

Kuch kehna tha shayad usko

Maybe she had something to say

Jaane kisse darti thi

No idea who she was scared of

Jab bhi milti thi mujhse

Whenever she met me

Mujhse poocha karti thi

She would ask me

Pyar kaise hota hain

How does love happen

Yeh pyar kaise hota hain

How does this love happen

Aur main sirf yehi keh pata tha...

And I could only say this much...

Best Of SRK Dialogues: Itni Shidhaat - Om Shanti Om

Today is a special day. Shah Rukh completes 23 years in the hindi film industry. And to mark this special day, here is an equally special dialogue delivered by Shah Rukh in the film "Om Shanti Om". In the film, this dialogue is spoken in two different occasions, once in the 70's when a drunk Om presents this dialogue as a mock speech and another time after reincarnation when Om does win a Filmfare. 

Itni shidhaat se maine tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai,

With such sincerity I have tried to achieve you,

Ki har zaare ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai.

That the entire universe conspired to unite you and me.

Kehte hain ki...agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaaho toh puri kayanat usey tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai.

It is said that...if you want something from heart then the whole world gets to work to help you obtain it.

Aaj aap sabh ne mujhe meri chaahat se milaeya, thank you, thank you very much. 

Today, all of you helped me achieve my goal, thank you, thank you very much.

Main aap sab ka shukar guzaar hoon, ki aapne mere khwabon ko yakeen mein badal diya, itna ki I feel like the King of thee World.

I am thankful to you all for making my dream a reality, so much that I feel like the king of the world.

Aur aaj, is baat ka bhi yakeen ho gaya, ki humhari filmon ki tarah humari zindagi mein bhi end mein sab theek ho jaata hai.

And today, I have started to believe that, just like in our films, in the end, everything becomes fine.

Happys endings. Aur agar theek na ho to woh the end nahin hai dosto, picture abhi baaki hai.

Happy endings. And if it doesn't get better then it's not the end...there is more to come.

Best Of SRK Dialogues: Sattar Minute - Chak De! India

Let us continue the series of blog posts "Best of SRK Speeches". :D

Here is one which is pure motivational. I've even listened to it before going for final exams!!

Sattar minute. Sattar minute hai tumhare paas 

Seventy minutes, you have seventy minutes 

Shaayad tumhare zindagi ke khaas sattar minute

Perhaps the most special seventy minutes of your life 

Aaj, tum acha khelo ya bura

Today, you play good or bad

Yeh sattar minute tumhe zindagi bhar yaad rahenge

You'll remember these seventy minutes all life long

Toh kaise khelna hai, aaj main tumhe nahin bataunga

So how you'll play, I won't tell you that today

Bas itna kahoonga ke jaao aur yeh sattar minute jee bhar kar khel lo

I just want to tell you that go and play these seventy minutes to the fullest

Kyun ki iske baad aane wali zindagi mein

Because in the life after this

Chahe kuch sahi ho ya na ho

Whether anything is right or not

Chahe kuch rahe ya na rahe, tum haaro ya jeeto

Whether there is anything left or not, you win or lose

Lekin yeh sattar minute tumse koi nahin cheen sakta, koi nahin!

But no one can snatch these seventy minutes, no one!

Toh, maine socha hai ki

So, I have thought that

Is match mein kaise khelna hai, aaj main tumhe nahin bataoonga balki tum mujhe bataoge, khel kar

I won't tell you how to play in this match, instead you'll tell me by playing

Kyun ki main jaanta hoon ki yeh sattar minute, is team ka har ek player zindagi ki sabse badi hockey khelega

Because I know that in these seventy minutes, every player in this team will play the best hockey in their lives

Toh yeh sattar minute Khuda bhi tumse vaapas nahin maang sakta

 Then even God won't be able to ask these seventy minutes back from you

Toh jaao! Jaao aur apne aap se, is zindagi se, apne Khuda se, aur har us insaan se jisne tumhe, tum par bharosa nahin kiya

So go! Go and from yourself, from this life, from God and from every person who didn't believe in you

Apne sattar minute cheen lo.

Snatch your seventy minutes.

Best of SRK Dialogues: Rishtey - Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum

This is one of the famous scenes from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum. The scene is when Anjali sort of confronts Rahul that he wants to take her shop away from her. But Rahul clarifies with the following dialogue while putting on bangles in Anjali's hands. Romantic, eh?

Dosti ke ilawah bhi kuch rishtey hote hain

Besides friendship, there are some other relationships too

Kuch rishtey jo hum samajhte nahin

Some that we don't understand

Kuch rishtey jo hum samajhna nahin chahte

Some that we don't wish to understand

Chub toh nahin raha?

Is it pricking?

Kuch rishtey jin ka koi naam nahin hota, sirf ehsaas hota hai

Some relationships don't have a name, only its feelings exist

Chub toh nahin raha?

Is it piercing?

Kuch rishtey jin ki koi deewar nahin hoti, sarhad nahin hoti

Some relationships don't have any barriers, don't have any boundaries

Chub toh nahin raha?

Is it pricking?

Aise rishtey jo dil ke rishtey hote hain

Such relationships that are formed by heart

Pyar ke rishtey hote hain,

They are relationships of love,

Mohabbat ke rishtey hote hain.

They are relationships of affection.

Chuba? Mujhe bhi.

Pierced? Me too.

Best of SRK Dialogues: I love you Naina - Kal Ho Na Ho

Next is this all time favorite speech of not just me, but maybe a billion others, "I love you Naina" from Kal Ho Na Ho. In this scene, in order to appease a miffed Naina from completely going away; Aman snatches Rohit's diary from his pocket, in expectations of finding Rohit's expression of love in the diary. But Rohit had only written "I love you Naina I love you very very much." Because he's an effing idiot. Anyway, so Aman starts talking about what actually he himself feels for Naina...

-Naina kaash main tumhe bataa sakta, main tumhe kitna chahta hoon

Naina, I wish I could tell you how much I love you

-I love you, I love you very very much Naina

-Main aankhen band karta hoon toh tumhe dekhta hoon

When I close my eyes, I see you

-Aankhen kholta hoon toh tumhe dekhna chahta hoon

When I open my eyes, I want to see you

-Tum paas nahi hoti, toh tumhe charo taraf mehsoos karta hoon

When you're not around, I feel your presence all around me.

-Har pal har ghadi har waqt mere naina mere Naina ko dhoondte hain

Every second, every moment, every hour, my eyes search for my Naina

-Isse pyar kaho paagalpan ya mere dil ki dhadkan

Call this love, craziness or the beat of my heart

-Mere liye ek hi baat hain

It is all same for me.

-Pyar toh bahut log karte hain

Many people fall in love

-Lekin mere jaisa pyar koi nahi kar sakta

But no one can love like me

-Kyon ki kisi ke paas tum jo nahi ho

Because everyone doesn't have someone like you

-Main tumhe bhool nahi sakta Naina

I can't forget you Naina

-Main tumhe bhoolna hi nahi chahta

I don't want to forget you

-Tum meri ho, main tumhe zindagi bhar pyar karunga

You are mine, I will love you life long

-Marte dam tak pyar karunga aur uske baad bhi

I will love you till death...and beyond.
