Munni's Story (Love)

              While Basanti’s love story with Viru was the more flamboyant and popular; no one noticed my love story. The untold saga of true love. Of sacrifice and Pain. People clapped and whistled when Basanti and Viru had romantic sequences. No one noticed the poignant and graceful love story of mine.

               I had lost my husband and family in the attack that Gabbar Singh made. They were treacherously murdered, keeping only one person alive in my whole family. The person who was left alive was of no use to me, as I was forced to do all the household works. Life for a widow in Ramgarh was very difficult. There were so many goons in the village.

                But as soon as I saw my love, when Gabbar Singh was in action, I had to fall for him. He was so handsome. But my family values won’t let my feelings to come out. So I had to remain quiet regarding this. During late nights, he used to check me out and mutely appreciate my beauty and figure. He didn’t speak much. His style of holding the gun when he fought bravely made me realise his manliness.

               He was the one whose voice would resonate once he said something to Gabbar in his manly tone. Now we are happy to live in a family. Though he is old now and keeps French beard, I still love him the same.

               It was after Gabbar’s death, I managed to marry Samba. Now, Basanti is proud to have a mausaji. Samba does all household works now and protects me from the lusty eyes of the villagers, even Thakur. I am Munni Mausi. And this is my true story.

Bindaas Bollywood

These are few lines. Try to recollect them from typical bollywood flicks.

1.”Main tumhare bacche ki maa banne waali hoon”

Yes, that’s the one dialogue you might have heard a thousand times. But still it’s one of the cheesiest and most celebrated lines in the history of cinematic romances. And now the girl doesn’t want to get the child aborted, in any case.

2.”Ye ek maa ka dil hai”

            Maa ka dil is something that can bring tears into everyone’s eyes. Beta chahe police me inspector ho ya roadchaap goonda. Maa will love her chand ka tukda the same way.

3.”Tum Mujhe Nahi Kharid Sakte”

            Yes! Its 100% true. You can’t bribe the new SP/ACP. He is the most honest officer that the police clan has ever seen. So his imaan is not that negotiable.

4.”Tum meri chinta mat karo, use maaro”

            Our hero is in a dilemma. On one end his loved one is dying, on the other the villain is escaping. What to do, and what not! A real fix.

5.”Kanoon Ke Haath Bahut Lambe Hote Hain”

            This you must have realised that no one escapes the hand of the law. Blind law to be precise. The do kaudi ka policewala often uses this dhamki.

6.”Kanoon ko apne haath me mat lo, ise humare hawale kar do”

            One of the fat, unworthy inspectors having a rusted, old gun in his hands somehow manages to save the culprit exactly when the hero is about to take the law in his hands by murdering him.

7.”Pata nahi kiske saath mooh kala karwa ke aayi hai”

            It simply hints at the cause that led to the statement number 1.

8.”Tum chahte kya ho?”

            The hero/his family member/lover asks to the villain with such stupidity that even puts our PM to shame.

9.”Humari bitiya rani toh laakho mein ek hai”

            We know that everyone is one out of the total population. What’s so fussy about the daughter that the oldest woman in the family has to scream out this line, when they are negotiating for her marriage.

10.”Agar tune maa ka dudh piya hai...”

            One of the most challenging lines used by the hero/villain for the other. Maa-ka-doodh remains the most nutritious drink. Ever.

These were the few I remember now. Hope you enjoyed reading.
