As Devdas completes 16 years, revisit epic dialogues from Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai’s film

The 2002 romantic drama, Devdas, starring actors Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit Nene and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan completes 16 years of its release today. Helmed by filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the love saga was based on the 1917 Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay novel Devdas. The film revolves around Devdas Mukherjee (SRK), whose life goes downhill after his family forbids him from marrying Paro, (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan). He then turns to alcohol and seeks refuge with a prostitute Chandramukhi (Madhuri Dixit Nene). While the elaborate decor, costumes and storyline remain etched in the hearts of fans, the film was best known for its poetic dialogues. Here’s taking a look at some that fans love to repeat even today.

Shah Rukh Khan: Kaun kambakht bardaasht karne ko peeta hai, hum toh peete hai ki yahan par baith sake, tumhe dekh sake, tumhe bardaasht kar sake.

Shah Rukh Khan: Babuji ne kaha gaon chhod do, sab ne kaha Paro ko chhod do, Paro ne kaha sharab chhod do, aaj tumne keh diya haweli chhod do, ek din aayega jab woh kahega, duniya hi chhod do.

Madhuri Dixit: Har dukh aane waale sukh ki chitthi hoti hai… aur har nuksaan hone waale fayde ka ishara

Shah Rukh Khan: Pyar ka karobaar toh bahut baar kiya hai, magar pyar sirf ek baar.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Yun nazar ki baat ki aur dil chura gaye… hum toh samjhe they but, aap toh dhadkan suna gaye.

Shah Rukh Khan: Aurat maa hoti hai, behen hoti hai, patni hoti hai, dost hoti hai… aur jab woh kuch nahi hoti, toh tawaif hoti hai

Shah Rukh Khan: Ek baat hoti thi tab tum bahut yaad aati thi ... (kab) ... jab jab main saans leta tha tab tab

Shah Rukh Khan: Apne hisse ki zindagi toh hum jee chuke Chunni babu, ab toh bus dhadkano ka lihaaz karte hai… kya kahen yeh duniya waalo ko joh, aakhri saans par bhi aitraaz karte hai.

Jackie Shroff: Jahan ‘kh’ se khush hokar jeena chahiye wahan ‘kh’ se itne khamosh baithe ho, arre ‘kh’ se itne khoye khoye ho, ki pata hi nahi chalta ki aap ghar pe ho

Shah Rukh Khan: Kitni aasani se ginvah diya ki tumhe har pal meri yaad aati thi ... lekin yeh nahi socha ki un palon mein beetta toh main hi tha ... diya tum jalati thi ... par jalta toh main hi tha.
