My Fav movie is Disco Dancer

Don’t worry your eyesight is fine, I have actually typed Disco Dancer in the title section. This was a movie about people who are ‘disco dancers’ by profession!! (and people buy tickets to go and watch them do their thing on stage, it’s a strange world depicted in here!)

This was among the many scenes that I loved in this movie

Background
Kim (not to be confused with Kim Sharma) is the sister of a famous disco dancer, Karan Razdan. Mithunda, a rival upcoming disco dancer is doing his introductory show and Kim, in a show of solidarity to her brother, comes along with a few buxom extras, all armed with sandals and associated footwear to fling on Mithunda. After a lot of singing dancing and footwear flinging action, Mithunda walks up to Kim and predicts that the day is not far when he will be a great disco dancer and she, who now flings footwear on him, will beg him for an autograph. And when such a day dawns he will give an autograph, but only on her lips using his lips!

The actual memorable scene
Years pass, Mithunda’s prophecy comes true, he indeed becomes a great disco dancer and Kim indeed is by now nurturing a hot crush on him. She walks up to Mithunda after a particularly sensational stage show and asks for an autograph. Mithunda, who by now has forgotten all about his previously suggested method of autographing, innocently asks for pen and paper. Suddenly, Kim transforms into a shy, bundle of nerves, shuts her eyelids and proceeds to bite her long red colored fingernail between her lips. The moment she does that, Mithunda remembers the prophecy he had made.

My Fav Alok Nath Dialogues

Alok Nath is an actor who never fails to enthrall me. His nuanced smiles, the expressions of laaj-sharam on his fat rotund face, his tears drenched acting as a suffering father of wronged women, an unmarried sacrificing uncle, or a samdhi getting insanely attracted to his samdhan, all have left an indelible imprint on me. Here's presenting a few of his all time interesting dialogues:-

“Arre bete, yeh tum kya baat kar rahe ho. Apne dadaji ko aise nahi kehte beta, shayaad tumhe yaad nahi ke pandrah saal pehle….”

“Eh heheh heheh. Bache toh bhagwaan ki den hote hain Shardaprasadji. Inke aane se aangann khill uthtaa hai.”

“Aaj tumhare maa baap zinda hote toh unhe tumpe naaz hota, unka seena chhattees se chaalees ho gaya hota, tumne vilaayat se joh degree haasil ki hai.”

"....beta mera kya hain, ab to hum kal ke ho gaye - ab tumhara zamana hai"

"Kya apne boodhe dadaji ke galle nahi lagoge beta?"

"....Arre arre... yeh kya kar rahe ho - tumhari umrra gale milne ke hain, paav chune ke nahi..."
