Gabbar Is Back Movies Dialogues
“Pachaas pachaas kos door jab koi rishwat maangta hai to sab kehte hain mat le, mat le varna Gabbar aa jayega” and “Ab tera kya hoga, kaalia?”
Producer Shabina Khan admits that the idea for the title came from Sanjay Leela Bhansali. And why Gabbar? “That will be clear only after watching the film’s climax!” she declares.
Nevertheless, the universal appeal of the villain was also exploited in the film’s marketing, like a poster put up at a paan stall, in which one more ‘Gabbar-ism’ was modified—“Rishwat ka chuna khaaya, ab goli kha.”
Gabbar Is Back Movie #Dialog
Villains are often paid tributes or spoofed even in other films, with lines like “Tu kya apne aap ko Gabbar samajhta hai (Do you think you are another Gabbar)?” An ingenious case was when Prem Chopra, in his memorable cameo in Bobby, leered, “Prem naam hai mera, Prem Chopra.” Chopra recalls director Raj Kapoor telling him that if the film became a hit, his character would always be remembered. “Till today, more than 40 years after its release, whenever I go to a public function I am asked to speak the line!” reveals the famous villain. “It has been used endlessly on television shows and stage performances by every mimic. And to think that even on the first day of shooting I was pretty disturbed that I had no other lines! It is amazing!”
An anti-corruption film, Gabbar Is Back, based on the Tamil hit Ramanaa, now tributes Sholay in the most open fashion, hoping to cash in on the magic of Indian cinema’s biggest hit ever. This time, Gabbar is the reformist and vigilante hero, and the tag-line says “Kaam hero ka, naam villain ka”.
And this Gabbar spouts the original Gabbar’s immortal lines by Salim-Javed that are tweaked for the film’s needs yet retain the well-remembered core of the original, like “Pachaas pachaas kos door jab koi rishwat maangta hai to sab kehte hain mat le, mat le varna Gabbar aa jayega” and “Ab tera kya hoga, kaalia?”
